The Basic Facts
Syria is a country bordering the Mediterranean Sea and
is considered part of the Middle East.
Syria’s climate is mostly desert, and their economy is founded on: agriculture, oil,
businesses, and tourism.
Syria is roughly the size of the
state of Missouri and is home to over
20 million people.
السورية العربية الجمهورية al-Jumhūrīyah al-‘Arabīyah as-Sūrīyah
In Syria, the majority of the people speak Arabic. The official name of
the country is the Syrian Arab Republic.
Syria has many historic landmarks. Many of the country’s beautiful cities
are centuries old.
Recent History
Since 2000, Syria has been
ruled by President Bashar
al-Assad.
His rule has been
autocratic, meaning
governed by one person, without any democracy.
Since 2011, the Syrian
people have protested
against him, demanding their
basic human rights.
Their revolt has been part of a movement for freedom in the
Middle East known as the Arab Spring.
The Arab Spring is a pan-Arab movement, meaning that it stretches across the Arab countries of the Middle East.
The Arab Spring started in the country of Tunisia. Soon afterwards, other Arab countries also rebelled against autocratic leaders, demanding democracy and a better standard of living.
The Rebellion
The revolt in Syria was started by
students who wrote
anti-government graffiti on the
walls of their city.
Assad’s forces struck back, attempting to crush the
rebellion with brutal force.
It didn’t work.
Over 60,000 Syrians have been killed in the past
two years, in what became a fierce civil war between the
opposition and the government.
Over 590,000 people have
been forced to flee to refugee
camps in neighboring countries.

The World’s Reaction
The United Nations is based in New York City. This organization includes representatives from
countries all over the world who work together to keep peace around the globe. Their role is to
promote and protect human rights.
The U.S. and other countries have tried to work within the
United Nations to find a
peaceful solution in Syria.
But China, Russia, and Iran have stood by the Assad regime.
They’ve blocked the U.N. from taking strong action.
Right now it is unclear how long Assad will remain in power. The United States says he must go.
The U.N. has implemented sanctions on
Syria – economic penalties that target Assad’s bank account.
Why Syria Matters
The Syrian uprising started as a push for freedom and
democracy—values we share. The United States
has its own history fighting tyranny
in the American Revolution.
The Boston Massacre, 1770
History has also shown that
oppression often spreads to other countries if it is
not stopped.
Nazi invasion of Poland, 1939
We exist as one
interconnected global community.
What affects one person often
affects us all.
