Syrian Civil War Case Study

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

“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 Syrian Civil War has had a profound effect of all Syrians as well as neighbouring countries and the international community. With more than 11 million homeless Syrians comes consequences beyond what most of the world population has ever experienced or anticipated. Of the displaced, almost 5 million are refugees outside Syria and around 6 million have been displaced inside Syria, with half of all displaced Syrians being children. The main causes of displacement amongst the population is the violence committed by all sides of the war, and which often targets civilians or centres of high civilian activity (such as markets, hospitals, schools, workplaces or high density residential areas). One main group heavily affected by the conflict

In this paper, I will argue that the United States should accept more Syrian refugees by analyzing Miller and Kukathas’ arguments to reach the conclusion that Kukathas makes a more convincing argument because the freedom of movement argument and the humanity obligations of the United States outweigh the risks of a threatened cultural identity and economic state. The Syrian refugee crisis started in March of 2011 when anti-government groups began to protest against the government. These protests quickly became violent as the government turned to armed opposition groups to quiet the rebellion. This violence has created chaos in Syria as human rights are being violated everywhere and necessities are becoming scarce. There is no sign of an end approaching as the death toll reaches over 250,000. Syrians are escaping after seeing the destruction around their homes from airstrikes and bombings, killing many friends and family members. The U.N. estimates, a potential 11 million people are displaced, fleeing to nearby countries with refugee camps or Europe in hopes to gain citizenship. The journey to escape Syria is not an easy one with the threat of snipers and kidnappings for young men to fight for either cause. The need for aid continues to grow as humanitarian organizations attempt to keep up.

The United States should continue take in Syrian refugees at a high rate because it is a humanitarian gesture for the people uprooted by war and crisis. The United States has been accepting refugees systematically since 1980, when the Refugee Act passed. The goal of the Refugee Act was to create a uniform procedure with which to provide these opportunities to refugees. Since early 2011, Syria’s civilians have been suffering from the effects of their country’s Civil War. The United States provides a safe haven for babies, kids, teens, and adults who are impacted by the war tragedy.

It has been four years and is a lone crisis’ that is most sought to be assisted. Firstly, in order to contribute, there must be awareness and realization of the fact that this issue is not solely affecting Syria and Syrians. People need to care and talk about it. They have to know that this crisis is not independent. Secondly, people need to contribute and support Syrian Refugees: whether a generous donation or a small donation from many, it will impact the lives of several families. These small actions can lead to bringing clean water and food to people, improving shelters, giving families some basic household needs and attempting to provide coping methods for some of the terrors that young children and adults have been faced with. Both knowledge and provision can create global response. This will bring resources to refugees who need it to survive and aid when executing the reconstruction of

People don’t understand why Muslim’s migrate to the USA and we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. A lot of people from Syria leave because they don’t have the necessities to live. “Blocking access of food, water, and health services through sieges” (Fitz 20). This evidence is telling us that they leave because food, water and health is a huge issue where they live. To sum everything up people from Syria leave because they have to not because they want to so we shouldn’t judge them or tell them to go back to where they are from because if they could they would most likely have left if they wanted

Syria’s civil war has overflows of violence all around the world. Groups like ISIS who feel as if the west has caused the plight of the Arabs or Muslims will attempt to retaliate against the west, curbing that overflow by funding NGO’s, United Nations agencies, and other programs that are assisting in putting an

Okay, so the Syrian Refugee Crisis. What exactly is going on? Before you can understand what’s happening to the people, you have to understand the catalyst behind everything that’s happened. In March of 2011, peaceful Syrian protesters were ambushed by President Bashar al-Assad’s army. This continued for a few months and in July of that same year, the protesters began firing back. This was the beginning of the five-year ongoing civil war in Syria. So, you have this Middle Eastern region essentially split into two fractions: the rebels, which consist of the Syrian protesters, the Gulf States, and the United States. On the other hand, you have Assad, with Iran and Russia firmly in his corner. Suddenly, it’s turned into a “Great Powers” dispute reminiscent of the Cold War era.

However, we have a limit as to accepting refugees. Our economy and national security cannot afford the costs of these refugees. In my opinion, the ultimate goal for helping Syrian refugees is to take back the lost territory and restore their country. With the current war lasting more than 5 years and not showing any signs of terminating, Syria needs more international military support than ever. Regarded as the world’s policeman, the US have the responsibility to help suppress it and contain the spread of terrorism in the

First of all, there are origins to explain how the refugee crisis began. In 2003, the U.S invaded Iraq because of its alleged connections to terrorism, and weapons of mass destruction. Iraq had involved rebel groups, like ISIS. The U.S invasion led to the formation of the very terrorists the U.S wanted to drop in the first place because Iraq was now the perfect training ground for terrorism (“Kurzgesagt”). Although the U.S invasion had happened, the U.S didn’t know what to do with it, and now it just has created more issues. From my point of view, with us citizens living in the U.S, we should not get involved as it would probably make a bigger problem with the place where the refugees are fleeing from. In 2010 the Arab Spring happened. In Syria, the dictator Bashar al-Assad didn't think much

In 2011, the Syrian Civil War started. The Free Syrian Army is one side, fighting against Bashar Assad, the ruler of Syria, on the other side. From this conflict, more than four million people have fled their homes, becoming refugees and having few places to flee to for safety, the United States being somewhere only taking a little under 20,000. The United States should increase our acceptance for Syrian refugees because it will undermine ISIS recruitment, better the economy and help national security.

A very controversial topic in the United States right now is whether or not to help the Syrian Refugees. There are two sides to this issue. One side believes that if we let them in, there will be terrorist attacks, which makes them a threat to the American Society. But on the other side, these are destitute humans, fleeing their homes to try to provide safety for their families and loved ones. But how can the United States help them most effectively? Because of the war that the United States had with Iraq since September 11, 2001, the war spilled over into Syria. How is the United States supposed to help the Syrians, and keep America safe? “States protesting the admission of refugees range from Alabama and Georgia, to Texas and Arizona, to Michigan and Illinois, to Maine and New Hampshire…

This issue was chosen due to its scope. The Syrian refugee crisis is among a list of issues that will not only shape the world in 2016 but also dominate news outlets in upcoming years. Because of the despairing situation, many governments are struggling to find ways to handle the rush of individuals seeking asylum, for the fact that it seems the crisis is worsening. In addition, the media coverage on the topic sparked my interest and led me to research information because I had no idea what was occurring and the detriment of the issue.

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
