What is happening is very straightforward.

The people of Syria (nearly 80%) do not want this regime, because we have been living under tyranny for the last 47 years (the remaining 20% are with the regime, because if the regime goes they will loose all the advantages and benefits they are getting now).

Syria is a republic, yet the regime is making it a kingdom, passing the rule from the father to the sun, and the family of Assad controls the economy, the Parliament, the army, the media, social life and every thing else in the country, and even how people should think.

The people thought Bashar Alassad, when he took over from the father Hafez Assad in 2000, is going to bring the country into freedom, and better life. The result was more monopoly, corruption, and preferring his sect (though Syrians do not think this way) with all the benefits and advantages.

Syria is not a poor country, but the regime has made it so, and the GDP per capita is around USD 6000 only. Syria is rich in economy, and produces oil at the rate of 800000 barrels per day. This goes mostly to the pockets of the regime and its supporters.

The people asked for changes to be made, to give more freedom to the people, and for better distribution of wealth. The result the regime responded with fire. Things got complicated when troops started to defect from the army, so that they will not kill their own citizens ( Free Syrian Army is formed as a result) . Bashar Assad and his regime responded with scud missiles and through all types of bombs on the heads of the people, including banned chemical weapons so that they will stop the revolution.

Politically, the regime is preferred by the US and the West because this is the best regime they can think of as long as their interests are not touched. The same for Israel and even some Arab countries, hence the complications.

No country has given any arms to the people as this is not approved yet by the US administration, and the regime is heavily supported financially and militarily by Russia and Iran for different reasons. The terrorist listed group of Huzbulla is helping the regime by sending their men to Syria.

Syrian opposition parties have formed a National Coalition, which is doing its best, but not getting enough support from the world in view of the above.

Syria is now destroyed; the economy is cripples, and the Syrian Lira has lost its value. The number of people killed 100000, detainees 200000, wounded 500000, and refugees inside and outside Syria 5 million people (figures as per reliable sources).

Opposition asked for a smooth transfer of power, but the regime is still responding with fire. If no support is given by the world to the people of Syria ans it coalition, more people will die, and more people will be displaced.

The revolution will not stop. The regime will collapse soon, and the people of Syria will rebuild their country, and take into the 21st century with the hands of its own people.
