"Five wars are taking place in Syria" - AustralianStratigic Policy Institute

War and cruelty are not new in the M.E.

Why there won't be peace in Syria any time soon. Five wars are going on at the same time and this important Middle Eastern country is being picked to pieces, much like vultures flying around a dying body,  anxious for its own piece of the corpse.

1. The ‘original’ war between the Assad regime and the largely Sunni Arab rebellion against it,
2. the war between the Kurdish YPG (Peoples’ Protection Units) and the Islamic State organisation,
3. the conflict between the rebels and Islamic State in the north and south of the country,
4. clashes between the Islamic State and the Ass
