Syria Is The Religion Of The State

“a really, really tough case” that defies historical parallels. Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War refers to political, military and operational support to parties involved in the ongoing conflict in Syria that began in March 2011, as well as active foreign involvement. Most parties involved in the war in Syria receive various types of support from foreign countries and entities based outside Syria. The ongoing conflict in Syria is widely described as a series of overlapping wars between the regional and world powers, primarily between the U.S. and Russia as well as between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The French’s mandate over Syria after World Ware One had an irrevocable impact on the nations’s communal factions. The mandate lasted from 1920-1946 and they begun their rule with intentionally made sectarian divisions. They were made in order to prevent Arab nationalism and stifle national independence movements. The divisions were made my religious and national minority. Granting the minorities independent status locations where they make up the majority. For example, there was a large population of Alawites in the mountain range behind Latakia, the French declared them a separate state. The Druze were granted the right and ability to govern themselves in the city of Jabal, just south of Damascus. The one religious group that did

“The community’s blunt outrage over the children’s arrests and mistreatment, the government’s humiliating and violent reactions to their worries and the people’s refusal to be cowed by security forces embolden and helped spread the Syrian opposition.” This notion demonstrates that the killing of the four protestors was only the first of many deaths to occur continuing into an on-going war that has: “…triggered nationwide protests demanding President Assad’s resignation.” Because of this, the Syrian government decided that in order to handle the issue they must crush this nationwide dissent. This in return only allowed the protestors to push harder for a change within the country of Syria, in hopes of it becoming the wonderful country that it was in the years prior to the war. “Syria’s conflict has devolved from peaceful protests against the government in 2011 to a violent insurgency that has drawn in numerous other countries.” “With neither side able to inflict a decisive defeat on the other, the international community long ago concluded that only a political solution could end the conflict in Syria.”

In Syria there are two main religions: Islam and Christianity. Muslims are followers of Islam, and there are two types of Muslims: Sunni and Shias. Muslims mostly live in northeastern Syria, some in Damascus, and the rest are scattered around Syria. There are many types of

This is another example of violation of the Human rights declaration. The syrian government is Targeting its own citizens based on religion, ethnic group and political background. Which directly violates page 6 of the Human rights declaration book.

Syria has been the epicenter of wars and prosperity for many decades. Whether it’s the Syrian-Franco war that gave their independence, or the flood of Universities that entered in the 1950’s; it’s always been a mixed bag with Syria. Many people will look at the destabilize modern Syria and wonder “How did it get to this point?”, well in reality it was not one event rather a concurrency of events that all led up to Syria’s likely demise.

The genocide in Syria had begun in the early 2011. The Syrian president has cracked down, and started to do brutal things to the people. They used tanks, artillery, and attack helicopters against the protesters. On August 21, 2013, they started to use a new chemical weapon. The chemical weapon had killed over 1,400 people. The invoice of these chemical weapons has reached about 240,000. About 12 million men, women, and children were forced to flee from their homes, and houses.

Since the September 11th 2001 attacks on the soil of the United States of America, the country has been engaged in a war on terror, particularly with the group Al Qaida. At first the country of Syria was an ally of the nation in its endeavors against terrorism until the point when the United States went to war with Iraq and its leader Saddam Hussein in the mid-2000s. The relationship between the United States and Syria has been continually strained. Some of those who have authority and power in the United States advocate governmental interference over the issues of Syrian interference in Lebanon, over its relationship with the Palestinians, its record of violations of human rights against its own people, and its continual development of weapons of mass destruction despite direct order from the United Nations. Since 2011, there have been mass demonstrations in Syria to protest Bashar al-Asaad, the country's tyrannical ruler. The question at hand has then become whether or not the United States should intervene in the events in Syria or not.

The Syrian capital, Damascus, has seen many changes throughout history. Today, it is populated by of a number of ethnic groups, mostly Arab, a reasonable number of Kurds, and Armenians are also present. Syrians have had many protests against Assad and have wanted him and his government to step down. During a protest on March 25, 2011 thousands of Syrians were demanding reforms and “mourning dozens of protesters who were killed during a violent, week-long crackdown that brought extraordinary pressure on Bashar al-Assad's autocratic regime.”

In May 2011, the Syrian people took to the streets in peaceful demonstration against the Assad regime’s lack of political progress and extreme responses to anti-government graffiti. However, the protests soon became violent. The government tortured, killed, and shot at the protesters. The situation escalated to a civil war, which is still raging on today. Syrians started fleeing Syria and crossing the border into neighboring countries such as Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq.

Over the last few years, the Middle Eastern nation of Syria has been the location of a brutal, nationwide conflict. Governed for the last fifteen years by the Syrian dictator, President Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian people began an armed rebellion against the oppressive regime during the spring of 2011. For four years, the bloody conflict has waged between pro-Assad forces, and various factions of rebel groups. In 2013, pro-Assad forces deployed rockets with chemical warheads into rebel controlled neighborhoods, killing many non-combatants indiscriminately, showing the world Syria’s complete lack of humanitarian considerations, and Assad’s willingness to stop at nothing to remain in power. This use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime has

The Syrian crisis began in early 2011 when Syrian President Bashar al-Assad began a brutal crackdown on protests throughout the country. In March 2011, security forces opened fire on protesters at a “Day of Rage” rally in the southern city of Deraa, triggering violence and civilian death. The Syrian government’s violent response led to military personal leaving the

The Syrian war is perhaps the worst type of war of modern time. The war has gone on for more than five years now, and a solution is yet to be found. The conflict has claimed over 250 thousand lives and left more than six million refugees (Erlich 1). It is believed that more than seven million have been displaced internally. The escalation of the war and difficult in finding a lasting solution is due to the involvement of foreign countries. The situation in Syria has been made by the interference of the West. The West did not only create the situation Syria, but they have intensified the dilemma and made the conflict last for many years. Some people may argue that the Syrian war was influenced by Arab uprising.

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

Syria has undergone very tragic situations such as, an ongoing civil war since 2011 that is still active today. This civil war was caused mostly by the actions of Syria’s current president Bashar Al-Assad. When protesters in Syria demanded long overdue reforms in the political system, President Assad saw this as “an illegal revolutionary effort to overthrow” Syria and its citizens (Carter). Assad felt that what he was doing was legitimate and the Syrian citizens were wrong which therefore
