Syria to blow up again? - Good Times Bad Times (The 20s Report)

[TexasTowelie]

The bloody war in Syria which began in 2011 has claimed the lives of more than 600,000 people and left more than 13 million people internally displaced or forced to flee Syria. The war which initially appeared to be an internal conflict has evolved over time into a proxy war fought by a number of regional and global powers and involving smaller states in the region making it one of the most complex armed conflicts in history in recent years.

The conflict has so to speak disappeared from the world media's radar. This was due to several years of relative stability in the country and the end of a period of intense fighting. The Islamic state has been crushed Bashar al-assad has regained control of the western and central parts of the country the north is controlled by pro-Turkish jihadists or Fighters once linked to Al-qaeda and the east of the country country has been subjugated by the Kurdish dominated Syrian Democratic forces. What is the situation in this Middle Eastern country today? Could the wave of unrest sweeping the Middle East unleash another avalanche of violence in this blood soaked land? Let's look at current events and answer the question of what the future may hold for the country.
