Syrian crisis and the Arabic Springs

A look at the Arab Springs and more recently the Syrian crisis made me sympathise with these nations. This being that many have lost their lives, family members, friends and limbs in these revolutions, as noted of the 5 000 lives that have been lost in Bahrain recently.

Then again, there is always an element of hope in every situation and this got me thinking and brought me to reward the peoples of the nation’s applause on their capacity to recognise the need for democracy and most importantly the recognition of their rights.

The unending smoke fumes have projected Syria as the subject of concern in the recent uprisings of the Arab nations. It is clear that the Arab nations have been injected with a stimulus force to revolt against their governments. These revolutions have previously seen to the arrest of the former Egyptian president Mubarak to the infamous death of the Libyan president Muammar Qaddafi.

However although an applause may be in place for these revolutions it is also important to note the feasibility of democracy being achieved through violence , or some situations are consequential and have to be looked at the greater end that the means.

Although anti government protests are not the only reasons for the unrests in these countries, mounting political tension internally and externally is also a major factor. A recent probe to the cause of the unrest in Syria (which is still underway), has revealed that Saudi Arabia and Jordan have a hand in the Syrian unrest and have previously in history been conflict. Issues continue to unfold and the situation continues to climax, with the hope that everything calms down.
