Syrian Civil War

The Syrian Civil War is a fight between the Syrian government and the people who want to take control of the country and change their laws. The Syrian Government is run by President Bashar al-Assad, and it is supported by some countries including Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah. The people who want to take control of Syria are called the opposition and they are supported by some countries including the United States, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Both sides are using weapons, bombs and other ways to fight against each other. Nobody is winning right now and many innocent people have been killed because of this war.
