Syria war: Why is there fighting in Syria?
What began as a peaceful uprising against Syria's President Bashar al-Assad five years ago became a full-scale civil war that has left more than 250,000 people dead, devastated the country and drawn in global powers.
Why is there a war in Syria?
Long before the conflict began, many Syrians complained about high unemployment, widespread corruption, a lack of political freedom, and a state repression under President Bashar al-Assad, who succeeded his father, Hafez, in 2000.
In March 2011, pro-democracy demonstrations inspired by the Arab Spring erupted in the southern city of Deraa. The government's use of deadly force to crush the dissent soon triggered nationwide protests demanding the president's resignation.
As the unrest spread, the crackdown intensified. Opposition supporters began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and later to expel security forces from their local areas. Mr Assad vowed to crush "foreign-backed terrorism" and restore state control.
The violence rapidly escalated and the country descended into civil war as hundreds of rebel brigades were formed to battle government forces for control of the country.

Immigrants and refugees are the serious problems.Syria war is also a complex problems as well.This is result from the whole religion problems in middle east and tribal culture.The government should think a better solution to deal with these problems.
回覆刪除It's a serious problem for the whole world. I think people around the world should work together to fight against the terrorism. It should not be allowed existing in the world. Those people who are injured by the terrorist in those areas are very poor. Wish there will be more establishment for those victims.
