people of syria since 2011 their country has been used as a chessboard on which the syrians appear as pawns and it's somebody else's geo strategic chessboard. in particular the united states and its allies basically tore syria apart partly designed to topple the secular legitimate government in syria the sovereign government the government recognized by the united nations partly to topple that government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has an important place in geo strategic we in geographically in this resource rich region of the middle east it also has. so yes what we've seen the tragedy of syria the tragedy of the so-called civil war it's actually a proxy war by international players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield. with the focus of the conflict in other parts of syria they
