China News Service, March 15 (Liu Danyi) Ten years ago, when Dara left Aleppo, Syria with her parents, she was only 15 months old.

Now, at the age of 10, she knows almost nothing about her hometown.

She said she wanted to return to her hometown because her parents had told her "Syria is beautiful".

  But even if Dara’s dream comes true one day, what she sees in Syria will be very different from what her parents remembered.

As of March 15, 2021, ten years have passed since the Syrian conflict broke out. It seems that it is hard to have anything to recall its peaceful past.

Every ruined wall, every part of the displacement, is telling the trauma caused by the "after-effects" of the war.

[The "City of Paradise" dusted in the flames of war]

  An Arabic proverb goes, "If there is heaven in the world, Damascus will be in it; if heaven is in the sky, Damascus will have the same name as it."

  This is one of the oldest cities in the world where human beings live. It was once permeated with modern fashion and retains the charm of history.

  However, this "Pearl" of the Middle East, in the long years that followed, was covered by the flames of war.

  In January 2011, the "Arab Spring" spread to Syria. Anti-government demonstrations escalated in March and gradually evolved into armed conflicts.

  Since then, continuous wars have continued for many years, leaving the "City of Paradise" scarred.

On the boulevards in the downtown area, there are no longer citizens walking, but militiamen in camouflage uniforms guarding checkpoints filled with sandbags.

  Palmyra, an ancient city located in the desert northeast of Damascus, was once known as the "Bride of the Syrian Desert."

In the past, the standing temples, magnificent triumphal arches, towering stone pillars, and exquisite carvings under the rendering of golden sunlight, interpret the long and profound past of this land, which is fascinating.

Data map: Two photos taken in March 2014 and March 2016 show the contrast between the past and the past of the ancient city of Palmyra.

  However, these relics that witnessed the rise and fall of history and experienced the encroachment of wind and rain eventually suffered from the war and turned into ruins in the chaotic war.

  With the destruction of their homes, every family in Syria will inevitably be affected.

UN Secretary General Guterres stated that more than half of Syria's children have "never seen a day of peace."

  The shadow of death is everywhere.

In 2016, a missile hit the home of the woman Hamm, who lost her husband, son and granddaughter at the same time.

"I don't want to recall... the war is too cruel," she said.

Such tragedies are always unfolding in Syria. In the ten-year crisis, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and millions of people were forcibly displaced.

[The road to leave home to pay the price of life]

  In order to avoid the flames of war, the Syrian people have left their homeland. What awaits them is the gulf of language, culture, and social contradictions in foreign lands that keep them from their new homeland.

The loss of their source of livelihood makes their lives even more difficult.

Data map: In March 2018, local time, Syria was attacked. A woman carrying her child ran across the rubble.

  Amal Haji left Syria in 2013 with his family.

Today, he lives in a simple basement on the outskirts of Amman, the Jordanian capital, with his wife and five children.

"In order to survive, I did various jobs." Now he works in a clothing store and earns less than $260 a month. "My income barely lasts until the end of the month."

  According to a report released by the UN refugee agency in December 2020, Syrian refugees who have experienced a decade of crisis constitute the largest refugee group in the world, with a total number of 6.6 million.

The neighboring country of Syria, Turkey, is the country with the largest number of refugees in the world, hosting 3.6 million refugees.

  Europe is the "preferred destination" for many Syrian refugees.

In 2015, the number of refugees pouring into Europe exploded to more than 1 million, and the refugee crisis broke out.

The subsequent social unrest, political populization, terrorist attacks and other issues have affected Europe to this day.

Data map: On June 4, 2015 local time, in Sanliurfa, Turkey, Syrian refugees gathered at the Turkish-Syrian border waiting to enter Turkey.

  Strict border control has failed to stop the refugees. In order to survive, they took risks even at the cost of their lives.

In September 2015, a 3-year-old Syrian boy named Ailan drowned during a smuggling trip. The photos of Fu Shi Beach made the world shed distressed tears.

  Little Ailan’s father said that their boat encountered a big wave, and the captain swam to escape. “I tried to catch the child and wife, but there was no hope. They died one by one.”

  The settlement of the Syrian refugee problem requires not only the strong assistance of the international community, but also the resumption of Syria's domestic peace negotiations and political process.

In the future reconstruction process, it will also become a sensitive and complicated "wound".

[A multi-party game arena]

  Over the years, Syria has been continuously involved in the vortex of the game of great powers, and has become a "fighting arena" for multi-party contests.

  After 2012, the Syrian civil war became intensified, and the extremist organization "Islamic State" took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos.

In 2014, the United States led the "International Coalition" to intervene in the Syrian situation on the grounds of combating the "Islamic State". Four years later, the United Kingdom and France jointly attacked Syria, creating a "chemical weapons crisis."

  On the other hand, at the request of the Syrian government, in September 2015, the Russian army stationed at the Hememim Air Base in Syria to help the Syrian government forces combat extremists in Syria.

Data map: On April 14, 2018 local time, people in Damascus, the Syrian capital, launched a demonstration on the streets to protest the U.S. united British and French air strikes on Damascus.

  The United States and Russia frequently "fall out" on the Syrian issue. Militaryally, Russia helped the Syrian government forces recover large tracts of land from militants; the United States supported the Syrian Kurdish armed forces and attacked the "Islamic State" in eastern Syria.

  Regarding the Kurdish armed forces, Turkey and the United States are both NATO allies, but they also have constant discord.

Turkey regards the Syrian-Kurdish armed "People's Protection Force" as a terrorist organization and dispatched troops to Syria in October 2019 to launch military operations against the Kurdish armed forces.

  In addition, Israel accused Iran of "expanding military power in Syria" and continued to carry out air strikes on Syria.

At the most frequent time, there will be as many as 2 to 3 air strikes in just one week.

Iran accused Israel of deliberate "provocation."

  After ten years of hard work, the Syrian government currently controls most of the country, and the only remaining armed opposition and extremist organizations are confined to a corner of Idlib.

  In February 2021, the Biden administration of the United States, which had been in office for more than a month, launched an air strike against Iran-backed militias in Syria.

On this land, the smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and the shadows of swords and swords are still playing in the light and dark.

[Difficult progress under sanctions]

  Syria has now transitioned from continuous war to political reconstruction, and the settlement of the Syrian issue has also shifted from a hot military war to a stage dominated by political peace talks.

  The situation in Syria has become increasingly clear, bringing hope to some people.

Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have taken huge challenges and dangers-such as weapons-contaminated land and destroyed infrastructure, trying to resume their normal lives and rebuild their homes.

Data map: The Yarmuk refugee camp in the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, began to clean up. Large bulldozers and trucks drove into the rubble to clean up the rubble.

  However, the US sanctions, like the shadow of military intervention that has been cast on this country many times, have plunged Syria into a more serious economic and social crisis.

In fact, the Syrian issue was manipulated and manufactured by the United States behind the scenes from the beginning.

  In an interview with Chinanews.com, Li Weijian, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of International Studies and vice president of the Chinese Middle East Society, said that ten years ago, some countries were instigated by the West and wanted to participate in or intervene in the Syrian issue; some countries wanted to avoid the "Arab Spring" The spread, choose to "stand in line" the United States.

  Ten years later, some Arab countries have re-understood the Syrian issue and began to seek to improve their relations with Syria.

  This process was hindered by the United States.

On March 9, 2021, just a few days ago, UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah stated that the US sanctions on Syria are "preventing Syria from returning to the League of Arab States."

  Why does the United States treat Syria like this?

Li Weijian analyzed that Syria is actually a "bargaining chip" in the game between the United States and Russia and Iran.

In addition, the United States also wants to grasp the right to speak and take the initiative in the post-war arrangements and political process of Syria.

  Behind all this, the civilians who fell asleep with gunfire and left their hometown in tears became the group that suffered the most.

  Regarding the current situation in Syria, UN Secretary-General Guterres pointed out that this country needs more humanitarian assistance, and he called for greater support for Syria in terms of material transportation.

  Fleischer, Director of the World Food Program’s Middle East and North Africa Regional Bureau, said: “Ten years have passed and everyone is tired... But we must never forget that whether these Syrians are in their own country or in a neighboring country, they They are one of the most vulnerable people in the world. If they are forgotten, it means that life will die." (End)
