Syrian civil war
Syrian civil war, also known as the Syrian Uprising (), or Syrian Crisis (), is an ongoing armed conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic. The conflict started in 2011 after the Syrian government, led by Bashar al-Assad, violently stopped pro-democracy demonstrations in the city of Daraa, resulting in a deathly struggle between the Syrian regime and multiple opposition groups. Since then, it has developed to be one of the deadliest conflicts in the 21st century. More than 614,000 people have been killed, and more than 5 million have been displaced, forming the largest refugee crisis in the world.
