The syrian people were protesting “after the arrest and torture of some teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on a school wall”(BBC). The government tried to stop this with force but that just lead to more syrians protesting. This “Violence escalated and the country descended into civil war as rebel brigades were formed to battle government forces for control of cities, towns and the countryside”(BBC). It was now a civil war over who controls the country : the government or the people. The government has also “been accused of using civilian suffering - such as blocking access to food, water and health services through sieges - as a method of war”(BBC). This is a problem because the syrian government is hurting its own people and is being accused for war
