Main Ideas behind the Conflict in Syria.
There is conflict in Syria because the people are fighting against the dictatorship of Assad who made it clear he wasn't interested in a democratic type government. The people of Syria were tired of cruel and unfair rule from their government leaders so they protested and rebelled in the streets. As a response, the Syrian military opened fire on the protesters or rebels. After this the Syrian rebels came back armed to fight against the military. The military showed no mercy and now there is an ongoing civil war between the rebels and the Syrian military. The civil war in Syria continues as we speak.
