Syrian Genocide
Country: Syria

1. Previous History of Systemic Acts of Violence

The Syrian breakdown began in 2011 when Syrian President Bashar el-Assad began a brutal crackdown because of the peaceful protestors of the country. The attacks escalated when a civil war broke out between the Assad Regime with allied militias and opposition groups against the protesters because a group of kids under the age of 15 sprayed a wall with graffiti, demeaning the Assad Regime, which was considered a crime against the government.

2. Persistence of articulated tensions of grievances between groups

There were 2 society groups within Syria. There was a group of protesters who spread their protests throughout the country with the use of tanks, helicopters and artilleries, and a group from the Assad Regime, which ran under the control of Syrian President Bashar el-Assad. It ran within the government, associated with allied militias. The protestors believed the government was wrong to torture young children for expressing their thoughts through graffiti.

3. Lack of Institutional conflict-resolution structures

There were 2 courts within Syria. The SSSC (Supreme State Security Court) and the ESC (Economic State Court). Violence began escalating between security forces and anti-government protesters. 15 were presumed dead on March 24. On 21 April, 2011, President el-Assad abolished the SSSC and issued a decree stating peaceful protests as a basic human right, which was now guaranteed by the Syrian Constitution.

4. Closed Society

Throughout the Syrian Crisis both, the UN and the United States attempted to aid the people of Syria. The UN have helped take in refugees that have fled the country, and have also condemned the violence against civilians. The UN has not come up with a solution for the madness occurring in Syria. The United States waits for aid with limited missile attack.

5. Extreme/Ruthless Leadership Bashar al-Assad had no interest to enter

    The bias in the CNN article is focused mainly around the death of Syrian children and civilians as well as the Syrian government torturing the protestors. This article is quick to antagonize the Syrian government for its harsh actions against the anti- government protestors and does not focus on the pro government rallying other than to merely state that it happens. In addition, the CNN article begins by stating the deaths at the anti-government rallying. For…

    The latest few decades are associated with the baby boom. Every year more than half a million people begin to look for a job. Without doubt, it is impossible to provide so many people with the new workplaces. For that reason, the problem of unemployment is become more and more urgent. Millions of people require a job, as they need to support their families. When you do not have a stable income, you become angry and dissatisfied with your life. I suppose, this factor is one of the most considerable ones when we speak about the Syrian Civil War.

    The article, “Coalition Vows To Supply Syrian Opposition,” by The Associated Press [1] speaks of the developments that are happening in Syria concerning the Syrian Uprising (2011-ongoing), which is part of Arab Spring. Arab Spring was when a wave of independence movements against totalitarian governments in the Middle East began to break out across the Arabic states. Egypt is one of the few that has been liberated from its totalitarian rule from Honsi Mubarek, who was forced to step down by the Egyptian people, and their efforts towards supporting and/or taking part in demonstrations, protests, or attacks on/against the state's totalitarian rulers. The current dictator of Syria is President Bashar al-Assad.…

    Syrians like me are being treated very poorly by other countries. They are forcing us to get passports of different origin. Thanks to the news fabricated lies, Syrians are now considered “troublemakers”, and that convinced other countries to not accept us. As a result, some countries are not allowing anyone carrying a Syrian passport into their country. Since the news inspirited them to believe that we are all potential troublemakers, emanate from a poor country, and will take jobs from the host country’s denizens, Syrians need to protest and explicate our authentic situation.…

    I can’t come to school or go to work without listening the international news. Every morning, rather than getting something to eat for breakfast I turn on the TV and flip through the channels between CNN, BBC or Aljazeera to watch the news about Syrian civil war. The Syrian civil war is an ongoing conflict that’s happening in current time. The problem started in early spring of 2011 within the context of “Arab spring” protest and nationwide demonstrations against the policy of the Syrian government. Although the United States of America has a policy of intervention and involvement in country like Syria, they should not do it because it could increase the civil war even more, it could make even more people immigrate and it will save the lives…

    Genocide In Darfur

    Genocide is one of the most tragic events that could ever happen, when a group of people are deliberately killed and tortured, usually just based on ethnicity. Genocide causes sorrow, anger and a loss of hope. Friends and family are often killed in front of their loved ones in a split second, and when are gone, nothing can be done. One of the most famous genocides is the Holocaust, yet many people do not realize that genocides are happening even today. An example of a genocide still happening now is in Sudan, where many Darfuri people are being killed every single day. Although the conflict in Darfur is not recognized as a genocide by Sudan’s government, it is safe to conclude a genocide occurring because innocent Darfuri people are being segregated, killed, and deprived of their basic needs.…
