Syrian civilians and activists wave pre-Baath Syrian flags, now used by the Syrian opposition, during an anti-regime demonstration in the central Syrian town of Talbisseh in the Homs province, on March 4, 2016. For the first time in years, hundreds of Syrians across the country took advantage of a nearly week-long ceasefire to resume anti-government protests under the slogan "The Revolution Continues." Waving the tricolour flag that has become the emblem of Syria's uprising, demonstrators in opposition-held areas of Aleppo, Damascus, Daraa, and Homs called for the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. / AFP / MAHMOUD TAHA (Photo credit should read MAHMOUD TAHA/AFP/Getty Images)
