Diagnosin The Severity of The Syrian Conflict According to Michael S. Lund

Abstract

The Syrian crisis is closely related to regional and international causes, although the factors that led to the activation of the current crisis are rooted in institutional slack that has marginalized large sectors of society, depriving them of effectively participating in political, economic and social life. There are also structural imbalances in the economic sector, and we also find an institutional imbalance represented in the weakness of political participation. We cannot ignore the security reasons that played a major role in igniting the Syrian situation and its crisis.

The Syrian crisis did not leave any opportunity for any segment of the Syrian society to find a few reasons for comfort and stability, as waves of displaced people are now crossing the borders of neighboring countries, and living in tragic conditions, and the killing machine is chasing them everywhere after their homes were destroyed, and in addition to that, ethnic cleansing has begun. It is taking place in several governorates in Syria, and with the increase in violence, civilians have fled from one place to another in search of safety for themselves, their children and the elderly, and their lives have become limited to waiting for humanitarian aid, including food and milk for their children. These events were not the result of chance, but came as a result of the accumulation of practices of several decades.
