Syrian slogan

Syria is Russia's only military base in the Middle East, so the Syrian government was killed and Russia must support it. China has many civilians in Syria, so they can't leave. They just support Russia to contain the United States.

20 1 1 The anti-government protests in Syria were triggered by the arrest of 15 young students who scribbled anti-government slogans in public places in the southern city of Deraa in mid-March. Now it has spread all over the country. Lack of constitutional rights and political corruption are the main reasons. Demonstrators put forward many political demands, such as ending the emergency law, calling for political reform, fighting for freedom and punishing corruption. This protest is considered by all circles to be unprecedented in Syria.

After the Arab Baath Socialist Party successfully seized the Iraqi regime from 65438 to 0963, the Syrian Baath Socialist Party quickly seized the Syrian regime through a military coup on March 8 of the same year. Although domestic power has changed, Baath Party has become the only ruling party in Syria through "Action 1966" and "Correct Revolution 1970", and there is no multi-party election in the Syrian parliament.

Hafez, 1970 was then secretary of defense? Assad came to power through a military coup. During his 30-year rule before his death in 2000, he banned any opposition party (many newly established political parties were later declared illegal by the authorities) or non-ruling party candidates from participating in any election activities. After Hafez's death, his underage son Bashar? Assad was successfully elected president by amending the constitution and has ruled for 65438 years. Bashar can speak English and French, and has a wife born in England (Asma? Assad), June 5438 +2000 10, there was a debate about "Damascus Spring", which was an important reform content in politics and society. He is considered to have an urgent desire for reform.

Since 1962, Syria has been under the management of emergency law, which prohibits large-scale assembly and organization of sports; The authorities also have the right to question anyone, supervise private communications and censor the media. Therefore, this law has caused Syrian citizens to lack most constitutional rights. The Syrian government defended the implementation of the emergency law by going to war with Israel.

The Islamic rebellion that began in 1976 lasted for six years. 1982, the Hama massacre in the western city of Hama became the climax of these events: Hafez? Assad blamed the rebellion on the Muslim Brotherhood in Hama, which pursued a policy of scorching the land for Sunni Muslims in Hama and sent troops to suppress the rebellion, resulting in the death of10,000 to 38,000 people.

In 2004, Kurds in the northeastern city of Qamishli launched an anti-government riot. The riot began with a chaotic football match, when some people waved Kurdish flags. Later, the game turned into a political conflict. In the following months, fierce confrontation and conflict broke out between Syrian police and local Kurds and Arab tribes, killing at least 30 people. Some people claimed that the death toll was 65,438+000.

Bashar? The Assad family belongs to the Alawites. Since Muslims account for 87% of the Syrian population, among which Sunnis account for 80%, Shiites account for 20%, and Alawites account for 65,438+03% of the total Syrian population. However, Alawites control the country's security forces, and the Syrian government has always relied entirely on Alawites-controlled forces to crack down on those who oppose the government: Bashar's younger brother Mahir Assad leads the country's elite forces-the National Guard and the Fourth Armored Force, and Bashar's brother-in-law Asef Shokat (the husband of Bashar's sister Bushra Assad) is the deputy chief of staff of the army. This makes the Sunni people deeply dissatisfied. As a minority in the country, Kurds also have many complaints and protests.

In addition, serious corruption and unemployment are also the main reasons why the Syrian people are dissatisfied with the government. Relevant research data show that in 2002, the unemployment rate of young people aged 65,438 +05 to 24 in Syria accounted for 77% of the total unemployed population in the country, and in 2005, young people accounted for 25.4% of the national population. The unemployment rate of young people (25%) is six times that of adults (4%). Although the unemployment rate of young people in Middle East countries is generally high, the average unemployment rate of young people in Middle East countries is only 3.3% of that of adults.
