هذا هو مشروع بلدي سوريا

 Country in Western Asia  Bordered by Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and the Mediterranean Sea  Capital City = Damascus  Built on site of numerous ancient empires

 President of Syria since 2000 (has run unopposed each time)  Leader of the Ba’ath Party  Heir to his father’s 29 year rule of Syria  Noted disregard for human rights/corruption  Harsh critic of US and Israel

 Beginning in March 2011, outbreak of “anti-regime” protests in Syria  Protests in Damascus (mostly focused in outskirts of city)  Syrian Revolution Coordinators Union + Free Syrian Army  Revolters = Young, Middle Class [Mostly Male] Citizens  Majority = Sunni Muslims  “Working classes against elite”

 Protests met with violent government suppression  Notable Examples: 1. Shooting of protestors in Dara’a 2. Hospitalizing of popular political cartoonist Ali Ferzat 3. Bombing of known protestor city(s)

 Limited US involvement 1. Withdrawal of Ambassador Robert Ford from Syria  Increasing isolation from European countries + trading partners (Turkey, etc.)

 Began with protests (similar to boycotts, etc.)  Sparked by want for change/democracy  Similar government suppression (parallels with Boston Massacre)  Male-led  Foreign support for cause  Importance of communication (Committees of Correspondence vs. Social Networking)  Economic hardship  Division between those for vs. thos against  Suppression of rights  Rise of regional groups ( i.e. SRCU + FSA vs. local militias)

 Britain ruled from afar, Syrian revolution vs. President/local leaders  New technology ―› more devastating consequences  Syria = yet to develop into complete armed conflict  Syria = lack of well-known revolutionary leaders (much more secretive)  No uniform, revolutionary force yet in Syria

 Like other Middle Eastern countries (Egypt, Libya, etc.) a distinct Syrian revolutionary force will rise + overthrow Al- Assad  US Involvement imminent  Est. of a democratic government?  However, economic hardship + isolation from other nations may ―› corruption should a new regime be put in place
