This document summarizes the Syrian civil war and its effects. It provides background on Syria's geography, population demographics, and political leadership. It then describes the reasons for and beginnings of the 2011 uprising against President Assad. The conflict has descended into a complex war involving various rebel groups fighting government forces and other militias. The war has had devastating human and economic costs for Syria, including over 220,000 deaths and millions of refugees fleeing to neighboring countries and Europe. Key effects discussed are the humanitarian crisis, spread of diseases, millions of children missing school, a collapsed economy, and Syria becoming a "living hell" for its people.
The document summarizes the key parties in the ongoing Syrian civil war. It outlines that the war began in 2011 as popular protests against President Bashar al-Assad and Ba'ath party rule. It then describes the main factions supporting the Syrian government and opposition forces.
The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 with anti-government protests against President Bashar al-Assad before escalating into a full-scale civil war. Over 450,000 Syrians have been killed and more than 11 million displaced as forces loyal to Assad battle opposition groups. The war involves four overlapping conflicts between Assad and opposition forces, Syria's Kurdish minority, the Islamic State, and foreign countries intervening to support various factions. Six years after protests began, the war continues with no end in sight as the humanitarian crisis worsens.
Ottoman rule over Syria ended in 1918 and Emir Feisal briefly ruled as King of Syria until 1920 when France took control under a mandate. French rule faced nationalist uprisings and protests for independence which Syria achieved in 1946. However, political instability continued and Hafez al-Assad seized power in 1970, establishing an authoritarian Ba'athist regime that favored the Alawite minority. When Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000, he initially allowed some reforms but soon returned to the repressive status quo. Anti-government protests in 2011 demanding democratic change and end to emergency law sparked a violent crackdown and eventual civil war as the opposition took up arms.
1) The Syrian civil war began in 2011 with peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, which responded with violent crackdowns.
2) The war has led to over 5 million Syrian refugees fleeing to neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq, overwhelming their infrastructure and economies.
3) The prolonged conflict has also severely damaged Syria's economy, reducing GDP by over 80% and increasing public debt from 23% to 40% of GDP. It has cost over $48 billion in infrastructure losses.
The document provides an overview of the ongoing conflict in Syria since 2011. It began as pro-democracy protests against President Bashar al-Assad but escalated into a civil war. Many Syrians were dissatisfied with high unemployment, corruption, lack of freedoms, and repression under Assad. The conflict has drawn involvement from international actors supporting either the Assad regime or rebel groups. Over 450,000 people have been killed and millions displaced as fighting continues between government forces, rebels, and terrorist organizations. Efforts to restore peace have been unsuccessful so far.
Syrian civil war: Impact on Global Peace and Stability Sajid Karim
The document summarizes the key impacts and implications of the ongoing Syrian civil war. At the national level, the war has devastated Syria and its people, resulting in over 470,000 deaths, over half the population being displaced, severe damage to infrastructure and the economy. Regionally, the war has increased tensions and the refugee crisis has financially and security burdened neighboring countries. Globally, the political vacuum has increased Russian influence, the refugee crisis is one of the largest since WWII, and the rise of extremist groups impacts global security. For Bangladesh, instability in the Middle East poses challenges but also opportunities for post-conflict reconstruction.
The document provides a history of Syria from the Ottoman Empire to modern day. It discusses how Syria became independent from France in 1946 after being a League of Nations mandate and French occupation from 1920-1946. The document then outlines the rule of Hafez al-Assad from 1970-2000 and his son Bashar al-Assad from 2000 onward. It discusses the start of the Syrian Civil War in 2011 and the UN Security Council's involvement, including resolutions passed in 2012-2014 to establish ceasefires and allow humanitarian aid access despite lack of compliance. Statistics from 2014 show over 76,000 Syrians killed that year and millions in need of humanitarian assistance.

The document summarizes the ongoing conflict in Syria, which began in 2011 as protests against President Bashar al-Assad but escalated into a civil war involving multiple factions. It notes that over half of Syria's pre-war population has been displaced and the country is engulfed in violence. International powers like the US, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela have intervened in the conflict in support of various sides. Peace plans and humanitarian aid efforts have so far failed to resolve the crisis, which remains ongoing after over 5 years.
More than 200,000 Syrians have lost their lives in four years of armed conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war. More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from Islamic State.
Management of over 4 million refugees is in itself a great challenge and is likely to affect world economy.
The document summarizes the key issues fueling the ongoing Syrian Civil War:
1) Authoritarian rule under President Bashar al-Assad has led to discontent and uprising against his regime as he has made promises of reform but enacted none.
2) Ethnic and religious tensions between Sunni and Shia populations have been exacerbated by the conflict.
3) Various external powers including Russia, Iran, the US, and Gulf states have intervened and supported opposing sides, complicating efforts for peace.
4) Terrorist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda have exploited the instability to gain territory and influence.
This PowerPoint presentation describes, in a nutshell, the Syrian crisis. This was my first PowerPoint presentation which I along with my team members presented to the English professor.

The Somali Civil War began in 1991 when President Said Barre was overthrown, leaving the country in a state of power struggle between rival clans and groups. The conflict has caused destabilization and instability, with the Somali government losing control of much of the state to rebel forces. International aid and UN peacekeepers intervened in the 1990s to address a famine, but one clan leader obstructed relief efforts, drawing the US into the conflict. Though a coalition government now exists, civil war and lawlessness continue as instability persists.
The Iran-Iraq war lasted from 1980 to 1988 and was fought between Iran led by Khomeini and Iraq led by Saddam Hussein. It began when Iraq invaded Tehran by air with MiG-23s and MiG-21s after border skirmishes erupted near Qasr-e Shirin in September 1980. The war caused enormous economic, military, and social problems for both countries and nearly 300,000 Iranians and 375,000 Iraqis were killed or taken prisoner before a 1988 ceasefire. The war had no clear victor and both sides suffered greatly as a result of the almost 9 years of total conventional warfare.
The document discusses the ongoing Syrian civil war and reasons for the conflict. It describes the main parties involved including Bashar al-Assad, various rebel and opposition groups, and the roles of Saudi Arabia and Iran's rivalry in the war. It also outlines the dire humanitarian crisis caused by the war, with over 4.5 million refugees and millions more internally displaced inside Syria living in difficult conditions.
The conflict in Darfur began in 2003 when two non-Arab rebel groups took up arms against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government to protest mistreatment. This led the government to carry out aerial bombings and arm Arab militias called the Janjaweed to attack non-Arab villages. Over 200,000 people have been killed so far and over 1.5 million displaced from their homes as the government and Janjaweed use scorched earth tactics, causing starvation, disease and violence. The UN and US provide most of the humanitarian aid but more action is still needed to address the ongoing crisis.

It notes that the Arab world consists of 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa, while the Muslim world has 55 member states, and only Egypt is an Arab country among the top 10 countries by Muslim population. Most Arabs are Muslim, but most Muslims are not Arab. There are also Christian and Jewish Arabs.
The document provides definitions and history related to war and military strategy. It discusses:
1) Definitions of war from various scholars and sources that describe war as armed conflict between nations or parties.
2) Key aspects of military strategy including distinguishing between strategy, which deals with long-term objectives, and tactics, which focuses on short-term maneuvers. Grand strategy considers achieving national goals beyond just war.
3) Instruments of national power a country can use including its military, diplomacy, economic power, and resolve. War is fought at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels.
The Role of Zionist Movement Towards the Creation of the State of Israelislamicjerusalem
This document summarizes the emergence and role of the Zionist movement in establishing the state of Israel. It discusses how the Zionist movement, founded by Theodor Herzl in 1896, lobbied world powers like Britain and the US to support establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Through population growth and political efforts, the Zionist movement helped create the conditions for Israel to be founded as a nation state for Jewish people in 1948, displacing much of the native Palestinian population in the process.
The document discusses the Arab Spring uprisings that began in late 2010 and 2011 across several Middle Eastern and North African countries. Key events and causes discussed include:
- Widespread protests in Egypt led to the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011 after 18 days of demonstrations against corruption, unemployment, and censorship.
- In Libya, civil war broke out as rebel groups fought against Gaddafi's regime, resulting in NATO intervention and Gaddafi's death by October 2011.
- Syria experienced brutal government repression of protests demanding democratic reforms, with thousands of civilian deaths as the conflict escalated.
- Bahrain saw protests crushed by government forces with the help of Saudi troops, drawing international criticism of Western in
The Arab Spring is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both non-violent and violent), riots, and civil wars in the Arab world that began on 18 December 2010 and spread throughout the countries of the Arab League and surroundings.
This document provides a summary of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the aftermath of World War 1 through the 2000s. It describes how the Ottoman Empire lost control of the Middle East after WWI and European powers divided the land. In 1947, the UN proposed dividing Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, but Arabs rejected the plan. Despite Arab opposition, Israel declared statehood in 1948 and defended itself during the subsequent war, expanding its territory. Ongoing tensions included the 1967 Six-Day War and 1973 Yom Kippur War. Some peace efforts occurred in the late 1970s and 1990s, but violence between Israel and Palestinian groups like Hamas and Hezbollah continued through the 2000s.
Presentation on the events leading up to WWI, the war itself, and the peace settlement afterwards. Also included is the Russian Revolution, the disposal of the Romanov and the rise of Lenin and the Bolshevik.
The Arab Spring uprisings successfully removed long-standing dictators in some countries like Tunisia and Egypt, but also led to instability, violence, and civil wars in countries like Libya, Yemen, and Syria. While the removal of corrupt leaders was initially hopeful, the uprisings unearthed deep religious and political divisions in societies and unstable transitional governments failed to establish democracy. Ongoing conflicts have negatively impacted economies and deterred investment. The uprisings also altered regional powers like Iran, Qatar, and Turkey's roles and geopolitical influence.
Yemen has been devastated by a war between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to the Yemeni government since 2015. Over 7,600 people have been killed and 42,000 injured in the ongoing conflict, which has triggered a major humanitarian crisis leaving 70% of Yemen's population of 24 million in need of aid. The capital and largest city is Sanaa, and Islam is the dominant religion, though there are small Christian and Jewish populations.
This document discusses the location and demographics of Syria. It notes that Syria borders Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, and Israel. It provides statistics on Syrian households during the ongoing conflict, such as 50% of family members being children under 18, 34% of households having no income, and 72% of households being in debt. It also outlines that the conflict began in 2011 and involved protesters demanding changes to presidential leadership and an end to over four decades of one-party rule.
The document discusses the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis. It began in 2011 with citizens seeking economic rights, which escalated into a civil war involving foreign powers. As conditions deteriorated, many Syrians fled the country to escape the deadly conflict. The document presents images showing Syrian refugee children arriving at borders and being visited by Angelina Jolie. It suggests ways to help refugees such as donating supplies, acknowledging their plight, and supporting aid organizations working in Syria.

Syria is a Middle Eastern country located between Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Lebanon. It has a population of about 23 million people who are predominantly Sunni Muslim, along with religious minority groups like Shia, Druze and Alawite Muslims. Syria has a diverse history of being conquered by various empires and gained independence from France in 1946. The current regime is led by President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has ruled the country since 1970. In 2011, protests erupted against Assad's rule but escalated into an ongoing civil war between government forces and various rebel groups composed of dissidents, with over 60,000 deaths in the first 18 months of conflict.
The document summarizes the Syrian uprising that began in March 2011 as part of the larger Arab Spring movement. Protests were sparked by the authoritarian government, lack of democracy, and economic issues. The goals of the uprising included resigning President Bashar al-Assad and implementing democratic reforms. The Syrian government responded to the protests with violent crackdowns, deploying tanks, snipers, and shutting off utilities. The UN and many countries condemned the Syrian government's violent actions against protesters.
Syria is located in the Middle East, with an area of 185,180 square km and a population of around 20 million people. Some important historical and religious sites in Syria include the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, one of the oldest and largest mosques in the world built in 705 AD; Maaloula, the only place where Aramaic is still spoken; and the ancient city of Ugarit, where the first alphabet was developed. Syria has a long and rich history and is home to many cultural and religious symbols.
4.1 million Syrians are fleeing the civil war in their homeland and seeking asylum in places like Germany, which expects to receive 800,000 asylum applications this year and take in 500,000 refugees annually for the next several years. The humanitarian crisis has impacted 7.5 million Syrian children inside and outside the country, with over 2 million living as refugees in neighboring countries and 2.6 million no longer attending school.
The document discusses the Syrian refugee crisis and its impact on Europe. Some key points:
- Millions of Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries like Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan due to the ongoing conflict in Syria. Turkey hosts over 3 million Syrian refugees.
- The refugee crisis has significantly impacted parts of Europe as well, with over 500,000 Syrian refugees seeking asylum in European countries. However, European responses have been divided, with some countries more welcoming than others.
- Germany stood out for its welcoming approach in 2015 by accepting over 1 million refugees, but concerns remain over social and economic impacts, security risks, and difficulties with integration and cultural differences.
Problems of Muslim Ummah and its soulution ( Aalime Islam k msail or un ka Hal )Vicky Risky
The document discusses ways for media professionals to promote unity among Muslims. It suggests assessing the need for unity, anticipating the effects of promoting unity, and reflecting on how to spread related information to achieve desired results. Specifically, it recommends publishing content daily about unity, inviting scholars to talk shows, arranging seminars on unity, and overcoming linguistic and regional differences among Muslims. The goal is to spread Islam, not sectarianism, and follow the consensus of Islamic scholars.
Skye Fitzgerald: Understanding The Syrian Civil WarSkye Fitzgerald
Before the Syrian Civil War began, Aleppo was Syria's largest city, but much of it has now been destroyed. Over 151,000 people have died in the war since 2011, when protests against President Assad's authoritarian rule led to a violent crackdown and civil war. The battle of Aleppo has been particularly bloody, with both government and rebel forces indiscriminately targeting civilians using barrel bombs and hell cannons. The UN Secretary General has called Aleppo "a synonym for hell" due to the violence and destruction that has left thousands dead and much of the city in ruins.
Save Somalia: Humanitarian And Refugee Crisisigstan
The document summarizes the humanitarian and refugee crisis in Somalia. Over 17 years of conflict, drought, and lack of infrastructure have led to famine, disease, and over 1 million deaths. Somalia is experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa, with extreme poverty, malnutrition, lack of access to education, water and healthcare. There are over 250,000 Somali refugees in overcrowded camps in Kenya and the situation is continuing to deteriorate. The campaign aims to raise awareness and support for addressing the crisis.
Race Relations and the Early Civil Rights MovementCoachPinto
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, southern states like Georgia legally enforced racial segregation and passed Jim Crow laws requiring separation of public facilities for blacks and whites. The 1896 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the constitutionality of segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois disagreed on the approach to gaining equality, with Washington advocating for black economic empowerment through vocational skills and Du Bois pushing for full civil rights and education. Despite legal protections, southern states used intimidation, violence, and discriminatory voting laws to prevent blacks from exercising their civil rights.
The document discusses how the social construction of race in America has disadvantaged African American musicians throughout history. It describes how black music genres like blues, jazz, rock and roll, and hip hop originated but were popularized and profited from by white artists. The social and institutional discrimination faced by black artists is discussed, including how their success is often contingent on conforming to stereotypical depictions of black masculinity. The immense influence of black music on American culture is noted, despite lack of proper recognition or ability to attain social mobility due to the impact of race relations and white privilege throughout history.
The Gulf War I began in August 1990 when Iraq declared war on Kuwait due to decreasing oil prices and Iraq's financial crisis. In January 1991, a U.N.-authorized coalition force led by the United States defeated Iraq in Kuwait within 100 hours, resulting in up to 100,000 Iraqi soldier deaths. The Gulf War I officially ended on February 28, 1991 and marked the beginning of long-term U.S. military involvement in the Middle East.
Problems faced by muslims during partitionUmair Liaqat
This document outlines the initial problems faced by Pakistan after its independence in 1947. It discusses 11 major problems: 1) choosing a capital and establishing a government; 2) an unfair boundary distribution; 3) massacres of Muslim refugees in India; 4) the division of military and financial assets; 5) canal water disputes; 6) the Kashmir dispute; 7) constitutional issues; 8) the annexation of princely states; 9) economic problems; 10) administrative challenges; and 11) electricity issues.

The muslim world and its problem in 21st centuryvhjgvhjHaseeb Hassan
The document discusses several problems facing the Muslim world in the 21st century, including:
1. Weak defense capabilities due to low education levels and lack of science/technology development, leaving Muslim countries dependent on the West for defense.
2. Low education spending and poor economic outcomes like per capita income and GDP share, despite natural resource wealth, due to over-reliance on foreign loans and debt.
3. Lack of unity within the Muslim world, divided along national lines instead of recognizing their shared religious identity, weakening their global influence and power.
4. External threats like the growing influence of Western culture and globalization that spread non-Islamic social and economic systems throughout Muslim lands
