More Unrest in Syria

Unrest is Syria is contined, now with the high possibility of leading to a civil war. Early this past wednesday renegade forces known as the Free Syrian Army or FSA carried out an attack in Harasta. The attack left six Syrian government soldiers dead, and a nine year old girl. Syrian President Al Assad is recieving critisim and being told that he needs to step down as Syrian President. It started with his crackdown on the eight month uprising and now the fighting between the government soldiers and the FSA. Because of the uprising and now the attacks a civil war doesn’t seem far off in Syria’s future.

Syrian President Al Assad is recieveing immense pressure because of the unrest in Syria, and what Syrian citizens see as a situation leading to a total outbreak of fighting in the country. President Al Assad is losing many supporters not only within Syria but from other international leaders. President Al Assad is in a bad situation, made even worse since some of his army split apart and turned against him. For President Al Assad to safe face and get out with any diginity, he needs to step down immeditaly as Syrian President. Especially before it turns in to a Libya situation and he inevitably ends up dead at the hands of his own people.
