The Syrian civil war has been going on for almost two years now, and from the looks of things, it isn’t going to come to a halt anytime soon.

What started out as a simple protest promoting the resignation of the current president has turned into an armed rebellion, what some are calling a civil war.
The once-protesters demanded the resignation of the President Bashar al-Assad. They wanted the president to resign because they wanted a change in government; they wanted a re-instatement of civil rights. After not getting what they demanded, the protestors turned violent, and as a result the Syrian Army was deployed to stop the protest.
