"The weapons of war must be abolished, before they abolish us."

 Civil war in Syria
Its been six years since the outbreak of the civil war in Syria. The country has become the battle ground between Bashar Al-Assad, the opposition and ‘terrorists’. Thousands of people lost their life, families are separated, bombing and throwing of grenades has become the true culture and a way of living in the country. Living there for many has become life threatening.  Currently there is no government and as results, many are fleeing to the peripheral countries such as Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon to seek refuge.

Where is the United Nation to resolve this insanity?  In 2012 the UN Security Council has called for the induction of ‘2012 Geneva Communique’ to help resolve the issue but the talks broke down. In an attempt to find the solution to this humanitarian crisis in Syria, about four world super powers emerged. USA, Russia, Turkey and Iran. USA and Russia were reported to have arranged the ‘proximity’ talk with the opposition in an attempt to bring peace and to stop the massacre, however nothing seemed to be working as talks had broken up.  So many attempts have been done after which include the UN-mediated talks but nothing materialised.

Why is it so difficult to find the solution to end this holocaust in Syria?  To find the answer lets go on the ground and observe the situation if whether or not there is help from US and the likes. When there are killings of people in a country there should be weapons such as guns, bombs, deadly chemicals that ends human life like John F Kennedy said "The weapons of war must be abolished, before they abolish us." Where are the weapons coming from then?

 USA is reported to have provided military assistance to ‘moderate’ rebels and conducted air strikes in 2014. Saudi Arabia has allocated military and financial support in the country according to reports. Turkey did the same when they send their defence delegates to send those with Islamist ideology away. According to BBC, Iran has provided with ‘subsidised’ weapons. Russia has also launched certain air strikes targeted on ‘terrorists’.

Isn’t funny that you and me now we have the same question? Is sending weapons, providing with military assistance, conducting one too many air strikes and attacking people with deadly chemicals trying to end the killings and bringing peace upon the Arab country? This is totally an abuse an abuse of power. How could the provision of weapons end this mass killing? This is a joke.

 Are these actions not helping the country to destabilise? Apparently these action will never bring peace, unity and stability in Syria, but the will continue bringing turmoil, mass killing and destabilisation. There is no government in Syria as such there is no constitution. Living in the country is living under a snap short. Young children go to school to learn how to pull a trigger and not study towards dreamed careers. They study how to become good soldiers not to become teacher, lawyers etc. Actually there is nothing, absolutely nothing in Syria except bombed structures, falling buildings and people on the streets killing brothers and sisters. About 470 000 death were recorded according to Think-Tank in 2016.

My wish for Syria is that USA, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Turkey and Iran should back down ‘cause what they are doing is not honourable. What they are doing is not helping but to try to destabilise the country for certain interests just like what happened in Libya when Jorge W Bush was still the US president. It’s not international war but ‘Civil WAR’. Let they themselves find the root of the problem and be the ones to find the solution of their own problems. Shame on you the so called ‘world power’
