In 1958, Syria entered into a brief union with Egypt called the United Arab Republic, which was lapsed by the 1961 Syrian coup d’état.Īfter a constitutional amendment in late 1961, the republic was renamed the Syrian Arab Republic and became a unitary republic. In Arabic, Syria, also known as Al-Sham, is home to some of the oldest, most civilised, diverse ethnic groups and religious denominations such as the Syrian Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, Assyrians, Circassians, Armenians, Greeks and Mandaeans, with Arabs being the largest ethnic group and only a few years ago, was consistently featured as a tourist hotspot in various international travel magazines and now images of a war-torn country fill the news. Its capital city of Damascus and another city Aleppo feature in the list of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. Syria emerged as a parliamentary republic in 1945 when the Republic became a founding member of the UN which brought to climax to the French mandate, prior to which the region was under centuries of Ottoman rule. The post-independence period was tumultuous, with many military coups shaking the country. Then also many of us are unaware of facts like how and when did this destruction begin? What are the impacts of this conflict? But before getting into the crux of this topic, we should also know more about the country Syria. Many of us got aware of these conflicts through social media such as the protests organized on Facebook which changed to a hardcore militant war between the Assad regime and anti-Assad regime. These conflict years had demanded more than 130,000 lives and Syria’s breath-taking historical and cultural heritage. Without any doubt, Syria was in a state of internal crisis for a very long period and this conflict is between the Syrian army and the rebel groups composed of many heterogeneous branches. The war always claimed heavy price on every person who were involved in it and one of such suffering country is Syria. In an age of bombs guzzling blood, skylarks merge peace with thought and action.
