Question

The crisis in Syria is a result of the collapse of the political sphere and rise of instability across the Middle East beginning in 2011 in Egypt with the Arab Spring Uprising. Which community does not want to impose military sanctions to stop the conflict and thereby restricting the United Nations in its ability to intervene? Question 6 options:

Answer 1

The Arab Spring was a wave of popular protests, revolts and revolutions against governments in the Arab world that broke out in 2011. The countries hit by the protests were Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Bahrain. The dictators of all these countries have left power, except in Syria, where civil war occurs to this day, killing more than 500,000 civilians.

This confrontation is also a geopolitical and economic issue, which affects Russia's interests. The president of Russia is allied with the dictator of Syria and refutes sanctions from United Nations to Syria. Russia supplies arms and acts to reposition its influence on the international scene, mainly as a power in the Middle East, ignoring the various accusations of war crimes against civilians.
