Seven schoolboys were the ones whom triggered the Syrian revolution. They sprayed (graffiti) anti-Assad slogans in their schoolyard, which led to them being tortured. People in their city then protested against the regime, and the regime killed many people of the city, which escalated to protests being spread across Syria.

You can read the story here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2315888/Revealed-The-boy-prankster-triggered-Syrias-bloody-genocide-slogans-sprayed-schoolyard.html

Just like how Apo said, dictators that holds with an iron grip on the population, will eventually fall.

Christian Refugees in Syria Forced Back to i-rack by War

Posted Image

i-rack – “We were afraid of being kidnapped,” says Nanith, a 43-year-old Christian, explaining why he and his family fled Syria to return to their native i-rack. “We mainly feared the Free Syrian Army (FSA),” explained his 40-year-old wife Rawnaq.

The couple was among the i-racki Christian community in Syria, which in 2010 numbered about 100,000. Most fled there after the 2003 US-led invasion, that toppled Saddam Hussein, unleashed a wave of violence, part of it against i-rack’s ancient Christian community.

But after the popular resistance against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad erupted into a civil war just over two years ago, those Christian refugees this time found themselves caught in the fight between radical Islamists allied with the FSA, and government forces.

According to official figures, overall about 76,000 i-racki refugees have recently returned to i-rack, among them Nanith and his wife, who are originally from Baghdad but now settled in the Christian town of Alqosh in i-rack’s multi-ethnic northern Nineveh province.

Many Christians in Syria looked to Assad’s regime for protection, but with the embattled president himself fighting for survival, they found themselves unprotected, and vulnerable.

Returnees to i-rack say that their community itself became a target after a group of Assyrian Christians in Syria’s Kurdish region sided with the Kurdish YPG fighters. “We were seen as taking sides,” Rawnaq explains.

In the lawlessness in Syria that has claimed an estimated 70,000 lives, a Christian gold trader was kidnapped, released only after a hefty ransom; at the University of Aleppo a Christian was stabbed to death after a quarrel; more recently, Syrian media reported the kidnapping of two orthodox bishops who were traveling near Aleppo.

Nanith and his family, who lived in the Syrian Kurdish town of Qamishli, say that Islamic militants began threatening Christians. He recounts how a rich Armenian Christian received an envelope with a bullet, together with a demand for $200.000 dollars if he wanted to stay alive.

“He left everything behind and took his family to Armenia,” says Nanith, who himself eventually took his family back to his father’s birthplace in Alqosh, in i-rack’s so-called “disputed territories” that are claimed by both the Arab central government in Baghdad and the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in the north. Alqosh is governed by the KRG.

Nanith fled i-rack, after twice deserting from Saddam’s army. He escaped to Syria after receiving a two-year jail term for desertion. In Syria, he was helped by the UN’s refugee agency.

But after Saddam’s fall, he lost his refugee status in Syria. “Because we were no longer considered refugees, we lost our status and our papers,” Nanith explains.

The battles in Aleppo affected some of his children who were studying there. Meanwhile, Nanith and his eldest sons lost their jobs, and the family fell to penury, struggling for food and fuel. “We spent a winter without any heating,” Rawnaq recalls.

Like many Syrian Christians who fled the violence, their i-racki brothers mainly went to Lebanon on the way out to the West. Those Iraqis who could safely return to Baghdad did so. Alqosh only houses two families who fled Syria.

i-racki army losing hold on north to Sunni and Kurdish rebels as troops desert

Soldiers are deserting a beleaguered i-racki army as it struggles to keep its hold on the northern half of i-rack in the face of escalating hostility from Sunni Arabs and Kurds who dominate in the region.

Around the oil city of Kirkuk Kurdish troops have advanced south to take over military positions abandoned by the army, while in Baghdad senior i-racki politicians say that for the first time there is talk of partitioning the country.

The current crisis was sparked on 23 April when the i-racki army attacked a sit-in protest in the Sunni Arab town of Hawijah, killing at least 50 people and injuring 110. Outraged Sunni Arab protesters have since stepped up their demonstrations against the Shia-led government. Demonstrators are increasingly protected by armed men, some of whom are accused of dragging five military intelligence soldiers in civilian clothes from a car that came near a protest in Fallujah and killing them.

There are signs that the i-racki army can no longer cope with a crisis in which it is confronting both Sunni Arabs and Kurds. Many soldiers prefer to desert the army rather than shoot at protesters said Najmaldin Karim, the Kurdish Governor of Kirkuk, where Hawijah is situated, in an interview with The Independent. Most deserters are Sunni, Mr Karim said, but he added that some are Shia who don’t want to fight in strange places for something they don’t believe in.

Mr Karim, formerly a doctor in the US, confirmed that Kurdish troops have moved to take over positions around Kirkuk left vacant by the i-racki army, but vehemently denies that this is a land-grab by the Kurds seeking to take over the oilfields as i-racki army commanders have alleged. Affirming that Kurdish forces have taken over places vacated by the i-racki army, he explained that i-racki military units are under orders to leave their outposts at night and concentrate in defensible positions.

“They [i-racki army commanders] are playing on people’s emotions and trying to detract from the fact that they attacked civilian demonstrators and killed scores of them at close range.”

Mediators seeking to end the protest in Hawijah last week say they only needed another six hours to end the confrontation when the army attacked.

A confrontation between the Kurds and the central government in Baghdad last summer has led to poor relations between the two. Security cooperation has broken down and there has been a 30 per cent rise in terrorist attacks in Kirkuk as a result. Last week al-Qa’ida in i-rack was able to take over the town of Suleiman Bec in Kirkuk province and only left under a truce arrangement

“It is really ironic,” says Mr Karim, “that at Hawijah the army attacks demonstrators including children and elderly. And then at Suleiman Bec al-Qa’ida killed the police chief. They captured and killed whoever was in the police station. The whole population of the town left. Terrorists controlled the town for 24 hours and then they were given safe passage to get out with their weapons and stolen cars.”

i-racki politicians are gloomy about the prospects for keeping the country together. Mowaffak al-Rubaie, the former i-racki National Security Adviser, said in a phone interview yesterday that for the first time he was hearing leaders in Baghdad talk seriously of partitioning the country. He said ”I believe i-rack is going through its most critical phase since the creation of the state in 1921. " He said that for i-rack partition would not be a soft option but would be more like the bloodbath when India and Pakistan divided.

In the last four months Mr Maliki has done little to conciliate the Sunni Arabs who have been conducting a peaceful campaign demanding civil and political rights. They want an end to job discrimination and a terror law under which suspects can be arrested tortured on the word of an unknown informant. The protests were conducted largely without violence until the unexpected break-up of the Hawaijah sit-in. Sunni Arabs are now demanding that the army withdraw from their areas. A highly influential Sunni religious figure, seen as the inspirational leader of the protests, Abdul Malik al-Saadi, had previously counselled moderation, but last week issued a statement saying “if they open fire, then burn the land beneath them, and defend your selves with courage.”

The government has been ambivalent in its attitude to the demonstrations, sometimes declaring their grievances to be just and at others demonising them as al-Qa’ida members. “I call upon the peaceful protesters to expel the criminals targeting military and police,” Mr Maliki said in a statement posted on his official website. Yesterday ten satellite television companies, including al-Jazeera and al-Sharkiya, had their licenses withdrawn, while earlier the authorities announced a curfew in the whole of Sunni Anbar province in western i-rack. But the television channels have gone on operating and the army may not be in a position to enforce a curfew.

If Maliki is clever he will declare Shiite region independent from Sunni Arab part of i-rack. The best thing for Shiite Arabs is to go away and join Iran. Otherwise they will not survive!

There're maybe 85% Sunni and only 15% Shiite in the world.

US probably woun't let the Shia regions easily being taken by Iran for now. The smartest thing for Shia i-racki Arabs would be create an own Shia i-racki state. They can call it South i-racki or whatever.

Just cut it. i-racki is like a I-racki, Donkey and Horse glued together. They woun't function just separate them and let the I-racki be a I-racki, the donkey a donkey and the horse a horse. Insisting on holding these three groups, with hatred towards each other, together is the dumbest thing you can thing about. At the end of the day the will start again and again to go on each throats.

I wonder why the western media isn't saying anything.
What I find funny is some Kurds think this is a good thing, you guys are idiots if you do. If the old baathists come to power, then expect another Halabja.

Ba'athists' time is over. This is not 1980s when people didn't care. It was not illegal to use chemical weapons, I think. Now it is, and if they use they are doomed. By the way, where the hell would they get chemical weapons to recreate a Halabja gas attack? A civil war between Sunnis and Shias is good, it gave us the opportunity to go into Kerkûk without confrontation with Sunnis or Shias. BUT, old Ba'athists' time is over, it died with Saddam and soon with Bashar.

They'd still need to fight the Shias and they are not too happy about these Sunnis and probably still seek revenge. It will be a bloodshed and an even more unstable i-rack.

jj dont go down the shia vs sunni, at the moment the sunnis in irack are at least not anti Kurd like the shia are, the shia with DIRECT orders from iran have been anti Kurd since last two years, it was not the sunnis who refused to pay our budget, it was not the sunnis who delayed article 140 till it got aborted, it was not sunnis who refused to pay Peshmerga budget, and the sunnis do have power in the parliament and they have not once voted against any laws to do with Kurdistan while the shias do with majority of their votes since they alone form the majority in parl as well.
the shia have backstabbed Kurds in irack, as soon as they got powerful they showed us the middle finger and if they were in the right era they would done worst than Halabja, look at how iran is treating EK and Kurds? hanging em on a daily basis, even the turks have given something to NK now, what has iran given to EK? look at Ilam and look at Amed the difference is 100 years.

so dont let the shia in you get to you and make you a sectarian and take maliki's side, we are just happy for them both to kill each other while we keep growing, we are not going to be part of a war torn irack the minute the situation gets like syria it will make our declaration legit, so no one is been stupid here i think the whole thing is bringing a sectarian side of you out, but not on here jj we kurds dont care about shia vs sunnis in Kurdistan.

so you want milki boy to survive? me i want the fucker to go to hell with his followers and his sunni counterparts, to me iracki is iracki shia or sunni is no difference to me they both stink, example euprhate (shia) and chounez (sunni) ladies on ssc.
