The Syrians still fighting – civil war rages on

Posted by African Press International on November 6, 2012

The Syrian fighters under the banner – Free Syrian Army consisting of deserters from the regular army, activists and some foreign fighters are still fighting for control of some towns in the country.

President Assads loyal army personnel on the other hand do not want to lose the war fearing what will happen to them if the Free Syrian Army fighters take over the country.

The United Nation has tried to negotiate the end of the fighting without success. The Arab League did the same and failed. The war has taken many lives – a war that has lasted for over ne and a half years.

The international community is unwilling to step in like they did in Libya where they armed the fighters who wanted Gaddafi’s blood. The Libyan fighters managed to win the war ony when NATO imposed a no-fly zone over Libya.

The Syrian fighters have asked NATO to do the same for them but Russia has refused to support the move.
