 Bashar al-Assad’s crackdown on protests, and since then the riots escalated into a war between the regime forces and rebels.

 More than 100,000 people have been killed since the Syria crisis started in March 2011, and four million have been internally displaced, while nearly two million have fled to neighboring countries, according to the United Nations, as largely peaceful protests against Assad's rule.
