Give me a simple comparison between Syria and Libya.

Libya is the Islamic state of North Africa. Gaddafi wants to be the leader of Africa, but has a small population and a weak army. Syria is an Islamic country in the Middle East with a relatively strong military. Bashar and Iran are close.

Libya and Syria are both authoritarian regimes, but Libya is a battle between dictatorship and democracy plus a battle for tribal interests, while Syria is more sectarian.

Libya’s Gaddafi basically has no friends. South Africa may be the only one, and some small African countries may also have friends. Arabs, Al Qaeda, Europe and the United States, and even China and Russia all have problems with him. Syria also has several friends, Iran, Russia and so on.

The original Libyan opposition, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Organization, has some unclear connections with Al Qaeda and has a strong religious overtone; the Sunni opponents in Syria are more mixed and cannot be explained clearly. .

There are two similarities. One is that it has been a dictatorship for decades, and the other is that it is finished or is about to be finished.
