Part 1/4:

The Ongoing Struggle of the Syrian People

The plight of the Syrian people has been overshadowed by more recent global events, yet their struggle remains critical to understand as it exemplifies the devastating effects of prolonged conflict and authoritarian governance. The Syrian civil war, which has now persisted for over 13 years, has left an indelible mark on the nation and its citizens.

A Long History of Suffering

For much of their recent history, Syrians have endured not only an armed conflict but also decades of oppressive rule under the Assad regime. The systemic repression has fostered an environment where dissent is met with brutal force. As a result, the war has further exacerbated these existing challenges, creating an even more complex humanitarian crisis.
