The Syrian civil war, also known as the Syrian rebellion is a continuing fortified conflict in Syria between armies trustworthy to the Ba'ath government and those in the hunt for to overthrow it. The conflict began on 15 March 2011, with famous protests that grew countrywide by April 2011. These protests were part of the wider Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab Spring. Protesters demanded the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has held the presidency in Syria since 1971, as well as the end of Ba'ath Party rule, which began in 1963.
The Syrian conflict started in 2011, and most people asking way all this killing happening, well the answer is because the government started use a harmful method to stop the protest that inspired by the Arab spring. So when the Syrians started the protest they were very peaceful toward the Ba'ath government, but the dictatorship of the government used a lot of destructive actions toward the people of Syria such as raping, killing, torturing, and throwing booms on the cities that killing kids. The Syrian didn`t like Al Assad actions, so they started to use weapons toward the government. So that’s way all the conflict happened
There are two groups in Syria that always fight against each other, and they are the Shi’a against the Sunni, also a fact that Bashar Al-Assad is from Shi`a, so all the Shi`a support him, and a certain Sunni group stand for the Sunni people in Syria. Another thing that there are an external parties outside Syria that influenced a lot to this war such as (china, Russia, US, UK, and other countries), and Russia announced its offer for commerce with the mounting chemical weapons crisis on 9 September, as the US Congress was fixing to vote on wh...

... his country, so he didn’t want the chemicals weapons to reach the US, and the Russians step in so they can use those chemicals weapons for their own interest according to WikiLeaks. So that all I think about of how to stop the Syrians civil war.
In the end a lot people don`t want to the Syrian civil war to end because several groups want to control the lands of Syria such as (Hassan Nasr Allah – Muslims brotherhood – and Iran), and we can`t do something about it, but I recommend that everybody learn from the countries that opposed their kings and presidents because who goes against their rulers in the end they will fall such as (Libya, Tunisia, Egypt), also our great messenger Muhammad Peace be upon him. He said “listen and obey it to them, they are on you “. So I recommend that we shouldn`t go against the kings or the presidents because there will be a chaos.

    In 2010 the Middle East experienced a disturbing series of protests and riots against the government. The term Arab Spring was coined as an allusion for the 1848 revolutions that rocked the Arab world. This devastating revolution saw its inception in a chain of small scale protests for the democratization of the Arabian governments. With its start in Egypt and Tunisia it has not failed in affecting every Arab country from Libya, Sudan and Morocco in the West to Yemen and Saudi Arabia in the East. A branch of the same revolution has successfully managed to become the cause for a civil war outbreak in Syria and even stretched its influence outside the Arab world to affect Iran and Mali.

  • Why The United States should Intervene in the Syrian Civil War

    1481 Words  | 3 Pages

    SUMMARY: The Syrian Civil War between the Syrian government, and the insurgents, as well as the Free Syrian Army has been escalating since early 2011. The United States, and our allies have faced difficulty in sending aid to Syria, and continue to deal with obstacles in sending even basic medications to Syrian civilians. However, the United States and its allies have also contributed to the lack of organization and the disparity in Syria by sending aid and artillery to individuals based only on political connection, and ignoring organization, local alliances, and without a true understanding of the reality of the Syrian localities to best protect the Syrian protestors. The question addressed in this memo will be defining the viable options to be pursued in Syria, how to pursue them, and assessing the most beneficial path of least resistance when offering aid, funds, and artillery to specific groups in the country. The recommendation will be that although the best alternative action item would be to choose a Syrian group with the least oppositional values comparative to the United States to fund, supply with arms, and train; that the United States should do nothing for the time being. Given the physical and financial risk involved with the Syrian Civil War, it would be prudent for the United States to simply observe how the war progresses over the next several months, as well as complete some research to truly understand the state of affairs in local areas of Syria to determine the extent to which the United States could identify a group to provide aid to, as well as the extent to which the United States involvement would be within Syria.

  • Violence and Crisis in Syria

    An attack on the Syrian state would fall within the boundaries of the international concept of the responsibility to protect. The crisis in Syria has escalated by protests in March 2011 calling for the release of all political prisoners. National security forces responded to widespread peaceful demonstrations with the use of brutal violence. The Syrian President Bashar al-Assad refused to stop attacks and allow for implementation of the reforms requested by the demonstrators. By July 2011, firsthand accounts emerged from witnesses, victims, and the media that government forces had subjected innocent civilians to detention, torture, and the use of heavy weaponry. The Syrian people were also subjected to the Shabiha, a largely armed state sponsored militia fighting with security forces. Al-Assad continually denied responsibility to these crimes and placed blame on the armed groups and terrorists for these actions.

  • The Syrian Refugee Crisis

    A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to the basic requirements of life; a place to live, food to eat, and a form of employment or access to education. Currently, the largest cause of refugees is the Syrian civil war, which has displaced over 2.1 million people. As a country of relative wealth, the United States should be able to provide refuge for many refugees, as well as provide monetary support to the refugees that they are not able to receive.
