    Right Now ...Over the course of the last year,

    the civil war in Syria has grown

    from a small unrest to a larger

    uproar. Mr. Bashar Assad has

    retaliated against his peoples

    actions with brutal violence,

    killing over 7,000 Syrian citizens.

    This kind of massacre would not

    continue if Russia and China did

    not veto the decision to remove

    Mr. Assad from power. Their

    claim was that they did not want

    the UN to have the power to

    remove someone from power

    based on a vote.

    Russia is providing weapons for the countrys

    military and China virtually doing the same

    thing.

    A writer for this one time

    newsletter addressing Syria!

    Russia and China are said to be the great powers that allySyria. While Bashar Assad, leans on them for support and otherassistance, they failed to aid the people in a recent vote to force Assadaway from power. The United Nations Security Counsels voteresulted in a 13 -2, having both Russia and China opposing removalof Bashar Assad.

    Both countries have invested time and money into Syria:Russia is providing weapons for the countrys military and Chinavirtually doing the same thing. The bloodbath will continue tohappen with Assad in power, and many are holding Russia and Chinaas accomplices to the tragedy going on in Syria. Moscow and Beijing

    arent supporting the people in the country, they never were.

    Allies of Syria ... friends of the people?(Cont.)

    Blood and violence is what the allies of Syria are spectating. Bashar Assad has shown

    no signs of giving up power, especially since the Baath party in Syria has been in power for

    over 40 years. Bashars father, Hafez, took control of Syria through coup in the 70s.

    While Bashar believes the rebels are stronger on airwaves he expects his power to

    control the ground and win over the airwaves eventually. He believes the media has been a

    heavy critic to his actions. Certain minority groups within Syria also have support of the

    Assad regime, since having Assad in powers keeps them protected. Choosing sides for this

    civil war has been difficult for some, it is a choice pertaining to betrayal, loyalty, and justice.

    Allies in SyriaABOUT MEAuthor: Sammy Zeisloft

    She wrote this.

    From reading into the current

    uproar in Syria, you learn about

    many things such as allies, enemies

    and help that comes in many forms.

    This articles tells how Russia, China

    and Iran support Assad Regime but

    how this could be non beneficial for

    the rest of their country. From the

    beginning of the war in Syria, allies

    have showed their support for the

    syrian government, now they arecoming together and supporting the

    people in order to bring peace back to

    the country.

    In the beginning, these

    allied countries supported the

    government leader and gave

    support to Assad regime, now

    however, the countries are

    more for the people and

    helping their country once

    again reach peace.

    Who are Syrias allies?ABOUT METucker Bartholomew

    Journalist from Science

    Leadership Academy

    While Russia, China, and Iran claim to be allies with Syria, Russia and

    China have vetoed the decision to remove Assad as the leader in Syria,

    and Iran has not been completely honest about support they claim to

    have given. Iran has claimed to give training to rebels through their

    navy, but no evidence has been given that they have used any docks in

    Syria. Russia and China vetoed the bill under the fear having countries

    rights diminished by the UN deciding they can take over. Their question

    to the bill asks where this kind of power ends. The article reflects theeffects of their veto. Violence in Syria goes unchecked by the UN, and

    bloodshed is highlighted in the explanations of rebel assaults. Russia and

    China were the only two countries to veto the bill that condemned the

    violence in Syria, and that backed the Arab League plan to get Assad to

    step down. Because of this veto many have been killed, and more

    continue to die.

    Who are Syrias allies? (Cont.)

    As the civil war continues to rage on, Syrias allies continue to look like

    confused sheep in the midst of its strife. Syria is a very important nation in the

    Middle East. Its diversity of religious practices and cultures make it an eclectic

    gem in the midst of a continent that isnt as accepting. Allowing Mr. Assad to

    continue his massacre is tantamount to loosing a major part of progressive

    change in the Middle East.

    This is why removing Assad from power is of such vital importance.

    However, one horrific truth is that while some countries may be allies with

    Syria, some may not be allies with its people; Russia and China. While both

    countries indubitably realize that there are over 7,000 dead citizens and only a

    small rebel force to repel the governments attacks, both countries are unwilling

    to remove Assad because they do not want that kind of power to be distributed

    to a specific country. Assad is able to act on the lack of unity, both in his country

    and in the UN, and use it as his advantage. There is no forgiveness for Assads

    crimes, but there are now prolonged ramifications for his actions.

    Syrias allies and who they areABOUT MEEtiam: Steven Webb

    He wrote this.

    From reading the article Syrias allies China and Russia are

    urging Assad to talk. Mr Assad is facing severe international

    isolation stemming from his crackdown on an eight-month-old

    uprising, which the UN estimates has killed 3,500 people.
