Changes In The Syrian Civil War

Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of modern time. The “Syrian Civil war Began in March of 2011, between rebel brigades and government force; economy and infrastructure is destroyed” (Library, 2016). “Divisions between secular and religious fighters, and between ethnic groups, continue to complicate the politics of the conflict” (Corps, 2016). Additionally, the Syrian civil war has taken a significant

With a death toll in the hundred of thousands, and millions displaced, the Syrian civil war has become a violent mark on the world’s history. What started as a peaceful protest has spread over five years, has evolved into a war with a tyrannical government, a clashing rebellion, and terrorism fighting either side. But what is it that really fuels the immense amount of violence? It can be narrowed down to four groups that are obvious. The government and the rebels are the forerunners in violence in the war, sure, but they aren’t the only ones. There are the terrorist groups, with skewed views to support the destruction of people and things around them, and in itself the stark difference of the religions and ethnicities of Syria. Who causes

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has been in charge since 2000, following on from his late father who ruled for 30 years. Commencing in March of 2011, an anti-regime uprising has since escalated into Civil War where it has been estimated that more than 400,000 have been killed (CNN, 2017). Just this death toll alone proves the danger and inhumane conditions the people of Syria have been living in for over six years. Controlling large areas of Northern and Eastern Syria, Islamic State (IS) have been left battling government forces, rebel brigades and air strikes from

In Syria we see massive civilian displacement and casualties due to fighting. The specific symptoms are armed conflict, air strikes, and purported chemical weapon usage. In following step two and collecting data we have verified proof that the problem exists via independent and state sponsored journalists reporting to all major news syndicates worldwide. The beginnings of the conflict formed over many years of pro-democracy civilians being suppressed in lieu of an authoritarian government. The beginning of the actual anti-regime uprising started in March of 2011 following the arrests of teens and children for political graffiti (Syrian Civil War Fast Facts, 2015). This lead to mass demonstrations in the country's capital and surrounding cities, and let to Syrian police and military forces beating and even killing protesters. This led to the formation to militias forming which split the country into the military and security forces of the Syrian state and militant rebels attempting to overthrow the government. The impact of the problem is that Syria has spiraled into a constant state of chaos throughout the country, resulting in almost complete devastation of all the country's main cities, as well as, constant war and the death of many innocent people and

"I shall try my very best to lead our country towards a future that fulfills the hopes and legitimate ambitions of our people," (Bashar al-Assad). By doing so, the Syrian president has evoked more violence than good. In Aleppo, (a major city of Syria) the terrain has quite literally been reduced to rubble as result from the civil war. Taking over this city was the last major hope for the rebels, but overtime the regime has taken over. Barrel bombs have been dropped throughout Syria resulting in great devastation. It has been estimated that over 6,000 barrel bombs have been dropped throughout the war, with their use escalating. Aleppo is just one out of the many cities that Bashar has been waging a war in. Even through Assad has been promising geographic reform, it has been shown that he has brought his people the opposite with the collapse

The Syrian Civil War continues to be a major issue in the world today. Though it began as an issue over the resignation of President Bashar Al Assad against the government and Syrians, the war has greatly escalated. It currently involves over 50 different groups, all supporting either the government or the Syrian people, but possessing a slightly different goal. All of this violence poses a threat to individual nations all through the world, focusing on the immigration of refugees into such nations and the impact of such a movement upon that nation. Furthermore, all of this violence has violated the human rights of millions of people, with rape , torture, and harsh execution style killings occurring on a daily basis. Millions of people caught

As rebel forces are trying to overthrow Assad and his regime, Assad is ordering the military to fight back with full force. What is truly horrifying is that Assad's forces have already killed tens of thousands of civilians with conventional weaponry and the use chemical warfare has killed even more (Coll 29). Two million people have fled the country because of the atrocities committed by Assad and his forces (“A Step Too far; Syria” 13). If Assad keeps his chemical weapons, the rebel forces will continue to fight back to stop Assad. The civil war will continue to grow and countless civilians will die. Syrians are continuing to suffer under a brutal civil war as rebels consolidate territorial gains. The government steps up by attacking in civilian areas, and neither side nears a decisive victory (Jost

Today the international committee and other nations around the world argue whether or not President Bashar-Assad of Syria ought to step down from his position as leader of the Syrian people.it’s not too late to save Syria from falling apart.

What started out as low-scale anti-government protests in 2011, have now uproared to an entire civil war throughout Syria, as well as involving other neighboring countries and outside nations. Over twelve million Syrians have been forced to leave and over 250,000 have already been killed. Jihadist militants from Islamic State are taking control over almost half the territory of Syria, as well as parts of Iraq, and the public claims that Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad is not taking the right or necessary steps to help find the solution to this chaos, which causes some countries to strongly encourage him to step down.

It is important to understand the foundation of the crisis in Syria not only for the benefit of the people within its boarders, but also due to the repercussions it causes in territories outside of them. The Syrian civil war has drawn the influence of many world leaders, and is causing global tensions due to overlapping interests. The intertwined web of conflict makes it almost impossible to explain the situation at hand, and even the most educated find it difficult to wrap their heads around the dispute. The three big W’s—who, what, and why—should

That following May, the Army tanks enter Deraa, Banyas, Homs and the suburbs of Damascus in an effort to crush anti-regime protests. In June that same year the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) nuclear watchdog decides to report Syria to the UN Security Council over its alleged covert nuclear programme reactor programme. The structure housing the alleged reactor was destroyed in an Israeli air raid in 2007. July 2011 President Assad sacks the governor of the northern province of Hama, after mass demonstration there, eventually sending in troops to restore order at the cost of scores of lives. In October the same year new Syrian national council says it has forged a common front of internal and exiled opposition activists. In February 2012 the Syrian government steps up the bombardment of Homs and other cities. In 2018 April the Syrian government uses chemical weapons on their own citizens. The U.S. launches missiles at military bases and research stations to stop the government from using chemical

There were many factors within Syria that would work against the change into nonviolent resistance. In contrast to Tunisia where the departure of the president who was seen as a liability did not threaten the establish on a larger scale, in Syria, the cohesion and societal linkages meant that many more interests would be threatened if the Assad were to step down. The heterogeneity of the Syrian society has long undermined collective action among the opposition, and the intense links between Assad and the regime core prevented the elites from abandoning the president as many did in Tunisia. Syria had additionally enjoyed some degree of Nationalist legitimacy from decades of opposition to Israel and western imperialism, a blatant contract to the leader of Tunisia who was an ally of the West. The dynamics of Syria’s slide into violence illustrate a number of features of the politics of resistance, and insight into the causes and consequences of resistance. Strategies of violence often follow the perception that actors have no choice but to engage in violence. Violence is a reaction shaped by the immediacy of state

One of the deadliest civil wars of the twenty-first century would hands' down have to be the Syrian Civil War. Since it started in March 2011 due to the lack of freedom and a demand for democracy within a corrupt government it consequently became this atrocious war that has been extremely hurtful not only to the government of Syria but also the people. In the photograph, we can see a glimpse of the tragedies currently happening due to the conflict with the people or “rebels” fighting for democracy while their president is running a dictatorship.

If America and the coalition wish to defeat the Islamic State and re-stabilize Iraq and the Levant, Assad should be funded and the FSA discarded.The continual conflict in Syria is one of the most controversial and misconcepted engagements in the modern era, because of media organizations spreading these truthless allegations and misconceptions. Most westerners view the Syrian Civil War as a fight between an evil regime led by the brutal and malicious Bashar Al-Assad, and Peaceful democracy seeking freedom fighters. The Syrian Civil War has been waging for over half a decade, and has gradually diminished into a war of attrition. The conflict was thrust into existence after Sunni-Arab Syrians became especially enthusiastic about the Arab Spring. The Rebel Bloc in Syria is often thought to have piggybacked off the momentary success of the Libyan Rebels ousting the Gaddafi Regime. However, contrary to the Libyan Rebellion, the War in Syria has been devolved into a legarthic war of attrition that spans multiple nations in the Arab World, and is dominated by a copious number of multi-goaled factions. One of these factions rose to relevancy in 2013. Several titles have been coined to reference it, such as Daesh, ISIS, and ISIL, but when referred to professionally, it is often called The Islamic State. The Islamic State has committed a genocide of which has displaced and massacred ethnic and religious groups that have inhabited Islamic State held territories prior to the Arab

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
