The Syrian Revolution They’re syrious. Katie Hinders – 6 th period

Syria is a country in Western Asia, bordering Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the West, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south, and Israel to the southwest.

POPULATION The population of Syria is 74% Sunni Muslim, with a 13% Shia Muslimpopulation, 10% Christian and 3% Druze. Combined, some 90% of the Syrian population is Muslim, which largely includes Arabs and significant minorities of Kurds and Circassians, while some 10% are Christians, which mainly includes ethnic Assyrians, but also Arab Christians and Armenians. The ethnic minorities include Kurdish (10%), Assyrian/Syriac, Armenian, Turkmen and Circassian populations, while the majority is Arab (90%).

LEADERS President Bashar al-Assad- has been president of Syria for 11 years; accused of violating human rights The Syrian uprising has no defined leader but is comprised of mostly Syrian men

Syrian Revolution VS American Revolution SIMILARITES The revolutionaries want to overthrow the current ruling powers The ruling power violated the rights of the people (the rights that they had, or thought they had)

Syrian Revolution VS American Revolution DIFFERENCES The Syrians are rebelling against their own government and president who they elected (though he ran unopposed) The colonists were rebelling against a government they had no say in (taxation without representation)

WHERE IS SYRIA GOING? The Syrian revolutionaries will have to step it up in order to make a real difference. Their protests haven’t caught the attention needed to make a real difference. The Free Syrian Army could change the tide for the revolutionaries there.
