Syria enters into a civil war

Syria’s civil war

The debate of if or not Syria is actually involved in a civil war has been established. Based on the U.N. peacekeeping chief, Herve Ladsous. According to him “Syria is in a civil war”.

Problems began for Syria in March of 2011 as protesters started to speak out concerning the oppressive government which has ruled for decades. The government commenced placing a limit on the peaceful protesters, which took an unfavorable turn and created a governmental uprising.

What started out as an uprising changed into a civil war. The Free Syrian Army and its organization of their armed rebellion against the government met most of the qualifying criterion of a civil war, which is defined as an armed conflict inside a region between organized groups who are battling to control the central government or over power over a region. It genuinely does not really make a difference just how much of the country is at unrest for it to be considered a civil war. With this situation happening a little over a year following the problems began in March 2011, it can be stated that this war launched much earlier than the U.N peacemakers led us to think.

There have been rumors that there is some assistance originating from Russia. These reports say that Russia is in fact supporting the Syrian government in this particular war, but Syria’s government is denying that they are in fact in a civil war. Saying that they are in a civil war no longer allows them to claim that they're simply a sectarian conflict or that it is a terrorist struggle against the people in Syria. What they are saying regarding the situation is there is at it is an armed attempt by non-state groups to overthrow the government and to fight for territorial control. As well as the rebel groups, there have also been sectarian tensions between the Sunnis and the Alawites, with the opposition overwhelmingly Sunni and the pro-government Alawites, who dominate the regime of Bashar al-Assad, also an Alawite. As anxieties of food shortages are on the increase many think that the few food supplies they have could soon be depleted.

Labeling a conflict a civil war also shifts the dynamics of the problem and it might have political implications. Survival supplies have evaporated over the past year and as this takes place the everyday person could become more violent. This may cause the rise of need on the policy makers to do something so swiftly they will circumvent crucial ways to deal with the specific conflict. Once there are situations where violence is targeted at civilians, then you will see the hope for U.S. participation however at this stage it would appear that outside countries will only help in less opinionated methods like supplying food rations.
