SYRIAN CIVIL WAR

The Extreme Violent Fight For Power Overpowers The World's Notion Of Peace


Millions of people have lost their lives since the beginning of Syrian insurgence. Over two million people have taken refuge in other countries. Today, even after three and a half years there seems to be a never ending struggle for power. What began as a rebel against the ruling government in one country, now adversely affects the entire world.

It all began in January 2011 with small protests. A little later though Damascus (Syria;s capital) and the city of Aleppo witnessed mass protests against the ruling Syrian government. The protests started with demand for democracy and lead to a huge outrage for the fallout of the Assad government.
Syria's Flag 2011

Syria was ruled by Hafez al Assad since 1971 until his death in 2000. After his death, his son - Bashar al - Assad, the present Syrian President took over. Although after the death of his father, when the people of Syria prepared for change, Bashar al-Assad inspired hopes for democratic reforms in the country. But, failed to take any actions towards it. Assad's neglection of reforms created resentment among the masses and they began to rebel. The Assad family belongs to a minority religious group of Shi'ite Islam, comprising about 12 per cent of the total population of Syria. Their tight controls were also a cause of rebel among the Sunni Muslims. After the initial protests and then widespread, the Syrian army started attacking on towns using heavy ammunitions, leading to deaths of hundreds including women and children. This became a major cause for the massive rebellion outbreak.

There are multiple rebellion groups against the Syrian government. The Syrian government also has a few allies as well. And more such violent forces are increasing there presence in Syria. In 2013, Hezbollah a Shi'a islamic militant group also entered the war. The various War groups are:-
*Syrian government & affiliated parties *Syrian Army *National Defense Force *Shabia *PFLP-FC *Hezbollah *Iran
Opposition - *Syrian National Council *Syrian National Coalition *Mujahideen *Al Nusra Front *ISIS *Free Syrian Army *Syrian Kurds *Sectarianism and minorities Satellite View of Syrian War

Lacs of innocent people have lost their lives in this ferocious political battle. Thousands have been held hostages. N has criticised all the fighting groups on humanitarian grounds. However no solution can be seen so far. Like a world citizen, I hope and pray for this bloody saga to end and peace to emerge.

I wish I could see a leader ...

Indian political system is devastated. The Congress Raj is coming to an end. Citizens aren't clear about the future. I don't foresee a great leader.

BJP- the next big political party is as controversial as the ruling one. They would need to revamp and come strong.

Huge corruption scandals- 2G, CWG and more...The dual citizenship of the Gandhi family. Gandhi dynasty holding all the power- not fair... Rahul Gandhi, another one in the line of wannabe prime minister of India... Priyanka Gandhi- Her husband- Robert Vadra - Became a billionaire just too soon- mysteriously lost all his close family members...

Rahul Ganhi- The Youth Icon- hid behind...when the whole nation was calling for him during the Anna Hazare movement.

Kapil Sibal, Digvijay Singh- Are just too cruel to be talked about... they were ruthless towards innocent people @ Ramlila Maidan... arrested Anna Hazare before he started his campaign.

!!!India Amidst Fiasco!!!

ITS'S ABOUT THE BALLOT PAPER!!!!

Well, being the part of Generation X.... like most of us I condemn, criticize the political system and politics of my country.........

According to me, Most of the or rather all the politicians are mercenary and are barely interested in the development of the nation......

While pursuing my graduation I heard from a professor of mine, that their is an option in the ballot paper which says that - if one doesn't like any of the political parties and need a change or new party in the system or formation of new government...one can mark or select that option.....

In the elections that were recently held in Delhi, I could not find that option on my ballot paper...

Vociferation Of An Au Courant Mind

We, Indians, are hurt and wounded. Agonized by the terror attacks in the country, Peolple are raising their voices against terrorism.
"!!!WAR!!!", They say is the solution....... But, is our country prepared for it?

Back then in 1960 we lost a war with China. The reason was our weak defense system and impecunious facilities to our armed forces. They were fighting the war in areas like Leh-Ladakh & didn't even had proper shoes to wear.... Due to the cold bad weather their skin was so damaged & no cure was available...... Food was not provided to them for days!!!!
Soon after this war, in 1965, our dear enemy Pakistan attacked us thinking that since we had already wasted our resources in ,that, war, it would be easier for them to defeat us................

However, now , ya, the scenario is different. The facilities proffered to armed forces are quiet better now but far from the best........

After this reality check I, don't feel India is prepared for war....
