The Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011, has led to widespread destruction and loss of life. Initially sparked by protests against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the conflict escalated into a full-scale civil war involving various factions, including government forces, rebel groups, Kurdish forces, and extremist groups like ISIS. Foreign powers, such as Russia and Iran supporting Assad, and the U.S. and Turkey backing various opposition groups, further complicated the conflict.
By 2024, the war had largely shifted in Rebels favor, with Assad and his government losing most of the country, although some areas remain under Kurdish or opposition control. A fragile ceasefire holds in many regions, but peace is tenuous. The war left over half a million dead, millions displaced, and devastated much of Syria's infrastructure. Reconstruction remains difficult, and the future of Syria's political landscape remains uncertain, with ongoing humanitarian crises and international tensions.As of now Assad and his wife has fled the country
