Revolution

Syria

"In March 2011, antigovernment protests erupted in several Syrian cities. Protesters called for greater political freedom, the release of political prisoners, and the removal of President Bashar al-Assad. Bashar, in power since the death of his father in 2000, refused to step down. The unrest escalated into an armed revolt costing thousands of lives"
