Conflict in Syria



A massive explosion blasted across the border between Syria and Turkish killing 13people and wounding dozens.Government officials won’t call it a terrorist attack but the aftermath of the explosion as told by bystanders that it looked like hell with burning cars, lots of injured panicking people. Some claim  that Turkey has been at war with  Syria for the past 22months.This nightmare  for both countries started with a suicide bomber attack at the entrance to the U.S. Embassy in Turkey's capital  Ankara, killing a  guard because they felt like the US was trying to colonize Turkey and Syria. Since then war on war has occurred in Syria as the largest rebel group who may have ties with AL Qaeda, has captured Syria's largest man-made dam.  The dam houses a hydroelectric power station and could drown the town if things clash. Syrian rebels have taken control and detain positions that once belong to Syrian security forces.

I picked this article because I believe war is a crime. These rebel groups are violating the laws and killing citizens of their own country for power and to destroy the world. War is pain and Turkey and Syria are suffering from this horrific violence that’s ongoing. This war has gotten so deadly that people are escaping to Jordan to stay at refugee camps for security.From sources I have read and seen on TV people are suffering from winter conditions and are facing further hardships like starvation of food; they also feel abounded by the international community. This conflict of crime in Syria seems like an attack for territorial and political reforms. The government officials need to get a handle on the Syrian rebels to get them out of war zone and restore their country image and citizens with a peaceful living.
