It is disheartening that more than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives while more than 10 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from the Islamic State, in the five-and-a-half years of armed conflict, which began with anti-govt protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war.
It is hypothetical that the United States and Russia reached a 'backdoor agreement' to take their battle for power and supremacy to Syria, with Russia supporting the Assad govt and the US supporting Anti-Assad forces - formed in March 2011 after the Assad govt use of force to crush the dissent protesters.
By July 2011, hundreds of thousands were taking to the streets across the country to protest the arrest and torture of some teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on a school wall and also demand President Assad's resignation. Afterwards, opposition supporters eventually began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and later to expel security forces from their local areas.
Today, Russia is faced with mounting pressure to abandon the Assad led Syrian government and with a threat that Russian officers could face sanctions. Either ways, the Trump led govt is considering carrying out further strikes on Syria, because the Pentagon suspects chemical weapons are still in the Syrian air base.
The civil war in Syria has left over 108 million people in extreme starvation, over 50 million people malnourished, lead to death of over 250,000 people. Even at that, President Trump considered a cut in foreign aid to troubled nations like Syria and others. Indeed, this is inhumanity at its peak – America can not be exonerated from the blames. No doubt, the Syrian civil war is the deadliest conflict the 21st century has witnessed thus far.
The Trump government claimed that he ordered a cruise missile strike against Syria in retaliation for the chemical attack by Pres. Bashar al-Assad led government on civilians, but some observers hold a different view, saying it is a fight for the soul of Syria, between the US and Russia.
In the face of the storm and following Friday's cruise missile attack on Syria, the trio of Russia, Iran and Lebanon (Hezbolla) has reaffirmed their support for the Bashar al-Assad led Syrian government and have warned the US, saying they will “RESPOND WITH FORCE” if their own “RED LINES” are crossed in Syria.
For America and its allies, getting Assad out of power is not only a priority but a task they have considered non-negotiable. While Iran has been fighting what it calls US hegemony for over four decades, unfortunately, the world has turned its back at the ongoing inhumanity and civil war in Syria.
You still don't understand what is going on in Syria or How the civil war started? Then, read this update again.
