Syrian Civil War
Syrian Civil War
Project on Syrian Civil War
May, 2013

War is the horrible, the most cruel activity of man. It is nothing but mass murder. The evolution of human society towards something better has always been under wars. Millions of dollars are spend every year for deadly weapons of war. Human nature hates cruelty although some people believe that humans must shed blood to satisfy their blood thirsty nature. But is it so the case? Wars have been fought for a lot of reasons. But the Syrian one is the worst, civil war. Usually wars are fought over religion differences, natural sources, etc. But in the case of Syria its own people fight because of the government. This war is still continued today, between loyal forces to the Syrian Ba 'ath Party and those who are against it. It all started on March 15th, 2011. Protestants of the Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab Spring demanded the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad to resign as they wanted to end the four decade Ba 'ath Party rule. It is supposed to be a presidential republic rule, in which all executive powers rests with the president. Although, in reality is a Saddam Hussein-style presidential dictatorship. In April of the same year the Syrian Army was ordered to open fire against the protestors. The war continued and after a while they were acquired with weapons, all opposition forces even civilians unified into larger groups. Despite the unify, no leadership was organized. The government considers them terrorists. Unfortunately, many conflicts have been reported all over the country, in which many innocents are killed. Many countries including United States condemn the use of violence from the government. Even though the war had not reached the cities of Damascus and Aleppo, unfortunately in late 2011 suicide bombings caused the Hezbollah, a Shi 'a Islamic militant group, to enter the war and support the army of Syria. In the new year, 2013 the war 's death toll had exceeded the 60.000,

    Foremost, the conflict could have begun because of political repressions. Without question, the political system of Syria resembles monarchy. The family of the current Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has been ruling the country for 45 years. His father became president in 1970. Since that time, the country has not seen any political reforms and changes. The current president came to power in 2000. Doubtless, al-Assad has not done anything for the development of a democratic state.…

    The Syrian uprising started in March of 2011 when the people of Syria started protesting due to the government's lack of respect for human rights and demanding reforms. The government responded with a military shutdown, using tanks and snipers to encircle cities. Because of this, the people of Syria began to demand President Bashar al-Assad to step down from his title. He has strictly ruled Syria since 2000 because of the death of his even more authoritarian father, Hafez al-Assad. The Assad family has controlled Syria for over 40 years, turning the country into one of the world's most repressive police states. The people in Syria had seen how Libya and other countries have overthrown their governments, so they are greatly influenced by their actions. This turned into a growing civil war between the Syrian rebels, and Assad and his supporters.…

The assassins were believed to be Palestinian and therefore later on during that same day, the Phalangists retaliated with an attack on a bus that was travelling through a Christian neighborhood. The bus was filled with Palestinian passengers and twenty-six occupants were killed. Fighting erupted the next day between Phalangists and Palestinian fighters.
