Claim of occupation of 46 military bases

The civil war began in Syria in 2011
The civil war in Syria began with the Arab Spring in 2011. Supporters of democracy launched protests against the dictatorial government of Bashar al-Assad, in power in Syria since 2000. After that, a rebel group named the Free Syrian Army was formed.
With the formation of the rebel group, the civil war in Syria began. This conflict further worsened after the accession of America, Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, the terrorist organization ISIS has also expanded here.
After the 2020 ceasefire agreement, only sporadic clashes took place here. According to the United Nations report, more than 3,000,000 people were killed during the ten-year civil war. Apart from this, thousands of people had to be displaced.
The Syrian Civil War is the second most destructive war of the 21st century.
The city of Aleppo destroyed in the Syrian civil war
The city of Aleppo, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 and one of the oldest cities in the world, became an important site of the Syrian Civil War in 2012. The Syrian city of Aleppo was not only a world heritage but also the center of the country’s economy. This city adorned with beautiful mosques and art objects was destroyed in no time by its own people.
In July 2012, Aleppo was divided into two parts, one under the control of the Free Syrian Army and the other under the control of Bashar al-Assad. The countries that helped the government were Russia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Pakistan.
At the same time, the rebels received help from the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. All the beautiful artifacts, mosques and cultural heritage that the city was known for were lost in government airstrikes.
