Syria

Reports of anti government grafiti signs in Syria have recently appeared in news. These have directly contributed to protests among Syria. President Bashar al-Assad was the current president during the protests. Tanks and security forces were deployed into the areas of protest. Soliders were sent in an attempt to control the protest crowds. The lack of help the soldiers showed for the government contributed to the formation of the Syrian National Council. Basha al-Assad has not been forced out of power although there are many groups in Syria against his form of governing. A piece of evidence that shows an increasing rate of violence is stated best by saying, "According the United Nations, more than 5,400 Syrians have been killed, thousands are missing, with 25,000 refugees in other countries and more than 70,000 internally displaced". Investigators of the situation in Syria were able to vote Bashar al-Assad to give his power and duties to current vice president. The US has become a counterpart to improve the conditions involving human rights in Syria.
