THE SYRIAN CONFLICT.
The secular Ba'ath Syrian Regional Branch of government came to power after a coup d'état in 1963. For many years Syria had gone through additional coups with many changes of leadership.
However, in March 1971, Hafez al-Assad, an Alawite, declared himself as President. The secular Syrian Regional Branch remained a dominant political authority, creating a one-party state, until the first multi-party election to the People's Council of Syria which was held in 2012. On the 31st of January 1973, Hafez al-Assad implemented a new constitution, which in turn led to a national crisis.
Unlike any previous constitutions, this one allowed a president of Syria to be a None-Muslim, which lead to fierce demonstrations in Hama, Homs and Aleppo. These were organized by the Muslim Brotherhood and the ulama. The government still managed to survive the series of armed revolts by Islamists, whom mainly consisted of Muslim Brotherhood members, from 1976 to 1982.
Wars are mindless.
After Hafez al-Assad died in 2000, Bashar al-Assad (his son), was elected President of Syria. Bashar and his wife Asma, a Sunni Muslim born and educated in Britain, initially inspired hope for democratic reforms. However, according to his critics, Bashar failed to deliver any reforms. In 2017 president Al-Assad claimed that no moderate opposition to his rule existed, and that all opposition forces were jihadists with intentions of destroying his secular leadership. In his view terrorist groups operating in Syria were all linked to the agendas of foreign countries.
Human rights in Syria have long been a subject of harsh critique from global organizations. The rights of free expression, association and assembly were strictly controlled well before the uprising. The country went under emergency rule from 1963 until 2011 and any public gatherings of more than five people were banned. Security forces had the power of arrest and detention for any infringements. By 2000 any hope of democratic change or improvements of human rights by Bashar al-Assad was widely reported to have failed.
The gun rules.
In February 2011 several small demonstrations were held in Syria asking for reform and demonstrating solidarity with pro-democracy protesters in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya. The Syrian security forces contained these demonstrations, and made a number of arrests.
By March the 24th 2011, dozens of protesters were killed by security forces opening fire on a demonstration in Darʿā.
Lives destroyed.

So many innocent people killed, displaced, homeless, and running for their lives. Orphaned children, with no-one to help them, but the charities.
Those same people are still out there, homeless, desperate, and needing your help.
