Since the night of 30 June 2024, Turkey has witnessed yet another wave of mass violent attacks against Syrian refugees
The Republic of Türkiye was founded on October 29, 1923, on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. Unlike the Ottoman Empire, revolutionary changes over time were made in many areas to establish a modern democratic regime. Secularism, giving women the right to vote and be elected, abolishing the sultanate and caliphate, parliamentary democracy, and switching to the Latin alphabet are the most notable of these.
Syria
Syria is a part of the Arab world, it got its independence in 1946, and it has been controlled by Albaath Party since 1963, and in 1970 Hafez Alassad became the president after a military coup and he got rid of his opponents by killing and detaining them, although they were his mates of the same party.
Since he got the power, Syrians have been subjected to all types of tyranny, dictatorship, oppression and hard conditions on all levels, political, economic, social, human rights and multiple military attacks by Israel which occupied the Golan since 1967.
End of 70s and beginning of 80s were very difficult years for Syrian as they lived the consequences of the conflict between Alassad and Muslims brotherhood, causing the tragic massacre in February 1982 in Hamah that committed by the troops of Rifaat Alassad the brother of the president against civilians and around 30 thousands were killed, as well as another massacre has committed against prisoners of Tadmor prison by airforce.
From 1986 to 1992 there were waves of arrests against all political parties who are opposition to the regime were thousands have been arrested.
In 2000 the father Assad died and his son Bashar Alassad became the president, he started to be or pretend to be open to some freedom and democracy and kind of political and civil society movement, but unfortunately the revolution the started in Daraa on March 18th 2011 as people demonstrated in the streets to demand the release of the children who were detained and tortured because of what they wrote on the wall affecting by the Arab spring which started in Tunisia and Egypt.
The revolution has spread over all the country, oppressed very violently by the army and militias and then sadly the revolution turned to be an armed one, causing more violence and more violations by all the parties and the country became a battle field with intervention of multiple countries and division the country and its people.
The armed conflict has caused and still one of the hugest humanitarian crisis in the modern age, huge scales of human rights violations, poverty, forcibly displacement as more than half of the population have left or forced to leave either inside the country, neighboring countries and diaspora.
Syria is the second country in the world after Iraq of the number of missing and forced disappeared as hundreds of thousands were targeted to be detained pr disappeared or got missed, which also links to torture, ill treatment, exceptional courts, summery executions and mass graves.
The conflict is still ongoing, with no hope to any political transition, and it is very obvious that the international community has failed so far to reach to a fair and comprehensive solution.
