- Ten years since the start of the war and things in Syria have never been worse.
Millions have been internally displaced or have sought refuge in neighbouring countries. Cities and historic sites lie in ruins.
So who’s still fighting who in Syria? Can its people ever return home? And is there an end in sight?

feed the poor is not profitable, what you get in return for feeding poor?, well give job to poor that different story, how you give jobs to poor?? by war of course. . war is always part of human consciousness because we have different ideologies.
What is the poor going to do? Wars enrich the winner, america steals oil with it...they feed their citizens...syrian citizens have no oil and they suffer.

Syria has a special place in my heart because of the help Syrians gave to Greek refugees, including my father, and because of all the lovely Syrian people I have met these last few years. It is so sad that even still, today, Syrians are unsafe in their own country.

Here's a way to settle ALL the wars, griping, gossiping, greed (at any "level"), and stupidity on the global scale. Just turn the f'n planet to glass and have it over with.
“The level of humanitarian suffering in Syria is just beyond imagination.” I’m Syrian, i was 9 when the Arab Spring started.. I remember watching the news with my family and following all the updates, I remember my father recording Hosni Mubarak's resignation statement live from the TV, and the breaking news about Mu'ammar Al-Qadhdhāfī’s assassination, we had high hopes as a family who was involved in politics and never liked the government in Syria, and I thought that what was starting to happen in Syria was going to end the same ways that in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya were ended.. but it didn’t, it actually didn’t end at all.. after the March of 2011 nothing was like before, even the air smell changed.. all we saw back then was nations getting liberated, little did we know that the future wasn't going to hold the same high hopes as it did back then.. now i’m 19 in diaspora, missing my father and my family, praying for my Syria and the rest of world..
But sadly, Egypt and Libya turned worse than before. El Sisi is as horrible as Asad. I feel like the only solution to this fuckery is that we do a united Arab revolution from Iraq to Mauritania and make a united strong nation. Because that way, it would be very hard to destroy it (internally or externally).The road to achieve that is very long, but not impossible.
I hope this war ends justly and soon and work for that end
Very poetic insight for people like me who truly want to understand more about the conflict and your home.
If you think of anything you could tell me that helps to understand the motion and emotion of your countrys change i would be grateful for another comment.
I hope you and the people closest to you find peace and resolve.
For some of us life is like a test.
Your people have gone through one of the hardest tests there is, for that i am sorry.
@@sox-b9999 Just like under the Ottoman? If so then I'm in... Call us, the people living in the Malay archipelago. We're also sick of our countries here
@@LeOssiTrollterrible Thank you very much for your interest in the Syrian issue.. This really means a lot to me.. I will try to leave a comment from time to time explaining my point of view and perhaps also things I witnessed during the war in Syria.. I hope that these things are enough to give you the tip of the thread to understand the Syrian issue Which is simple and complex at the same time.
After I left Syria with my family, we resorted to one of the neighboring countries. After that I lived in a state of denial. I no longer followed the news or anything related to the war. I did not search on social media about Syria or Syrian news because, as a child of eleven, I wanted to start over. I wanted to start An aesthetic, orderly, and harmonious life far from the war and all its memories.. but although I stayed away from the war, the war did not stay away from me, not for a single day.
I still remember the first time I read that the war in Syria has become called (the civil war in Syria) and is no longer a (revolution) a revolution for which a thousand died, a revolution defending the freedom of a nation.. The word civil war provoked me very much, especially since the Syrians did not once say that it was A civil war, even with their different points of view and loyalties.. The war in Syria was a war on a people. The number of civilians who stood with the regime of Bashar al-Assad, with the exception of the army or the intelligence services, were not compared to the number of half the Syrians, not even a quarter of them, and for this reason many governments entered to support that fallen regime Even if it does not appear in this way, like the Russian and Iranian governments and a number of others, if it was really a civil war? What are the Russian forces doing on our land? Why not let the Syrians wrestle each other? The civil war is a big lie.
What happened in the United States during the last elections is a clear example of the difference in viewpoints between one people and the problems caused by those differences and intellectual fanaticism, but what happened in the United States and what happened thousands of times in many countries around the world, no one can call it a civil war! ..
Syria also has many sects and races that have lived together for thousands of years, even before there was such a thing as governments, democracy and politics.. They lived together with their differences, with their intellectual fanaticism, and with their problems.. They lived as Syrians in a beautiful Syria.. Through thousands of years it did not develop The problems and differences of this simple people, to something like the Syrian war now..
And as i once read
”Until today, the ongoing war cannot be viewed as a war between two parties equal in strength or organization. It is a war between a dictatorial regime that hijacked the state and a segment of the people that sees its interests with it on the one hand, and a large group of the Syrian people.”
Also
”The media uses the term "civil war" to describe what is happening in Syria, while Western media often work to shed light on the actions of extremists operating under the cloak of the so-called "State of Iraq and the Levant" in particular.
This left the impression on many observers - especially in Western countries - that there is an opposition that includes extremists and is fighting for power with the government, and therefore both parties are equally bad, or at best: there is a civil war between two parties, and therefore ((((let them solve their problems away from us.)))”
and here the problem lies precisely in that sentence. When they chose to use the term “civil war” in the Syrian war, they were in another way evading their responsibility to stop the bloodshed of innocent Syrians, as they were turning a blind eye or finding every reason, which in my opinion is not rational, to normalize the military interventions that took place in Syria and were without a doubt all against this oppressed people and their interests, and did not support them not even for once..
In the coming days I try to leave a comment explaining to you how the war was from the point of view of a Syrian child of nine and ten watching it from the balcony of his Damascene house.. How was that war simply away from all the nonsense of politicians who did not witness that war, so calling the word civil war was simple and easy on them..
This makes me feel useless for not doing anything while innocent people are dying😔.the only thing I can do is to pray for them🙏!!!!
I agree 😞💔

Syria is a testing ground for different types of weapons, from drones and missiles to chemical weapons. All nations are interested in the war in Syria - Europe , Turkey , Iran, Israel , Russia , USA...
I agree, since theres a war they (military powerful countries) took advantage on it, whats happening in the world?

Dirty bombs with nuclear waste
That's not a logical assumption. This is all about hegemony power and control.. been going on for millennia
I've been waiting for this follow up documentary about Syria
documentary after documentary a chase of vanity it's bad everywhere
“There are hundreds of thousands of US soldiers too.. protecting oil fields” (frog emoji)
Idiot who can’t count!
🐸
What else would the US be doing in an oil-rich war torn middle eastern state? Certainly not helping the people and the economy, no, no, that would be actually nice of them.
Yes, if there were no oil fields in Syria there would be no US soldiers there today. If Iraq and Kuwait had exported coconuts instead of oil, the US would not have helped Kuwait from the Iraqis and in turn Iraq would not have been invaded by the US in 2003 with the disastrous consequences we still see today, nearly 20 years later.
I love how everyone is talking about Americas hand in Syria but turn a blind eye to the atrocities that Russia and Iran have been committing
Whenever I feel suicidal living modestly in a western country in these crazy pandemic days I use Syrians as my denominator that life as I know is not so bad. Particularly all the poor innocent Syrian children caught up in all this bullshit.
Exactly my feelings
The West is causing all this mass suffering, they need to repent before they meet their Lord. 🙏🏿

"Hundreds of US soldiers are there too, mainly to protect the oilfields."
The whole reason this war started..
Yup but Russia started bombing oil field where Turkey stealing oil
No the war started because of free Syrian aemy
@Duffy63 Some people are allergic to facts
This war awas preplanned by UK and US along with Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey and more. This Al Jeezera news is not accurate. Assad never barrel bombed or kill his own people. ISIS is an intelligence agency creation. This was always a proxy war.
@Duffy63 where are you from btw? I know what's going on... follow Janice Kortkamp on Facebook who has been to Syria during the conflict. Well known former politicians and military personnel are speaking out the truth. I have a lot of info too much to tell here. This Al Jeezera lied about the proxy war of Syria.
You do an amazing job breaking down the issues. Thank you!
I am Syrian and I live in Aleppo. Living here is very difficult. We demand human rights. where are they? Many children died. Where is humanity, oh world ):

Hey Sandra, Please make the next Start Here on the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue a.k.a QUAD. It seems to be the hottest topic in geopolitics presently.
Well Quad is a group of four largest anti-China countries.
But doesn't seem like they haven't done anything significant yet. 🤷♂️
Well Quad isnt an alliance yet. Apparently USA though not only conduct fonops with china but india and japan too (curiously skipping australia n new zealand)
Of COURSE I thought this could still be going on 10 years later. How naïve do you have to be - this is the Middle East!! Lebanon will likely follow in Syria's footsteps, if they haven't already.
