第二週-敘利亞內戰

 Civil War

Picture
The country spirals into a Civil war as violence runs rampant through the country. Rebel brigades are formed and the fight to control the cities are started between rebel forces and governmental forces. Damascus and Aleppo see the most fighting and highest civilian death tolls 

By June 2013, the UN and other sources report that 90,000 people have been killed thus far during the Syrian Civil War. This number would double in the next year and has now reached over 250,000 sources at the UN report. 

The Syrian conflict is now multifaceted with many moving parts. These moving parts are more than just tensions between rebel and governmental forces. The country faces ethnic tensions, the introduction of world powers, jihadist groups, the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations. 
A UN commission of inquiry, investigating alleged human rights violations since March 2011, has alleged evidence to show that both sides of the conflict have committed war crimes since the start of the conflict. These war crimes include murder, torture, rape and enforced disappearances. Other crimes include rebel forces have blocked access for food, water and health services for civilians. 

UN Security Council released resolution in 2014 demanding all parties end the "indiscriminate employment of weapons in populated areas". Since the release of the resolution, sources suggest more than 6,000 civilians have been killed by barrel bombs dropped by government aircraft on rebel-held areas. The UN has suggested that civilians have been directly targeted. In addition to those war crimes committed by rebel and governmental forces, the Islamic State has been accused of wagging terror on northern and eastern Syria and committing war crimes relentlessly against the civilians in the territories they occupy. 

US military intervention became a threat after the death of hundreds in August 2013 from the nerve agent sarin. The threat forced President Assad to agree to remove and destroy all of Syria's chemical weapons. The removal was a joint mission led by the UN and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). The destruction was completed a year later. Even with the efforts of the international community, chemical attacks are still being reported by both the government and the Islamic State.

  1. Civil war is a thorny problem, so Western countries have to hold a lot of refugees from Syria. Even if these refugees flee the fight temporarily, they feel unsafe due to the terrible experience. I rejoice to live in Taiwan instead of living in Middle East countries. What we can do is don't complain about anything we have.

  2. Syria is now in a turbulent era, whether it is war or politics are very confusing. The people are simply asking for democratic reform to be suppressed by the army. This is really a big fire. It is obviously the corruption of politics and the result is the sorrow of the people.
