The Free Syrian Army is another set of army defenders that depose Assad by force.  Riad al-Asad led the Free Syrian Army. The Free Syrian Army argue that they have 15,000 fighters, but analysts suggest that they are no more than 7000.

These include limitations on foreign aid, defense exports, and air travel of Syrian airplanes in United States. It also reduced diplomatic ties, enforced travel bans on Syrians diplomats, froze overseas transactions in Syrian property and many other miscellaneous restrictions.

In the recent crisis in Syria, thousands of Muslims died and many are homeless. There is shortage of food and medicines for the victims and many houses are destroyed. Now it’s time to resolve the crisis of Syria. The international community needs to create a proper plan for an orderly transfer of power from the majority to the minorities on an equal basis. In Syria, the only condition of peace is the equal transfer of rights among human beings. There should be no difference on the basis of caste. Equality is necessary for peace.
