In recent meet of UNO in Switzerland to solve Syrian crisis seems to be going out of the place because both the parties Assad government and fighting United Opposition, are attending the meet with different agenda.
Syrian delegation is adamant to justify its attacks on innocent people under pretext of fighting against terrorists, however there is no justification for how all the people are either terrorist or their supporters. Syrian crisis may appear simple from the top , however the root of this crisis is very complex because it has ethnic dimensions, political deprivation of a large section of society, economic subjugation of people by the elite group and misdeeds of an autocratic ruler, president Assad, who is hellbent upon crushing the uprising of the people.Everything was going good till December 2010, when anti government protests began in Tunisia and very soon spreaded all over the Arab World.Political thinkers call it Arab Spring.Although in Syria, conflict began with a minor protest against government corruption and human rights abuse in January2011, and Assad government responded with large scale arrest and torture of people.However protests continued and Assad government started military action against protesters. A group of defected army officers formed a group known as Free Syrian Army (FSA). Lster on anti government groups formed an organisation known as Syrian National Council. The government repondded in a very brutal way and to crush protests it has used chemical weapon. Arab League, UNOand international community reacted very sharply and asked the government to store human rights as well as political rights for the people. However the government refused to respect international request and further intensified air attacts on fighters and innocent people.
Syrian civil war has both political and economic interests of five groups-Russia, the largest supplier of arms and the largest benificiary from Syrian economy; US, feels deprived of gains in the oil market and feels as looser in this region due to Russian dominance; Turky, Qatar and SaudiArab who feel unrest in Syria will affect their interests in this region; The UNO which feels being non performer in this issue and finally Syrian
fighters who say that they are fighting for the independence of the nation. But all of them are unable to explain why people, who have everythingat stake, are suffering in the most brutal way
World community is worried about the unrest in this part of the world.
It has been noticed that Al Qaeda is trying hard to build its base in this region therefore its fighters are participating in all those areas where disturbance is rising or it is on the verge of blasting.
Whatever may be reason for struggle but one thing is clear that establishment is under threat in this area. Old style of governance is under scan. Since people aspirations have suffered badly in last fifty years therefore dissatisfaction among people is also rising day by day.
UN is anxious to resolve this problem as soon as possible as it is affecting oil supply all over the world.

Both US and Russia have their own interests and China is a new player in this area. Since Russia has strongh hold in this country and US wants to have full control on oil trade ,hence it is supporting fighting guerillas. Further US has its military interest in this region. As a result, Syrian triangle has uniquely 5 angles - President Asad; Fighting guerrillas; US; Russia and Arab World and the UN has become a mere spectator.
