ow it seems as though this
term has been floating on
one too many headlines in just the past few years. "Economic Crisis", "Financial Crisis", "Housing Crisis", and even a "Midlife Crisis". Its repeatedness has diminished the true and actual urgency of its intended meaning. So this begs to ask the question: Is "crisis" really an appropriate label with all that Syria is going through? Let's evaluate.
First off, this "crisis" has already been officially tagged as a "civil war" within the raging groups of Syria. And no, this isn't some recent uprising from just a few months back. This civil war dates back to two years ago, in 2011, with the Ba'at government and those against it clashing time and time again. As early as April, 2011, the Syrian Army was already deployed. Negotiations hardly ever came up and both sides have always resorted to arms and weaponry. One of the more common instances included the usage of chemical weapons. Both parties have been accused of these hazardous attack, yet both have denied and even pinned the blame on each other. Explosions turned up with no forwarning from either groups, whether cluster bombs or deadly misslie attacks. Unfortunately, more than these, what remained frequent were incidents of suicide bombings. Beginning on December 2011, these attacks have mainly targeted government officials. But of course, bombs don't choose who to wipe out. A great number of innocent, civillian lives have been taken as a result of this. But what is truly horrifying is the fact that the Syrian Army have already prepared 8,000 soldiers for suicide bombings against the opposition. Incidents such as these have eventually led other nations to step in and try to control such savagery and atrocity caused by the conflicting forces.
These don't even try to encompass the entirety of all the crime and abomination taking place in Syria. The only thing worse than all this is that conditions indicate no sign of improvement. Syria is in a downward spiral. If things go the way they are, the devastation can be endless and, eventually, unbearable. And by that point, the term "crisis" wil shrink in insignificance to the unimaginable state of the Syrian nation and people.
