AFIA SULTANA NISHAT- 245 INTRODUCTION Syria crisis started as a part of Arab spring, Started on 15 march 2011.Its on going as a multi-sided armed conflict with international interventions.
The conflict gradually morphed from mass
protests an armed rebellion The Syria crisis is also termed as cold war, holy war, civil war , proxy war . Part of Arab-Spring Multi-Sided Conflict Crisis in Syria Bashar al Assad is ruling in Syria from 2000 . Geopolitically, Syria is an important state in Arab region . So when the crisis started in syria, interested states intervene to serve their interest The syria or the civil war in syria mainly the conflict between government loyalist forces vs free syrian army(asad groups vs rebellion group) The rebellion group are including al qaeda( al nusra front), talibans, fatah al islam, zunut al islam, hijbut tahrir, islamic fighting group in lybia and so on. Assad group is the government loyalist forces. Revolutionary guard force of iran joint to fight against rebellions. Syria crisis has made the whole state unstable.Million of people lost their life, half of them are civilian. People are being forced to leave their place.civilians are struggling to survive.almost 4 millions people have become refugees. Prisoners are getting free from prison to fight. Nine sunni militant organizations joined the rebellion group.they have different objectives- 1.repulse bashar al assad; 2.create islami khilafat; 3.serve western interest.
The rebellion forces got possession
on turkish border area, israeli border area and near kurdistan. On the iother hand loyalist forces are possessing aleppo, idlib, hama, homs. Mass Protest Supporters of Assad Group and rebellion Group Iran is strong supporter of Assad government .Russia, China ,Iran and Iraq are providing financial ,military and political support Bashar al Assad. Syria and Russia have some economic and geopolitical relation.Syria buys arms from Russia and Russia uses the tartous port of Syria to enter on gulf . By the request of Iran, Russia intervene in Syria in 2015. America and Israel are on the side of anti Assad group .America claimed it war against terrorism .France,Germany ,Italy, Turkey EU, Nato all are supporting free syrian army. “Syrian national coaliton” was built by their decision. Saudia Arabia has made billion dollars arms treaty with US against Syria . Several Rebellion Groups Several Rebellion Groups Will it be solved if Assad Quits?
• US & Israeli View
Will all the problems be solved if Assad quits? USA and Israel are seeking to put down Bashar al Assad from power . They want to dominate Syria . But it is not easy. Though five years have been passed but the long term crisis could not make Assad weak . USA wants to democratize Syria by uprooting the terrorist the war against Syria .Though the US intervene in Lybia and Iraq could not make them stable .Till now they are instable with lots of problems. If Basar al Assad had not supporters among the nation, It could become easy to put him down from power. The Assad is from minor alavi group but succeed to creat supporters all across the nation. • Another severe problem is IS. If Assad quit,IS will grab the whole Syria and terrorism will cross the limits.the situation will become more instable.
• Iran sends food ,medicine and other things in Palestine
through Syria border. Israel is against this .Israel wanted Syria on its side .Their next target is Iran , as Iran is the allied power of Palestine .
• If Assad quits , the US and Israel will be able to set up a
puppet govt. which will serve their interest. Sending help to Palestine will be stopped .Israel will grab the whole Palestine and become more strong .
• Bashar has brought some changes in the constitution
and started multiparty system .US wants election ,but only election can not bring democracy . Installation of Puppet Government Syria crisis: Created or originated? The role of the foreign countries is rising the question whether the crisis in Syria originated or created .As the foreign intervene did not settle down the problems rather prolonging the conflict . No western leader has spoken to Assad since the crisis began. Now US detectives predicts that IS are getting financial support and ammunitions from CIA in disguise of free syrian army . In the last two years more than seven thousand air attacks could not control the terrorists . On the other side Russia demolished some IS head quaters, training centers in one week .Also regained some cities which were under control of IS . There is a saying that instead of controlling the militants ,US is making them well armed to fight against Assad . Many western countries are now giving importance to controlling extreme Wahabism .But US and Russia’s only target is to control the Assad group and grab Syria . Assad’s Regime v/s Free Syrian Army Assad’s Regime Occupied Region Rebellion Occupied Refugee Crisis • 1)Western European support for refugees • 2)East European Opposition for refugees Refugee crisis The crisis in Syria creating a large number of refugees . They are taking shelter in neighbouring countries . Some European countries are also providing support . But refugees from Lybia ,Iraq and Afghanistan are also entering which creates pressure on economy. East European countries were not satisfied with the refugees.Now USA also getting rigid.
