Bashar

Syria Syrian
Uprising Timeline (2011) Syrian
Flag In March, 2011, as part of the "Arab
Spring" rebellions throughout the
Middle East, protests began in Syria,
and rose to the level of an
anti-government uprising resulting in
at least hundreds of deaths. As the conflict continued, members
of the Syrian military defected and
formed the "Free Syrian Army," which
presented itself as the armed wing of
the uprising. The Syrian government
forces typically respond to attacks and
protests with massive force, bombarding
civilian areas indiscriminatly, and
causing heavy casualties. As of March,
2012, the United Nations estimated that
at least 8,000 perished in this
conflict, while at least 250,000 had
fled their homes. Syrian refugees have sought safety
across the borders into Lebanon and
Turkey, but their presence, and armed
incursions by Assad loyalists, have
brought the violence in Lebanon as
well. Western sources also note that
Iran is aiding the Assad regime,
possibly with military advisors. Syria
