Down Goes Syria

The Syrian Civil War is an enduring problem between the Syrians and their government. The Syrians feel that their President Bashar al-Assad is unjust. The people of Syria are being mistreated. They don’t receive the proper healthcare, housing, or water necessary needed to survive. This is cruel and unusual punishment towards the Syrians. Other countries need to step in and help protect the people of Syria. They need to help destroy the Syria government system they have and rebuild their system from the bottom. This would take time but it will be worth helping save the lives of the remaining citizens.

Due to the war there have been thousands of lives taken and many others suffer from injuries. The war is already destroying this country. If it continue then there would be nothing left. The people of Syria are now living in fear. They are afraid to step out their houses to go to work, to go to school or to even participate in any activities outdoors. This is torture. Imagine not being able to step out the house because you are afraid that you will die from the government. That’s harsh. How do they eat? Sleep? Or even live in such an environment.

Even though the citizens are afraid to step out doors. They did make it out one day to walk the streets of Syria holding a banner saying “Our peaceful revolution is still in process” and “A revolution is an idea, and ideas cannot be killed.” The people are saying that all the violence is unnecessary to control us, all we want is justice. I would agree because right now it sounds as if they are living like savages. Some of the things that are happening in their country reminds me of the US civil war and the holocaust. For instance, there have been orders to barrel bomb, airstrikes on hospitals, round-up and rape, torture and murder detainees.
