The civil war in Syria, now in its third year, originated in the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2010-11 when popular revolts in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya overthrew long-time dictators. The ‘cradle of the Syrian revolution’ was Daraa in the impoverished south of Syria. In 2011 Syrian workers shouted: ‘One, One, One, the Syrian People Are One !’ but today Islamic fundamentalists are chanting ‘ Christians to Beirut, Alawites to the Grave !’ According to the UN Human Rights Data Analysis Group there have been 92,901 reported killings in the period March 2011 to April 2013 in Syria.
