SYRIAN CONFLICT EXPLAINED President Assad (who is bad) is a nasty guy who got so nasty his people rebelled and the Rebels (who are good) started winning. But then some of the rebels turned a bit nasty and are now called Islamic State (who are definitely bad) and some continued to support democracy (who are still good). So the Americans (who are good) started bombing Islamic State (who are bad) and giving arms to the Syrian Rebels (who are good) so they could fight Assad (who is still bad) which was good. By the way, there is a breakaway state in the north run by the Kurds who want to fight IS (which is a good thing) but the Turkish authorities think they are bad, so we have to say they are bad whilst secretly thinking they're good and giving …show more content…
So Assad (bad) is now probably good, being better than IS (no real choice there) and since Putin and Iran are also fighting IS that may now make them good. America (still good) will find it hard to arm a group of rebels being attacked by the Russians for fear of upsetting Mr Putin (now good) and that mad ayatollah in Iran (also good) and so they may be forced to say that the Rebels are now bad, or at the very least abandon them to their fate. This will lead most of them to flee to Turkey and on to Europe or join IS (still the only constantly bad group). To Sunni Muslims, an attack by Shia Muslims (Assad and Iran) backed by Russians will be seen as something of a Holy War, and the ranks of IS will now be seen by the Sunnis as the only Jihadis fighting in the Holy War and hence many Muslims will now see IS as good (doh!). Sunni Muslims will also see the lack of action by Britain and America in support of their Sunni rebel brothers as something of a betrayal (might have a point) and hence we will be seen as

After much thought about what I would want to for my volunteer project, I finally settled on the “Feed the Homeless” campaign organized by the Southwest Rotary Club of Las Vegas. This experience allowed me to work with the fantastic organization, Rotary International, and has given me the opportunity to better myself, both personally and professionally, through working with great people and overcoming the challenges presented to me.
(Michales) The Russian Defense Ministry said that a training camp and ammo depot were destroyed by bombings near the Islamic State’s defector capital in Syria, Raqqa. The countries of France, Turkey, the United States, Germany, Britain, Qutar, and Saudi Arabia; all say that Russia’s actions will “only fuel more radicalization and extremism.” (Michales) Russia’s airstrikes complicate U.S. efforts to build a moderate opposition in Syria, designed to counter the Islamic State there. (Michales) Pentagon efforts to train and deploy forces stalled before Russia’s airstrikes, but any future recruitment could be difficult if the Pentagon doesn’t provide U.S- backed rebels with guarantee of protection if they come under Russian attack. (Michales) Iraq is accepting help from both the United States and Russia is an ally to the Shiite- dominated government, Iraqi leaders will follow them, while the U.S has been trying to force the Iraqis to compromise with the Sunnis. Nonetheless, when the time comes, Iraq will pick Russia for help to fight
The California Gold Rush was a spectacular event in California’s history. It occurred from 1848-1855. Many, many people migrated to California to find the gold that was said to be there. This changed California from a dreary and unpopulated place to a thriving and happy place to be. Not everyone struck it rich, though, not even the person who discovered it, James W. Marshall.
It’s true that president Bashar Al-Assad has made some mistakes handling conflict in syria.But Bashar Al-Assad isn’t completely a bad leader.It is oftern argued that he has made many positive changes to syria after his father formed a strong iron regime.It is true that he created a bad environment for chlidren and adults since the start of the 2011 syrian civil war.Opposing views claim he is receiving help from Putin with russian aristrikes.The russian and American air strikes have really depleated the number of ISIS soldiers in Syria and other threats to the counrty.
On the other hand if a local group like the Kurds take control of the region in a more peaceful way they can attempt to rebuild the nation. In Ed Royces article from The Orange County Register
Bashar al-Assad has been using political power to maintain control over his people. When Assad ran for office on his third-term, he won with 88% of the votes only because the election ran through government controlled areas. In the timeframe that Bashar has been president, over 4 million people have fled Syria to
The opposition forces, while not fighting each other or Assad's forces, are combating a tertiary group of radical islamists --who-- like the forces of the Comintern, are comprised of domestic and foreign radicals who are imposing their totalitarian will over the regions that they control. It must be noted that while ISIS, in contrast with the Comintern forces, is not a hard Leftist organization. The economic alignment of ISIS can be more accurately compared to that of Third Position politics, which share many socio-economic traits of Stalinist Leftism. SImilar to the Spanish Civil War, this political infighting has led to the weakening of the opposition forces. This has led to many experts alluding to a Assad victory. A victory that could be avoided if the opposition forces put aside their ideological differences in the quest for “democracy”.
By Isis attempting to invade Syria, the rebels are given a chance to fight them, an opportunity very welcome
When Hafez al-Assad and his party The Ba'ath Party, seized power and he became the President of Syria, Hafez al-Assad started building a base for a disgusting dictatorship. Hafez al-Assad given power and high ranks in the military and the government to mostly the Alawites(A branch of Islam), he wanted to prevent people turning against him due to belief or becoming a mole as Alawites his people. All of that showed the favouritism in the Assad regime from the beginning, which later on his son Bashar al-Assad took over when his father died, but unfortunately nothing has changed. The long reigning Assad regime has destroyed Syria, because the regime is anti-western, anti-jew, and anti-human rights.
To add on, the Kurdish forces, ISIS, the Assad regime, other oppositions are the main factions fighting in this war. CNN states the clans fighting in the war are becoming
Since the Syrian Civil War started, there are horrible things going around all over the world. As two superpowers of the world, the Russian and US governments have been taking positions in this war too. According to Putin (2013), the Syrian War is not just a battle for democracy. There are many different religious groups who are fighting with each other and the government to take the control of the country. Not just Arabian mercenaries, there are hundreds of militants from Western countries and Russia are fighting there. When these militants return to their countries, they might be in an endeavor to do awful things.
Six years ago Syria’s civil war broke out and has torn the country apart. Violent reactions of the Syrian government to peaceful protests led the country into chaos.
Many people didn’t like President Assad, they didn’t like how he ran his country. All this chaos started when many people started to not like the injustice that was starting to happen.
While this is occurring, the U.S. starts its air striking campaign in Syria and began to train the Syria rebels to fight just ISIS instead of Assad’s forces. In response to the U.S. actions in Syria Russia who is Assad’s strongest ally begins its drone strikes in Syria claiming to fight ISIS but mainly has been targeting the U.S. backed Syrian Rebels who just so happen to be fighting Assad. All the forces mentioned
