Syrian Civil War Is The Biggest Threat For The Future Of Syria

The ongoing conflict/insurgency has well provided a “juicy” avenue for growing terrorists in Syria. The conflict has served as a magnetic attraction to terrorists such as Salafi-jihadist as well as other Islamic

The goal of ISIS is to make a unified Muslim country to enforce the beliefs and ISIS believes that making a Muslim territory or country it will help them in the apocalypse(Gladu). The extremist group ISIS split off from al-Qaida and then claimed they are caliphate(a Muslim community

The purpose of this project is to raise money to help fund the educational fees for the mother and father of the family so that they may work towards a more stable life in Canada and to increase awareness in Guelph about the Syrian crisis. GCVI Cares is a charitable school organization that has been sponsoring a Syrian refugee family since the spring of 2016. The Syrian family arrived in Canada in October 2016 and are very grateful to be in Canada. The family is excited to be restarting their lives in Canada but they need a lot of help settling in. The family consists of a mother named Nour, her husband Ahmed and their two children, Hasan and Emel. Hasan is a 7 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Emel is a 6 month old baby. Back in Syria, Nour and Ahmed were both licensed pharmacists. Currently, Ahmed is working hard to find employment here in Guelph to help support his family while Nour is staying home to help take care of their special needs son and 6 month old baby. For both Nour and Ahmed to get their license here in Canada, it will cost roughly $36,000. In order to help the family through a difficult time, the project wishes to raise money in the Guelph community to help out a family in need. The money donated will go towards Nour and Ahmed’s educational fees and living expenses.

Dystopia is swarming throughout the world, with corruption in governments, totalitarian and irresponsible leaders, and political instability throughout almost every single nation in some form. Countries and communities have been dealing with or have dealt with this serious issue for hundreds and hundreds of years, and will for many more. Examples stretch back as far as Ancient Rome, when ruling emperors such as Nero ostracized his opponents, people of certain culture, and others seen as infidels, leading to tension and the eventual death of hundreds of thousands. A dystopian society can be defined as a society consisting of a severe unbalance between the citizens and their government; Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria, made many nefarious

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is a militant group whose ultimate goal is to establish an Islamic State to govern and control much of the Islamic Middle East. This goal is not necessarily sinister in its general meaning. However, the means of going about establishing this Islamic State should be the cause of concern to the entire world.

Syria’s Civil War is by far the worst humanitarian crisis of our time ("Quick Facts: What You Need to Know about the Syria Crisis"). What started as anti-government protests escalated into a full-scale civil war. Half the country’s population — more than 11 million people — have been killed or forced to flee their homes as a result of the Syrian Civil War(Asare, Patrick, Gritten, Offer, & Rodgers). As forces loyal to Dictator Bashar al-Assad, those opposed to his rule, and jihadist militants from ISIS clash, the innocent civilians impacted by the war are scrambling to find sanctuary. The recent crisis around the influx of the Syrian refugees escaping the Syrian Civil War impacts all countries, particularly the USA. The United States Congress has passed a bill that, as of January 2016, will permit 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States. Syria is extremely diverse in ethnic makeup, but relatively homogeneous in regards to socioeconomic status, majority of Syrians lacking equal access to economic opportunity. In fact, the Syrian Civil War has caused several issues that have ruined prospective financial developments. As a result, the Syrian pound has depreciated to the lowest it has ever been (Butter). By coming to the USA, Syrian refugees can find several opportunities where they otherwise would have been threatened or marginalized. Although the number of Syrian refugees coming into the USA is relatively small, they are helpful to the American economy, bringing important

The Syrian Civil War has become now an international conflict between USA and its allied groups and Russia and its allied groups. USA and its allied groups support free Syrian army who are fighting against Syrian Government Bashar Al Asad. On the other hand. Russia support Syrian Government Bashar Al Asad. The two super power(USA and Russia) are engaging Syria war for their own benefit. Russia supports Syrian Government for remaining historical relation between Russia and Syria. By remaining good relations with Syrian Government Russia can control Middle East by using Syrian sea port Turtas and Russia economically will be beneficiated. On the other hand USA is involving Syrian war for supporting its Middle East allied groups(Saudi Arab, turkey, Israel) who are the neighboring country of Syria and they are supporting free Syrian army. The other causes of USA behind involving Syria war are to continue oil business and weapon business well.

Comparable to past catastrophic events throughout world history, Syria’s civil war began as a chain of significant circumstances which lead to eventual turmoil. Although the Arab Springs, a series of uprisings against dictators in northern Africa and southwest Asia, was the primary basis for the Syrian civil war, climate change induced drought was undoubtedly the inception that provoked the Arab Spring in Syria. Water is essential to human life aiding in agriculture production and livestock care as well as basic human nourishment. Without this life supporting element, rural people flooded to the cities in droves seeking their basic human needs. Along with millions of rural Syrians, Iraq refugees were also flocking to the Syrian cities for comfort and aid. With overcrowded cities, minimal resources, few jobs, and an oppressive government, Syria was doomed for rebellion and civil war, especially considering rebellions in neighboring countries was so successful. Peaceful protests for basic human needs and equal rights were met with aggressive opposition by government militants, which fueled more protests and more deaths. Ultimately, the record drought of 2006-2011 eventually caused the Arab Spring which lead to the Syrian civil war.

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.

This paper will examine some of the core sparks of the Syrian civil war and will attempt to connect them to comparative politics. This paper will first discuss a brief relevant history on Syria which is important to the structure of the subsequent arguments, and by looking at the structure of the government and argument will be made about the nature of authoritarian regimes in sustaining social capital in developing countries. Also, this argument will lead to an examination of the suppression of civil society in Syria which contributed significantly to sparking the civil war. Syria has historically been a perpetrator or crimes against their people, even prior to the start of the civil war, and this paper will make the argument that those crimes were the core underpinnings of an opposition against the authoritarian government in control. This paper will also attempt to offer possible differences that Syrian could have implemented which could have helped the country avoid its civil war, specifically by addressing the structure of the government. Also by addressing Syria’s approach to democratization and opposition against the longstanding authoritarian government. The Syrian civil seemed to be an inevitability due to having an authoritarian regime in control and the sustained repression of civil society.

The term Red line is an international phrase used to figuratively represent the point of no return and define the limits of when it’s appropriate to take military action against a certain government or group. The term was widely used in 2012 when the international community was discussing the Syrian Civil War and the necessary action outside countries should take against the Syrian government to protect innocent Syrian civilians. The United States and its allies wanted to support the opposition of the regime, but they were conflicted on when and why they should take military action, not wanting to be dragged into another war in the Middle East. The documentary Red Lines follows a Syrian activist, Razan Shalab al-Sham and the director of the Syrian Emergency Taskforce, Mouaz Moustafa, as they work together to gain support for the Syrian people and the Free Syrian Army during the Syrian Civil War. Red Lines exemplifies the personal human experience in Syria by displaying the corruption in the Syrian government, socioeconomic declines for Syrian people during the Civil War, a lack of international support for the citizens of Syria and conflicting viewpoints of nationalism found throughout Syria during the civil war.

Despite the clear practical, and moral benefits of Responsibility to Protect mandated humanitarian intervention, some critics have vociferously argued against intervention, often, with political motives. Since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the United Nations have tried to adopt a resolution that would refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court who would commission the investigation of the horrific war crimes being committed in the country. However, due to vetoes from the Chinese and the Russian governments, the United Nations has been unable to sanction the investigation of war crimes in Syria, allowing for a culture of impunity to be fostered, and for a violation of the R2P doctrine to be legitimized. The rationale for the Russian government’s veto is both a political and a strategic one. The Russian government is strongly allied with that of Bashar Al-Assad, having frequently supplied it with military assistance both before and during the civil war. Additionally, Vladmir Putin, Russia’s president, sees many parallels between its style of governance and that of Assad’s, fearing that allowing for international intervention in Syria, could open its own borders up to scrutiny. Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s permanent representative on the United Nations Security Council, also argues that these vetoes are important to maintain the UN’s integrity as a neutral organization, fearing that any intervention, even when it falls in line with the R2P

A power vacuum exists in the region, with ISIS (aka Islamic State of Iraq and Levant), Al-Nusra, and Kurds all battling for control in Syria. ISIS, which now owns the largest portion of Syria, took advantage of the power

President of the United States Barack Obama met with the Turkish Prime Minister to discuss about how to end up the civil war in Syria. Syrian civil was is an armed conflict, which started in March 2011 and developed into international demonstrations in April. The main conflict is held between non-formed rebels wanted to overthrow the power government Ba’ath Party and the resignation of the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, whose family rules the country since 1971. Ba’ath Party is neo-Ba’athism dominant government party that has ruled in Syria since 1963.
