The Syrian civil war began in early spring 2011 following similar uprisings in other Arab states. The unrest began as protests against Assad’s government, but the violent response led to armed rebellion by a variety of opposition Islamist, nationalist and secular groups opposed to Assad.
A study by the Syrian Centre for Policy Research released on February 2016 estimated the death toll at 470,000, over 6 million internally displaced and over 4 million refugees abroad mainly in neighbouring countries, but some attempting to seek refuge in Europe.
It’s been five years - the odyssey continues.
