Syrian Regime Research Paper

During the BBC documentary, that shed light to what truly takes place behind the walls of the facility, an American citizen’s heartfelt message to President Obama to continue with the commission hearing to seek justice she stated “you must purse justice for the 3000 victims of September 11th and I ask this in my son Justin’s memory”(Portillo). Justin’s mother’s heartfelt outcry, shown in the documentary, to the President and to the United States government that justice has still not been reached for the deceased or their loved ones. This is a reminder to those that even for a second consider closing this facility that these three thousand people that lost their lives not only were robbed of the opportunity to live fulfilled lives, but also to take part in the lives of their loved ones. The pain that the nation went through during this time has ran deep throughout the nations core and this pain has been reflected in countless efforts to avenge the death of the ones lost during this attack and to prevent others like it. If we were to take the approach of releasing the prisoners we would not only be releasing criminals back into the worlds’ society, but we would also be neglecting the feelings of many Americans.

Have you heard of Bowe Bergdahl. A U.S. soldier named Bowe Bergdahl was a prisoner. Bow was held five years as a prisoner. The U.S. army exchanged five Afghan prisoners for Bowe Bergdahl. Bow did not support the Americans. He wanted to start a new life. He slipped off the remote military outpost in Pakistan province on the border. Soldiers went looking for him and they were sadly killed looking around the Afghans land.

Negotiations are complex, involving mixed motives, and the Bergdahl case is no exception. In the end, Bergdahl was released in exchange for the release of five Guantanamo Bay prisoners convicted of terrorism. The outcome reinforces the idea discussed in class that compromise is a win-win and a lose-lose proposition. In this case, Bergdahl was released safely, but it is now known the U.S. will negotiate for American captives held by extremists. Sceptics believe the perception from this case jeopardizes the safety of very American-civilian and military alike (Thor 2014). White House officials refute this claim, pointing out the U.S. negotiated through the government of Qatar rather than with terrorists (Wallbank and Ratnam 2014).

for the release of two other Americna detainees if Bae continues to say bad things about the reclusive country. The agency warned that the American prisoners will never be able to return to their home country.

An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the Tsarnaevs had received refugee status. The parents of the Tsarnaev brothers reached the United States on tourist visas and applied for asylum. To get asylum, an applicant must meet the definition of a refugee, but unlike a refugee he or she has already reached the United States and is subject to a different application process. After the Tsarnaevs obtained asylee status, they successfully applied for derivative asylee status for their children. The story has been corrected.

The corrupt President of Syria, Bashar al- Assad, has also committed extreme crimes against humanity. It was recently found that "a Syrian army photographer who catalogued thousands of cases of torture and murder in Bashar al-Assad’s prisons has spoken out for the first time about witnessing atrocities that have been described as crimes against humanity and led to calls for the president’s prosecution” (Black). The Syrian photographer identified himself with a code name of Caesar and is now a current refugee in Europe. Caesar fears that he will be “eliminated” for releasing the most damaging exposure of Syrian state violence since the uprising in 2011. Caesar stated that “before the uprising, the regime tortured prisoners to get information;

One form of Assad’s cruelty as a leader is shown in Syrian prisons, such as Saydnaya, where the prisoners are often tortured and killed. “Every week, often twice per week, between 20 and 50 people are taken

Millions and millions of Syrians are trying to escape the dangers of the Assad regime and ISIL. As a matter of fact, World Bank USA reports 11.2 million Syrians seeking refuge somewhere in this world, either in Syria or in Japan, or anywhere else in this world.

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.

A fundamental law that emerged in 1966 considered Syria a socialist republic that formed part of the Arab homeland. In 2007 Bashar al-Assad was elected leader. He currently belongs to the Ba’ath party and is in alliance with the National Progressive Front. Syria’s dominant political party is The Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party. Only this party has the authority to carry on activity in the armed forces.

On May 31, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) assault on the city of Manjib, along with an air assault support of the U.S., had begun. Since that assault began, until Friday, when the last of the ISIS militants had fled the city, it has claimed the lives of thousands of people, whether they were Jihadists militants, SDF fighters, or simply civilians. Along with the liberation of Manbij, more than 2,000 hostages were released, that the SDF and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights report, were used as “human shields."

He was grabbed by plain clothes civilians who he later recalled as calling themselves a special removal team on the flight to his eventual prison by a private jet. He recalled many events and stops along the way. To the New York Reporter who wrote his story. They finally dropped him in Syria. He was now at a black site because torture was not condoned by the United Nations and we certainly could not do it here in America on our soil. This is interesting because coinciding with his capture President Bush, in an interview with the Times, assured the world that “torture is never acceptable, nor do we hand over people to countries that do

The higher flames from that of the war in Syria need to be stopped. The head of the opposition party, the al Nusra front is said to have stronger connections with the leader of al Qaeda, Aiman al Zawaheri, who was senior advisor to late Osama Bin Laden. The Al Nusra front is heavily armed by the the al Qaeda, and the arsenal provided to them by the al Qaeda is both of light and heavy type. The Syrian government is therefore facing heavier and stronger offense from the opposition.

The Syrian government is facing large opposition in its civil war; however, no single group seems able to truly contest the government, especially with the Russian government openly and actively supporting the al-Assad regime. The main pressure on the government of Syria is coming from native Syrians due to the events of the Arab Spring. The Assad regime held an authoritarian position over its people. Many Syrians protested this authoritarian government, and the Assad regime responded with violent force. This has caused a large split within the nation and has created many rebel groups intent upon overthrowing the Assad regime and establishing a democracy in Syria. The main belligerents against the Assad regime include the Free Syrian Army,

The violence has reached terrifying proportions.
