Hello Steem Family!
Just before I watch a little entertainment and go to sleep, I want to make a post about this explanation about the conflict and war in Syria!
Quote from Wikipedia ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Civil_War
"The Syrian Civil War is an ongoing multi-sided armed conflict in Syria fought primarily between the government of President Bashar al-Assad, along with its allies, and various forces opposing the government, as well as each other in varying constellations.
The unrest in Syria, part of a wider wave of 2011 Arab Spring protests, grew out of discontent with the Assad government and escalated to an armed conflict after protests calling for his removal were violently suppressed.[105] The war is being fought by several factions: the Syrian government and its international allies, a loose alliance of Sunni Arab rebel groups (including the Free Syrian Army), the majority-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Salafi jihadist groups (including al-Nusra Front) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), with a number of countries in the region and beyond being either directly involved, or rendering support to one or another faction."

The War in Syria 101
I’m going to spell out the basic indisputable facts that everyone needs to know about the war in Syria.
The US has been meddling in Syria’s internal political affairs since the late 1940’s and created a manufactured insurrection that manifested in March 2011.
The US and their allies planned, prepared, and executed the war in Syria under the pretense of a humanitarian intervention.
– The US, Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO, EU, etc. are responsible for funding and arming hundreds of thousands of terrorists from over 80 different countries.-The real aim however behind their false claim of fighting terrorism was “regime change”.
When that mission failed, they resorted to arming Kurdish militias with an aim to divide and weaken war torn Syria.
Now that Turkey is clearing out Kurdish militias on their border the US is put in an awkward position. Do they support their NATO ally or their Kurdish militia pawns?
– The US will try to appease both. They will not hinder Turkeys progress on their border. They will continue to support their Kurdish allies in the northeastern region, which is where the majority of their illegal bases are located. This area also happens to be the most oil and agriculturally rich part of the country.
The Syrian government has vowed to liberate every inch of Syria and expelling Turkey, the US, any and all uninvited foreign terrorists.
The Syrian people, government, and army have shown extraordinary resistance in the face of a war that was brought to their door.
Syria’s main allies include Russia, Iran, Hezb Allah.-Syria’s enemies underestimated the Axis of Resistance.
For over seven years now, Syria has been fighting a powerful battle on behalf of the world against terrorism, imperialism, and zionism.
This war has cost hundreds of thousands of deaths, created millions of refugees, billions if not trillions in infrastructure destruction.
Syrians are rebuilding their country, martyrs will forever be mourned and like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Syria will rise again. Syria is the cradle of civilizations and will continue to exist in its glory no matter what external forces try to destroy it.
A sincere thank you to everyone that has stood by the truth, countered the lies, exposed the perpetrators and called for them to be held responsible for their actions. You are on the right side of history. Your valuable contributions have helped counter the lies and propaganda. Never stop researching, sharing and standing up for the truth!

Sarah, I hope you read this.
My question is, what is the situation then with extremist Islamists, The Islamic State supporters for example, when it comes to Syria?
Are there Islamist extremist both on the inside and outside of the war in Syria, if you understand what I mean...? Both in the Official Syrian Army and on the terrorist side? Or is it more to the terrorist side, that you would find, what we in the west call Jihadis, or Islamic extremists...?
Thank you so much for making posts about such an important topic!!!
Keep doing it!

Thanks for reading! Upvote, share, comment and check out and follow Sarah Abed also! I hope she will see this post and maybe make a post to answer my questions. But I need to do waay more research on this topic. I didn't have time so far to really dig into it in any way, and since we cannot really allow ourselves to just believe we are informed from listening to the Mainstream Media, I have to admit that I know VERY LITTLE about who is doing what in Syria and in the Middle East in general! It is a very big area with so many different actors and conflicts! Full of oil and agricultural potencial!
