What are all the problems associated with the crisis in Syria? Humanitarian Geopolitical Political Economic

Responses by UN or Individual Countries Sanctions Support for Assad Support for Rebels No-fly Zone Ground Troops Safe-Zones Others…?

Understanding the Challenges What does Assad want? What are the goals of ISIS? What role do the Shia and Sunni sects of Islam play in the civil war? How can humanitarian aid be provided without favoring any one side? How should destination countries handle refugees? How should life for civilians in Syria be restored?

Problems with letting the crisis continue... Social pressures in countries receiving migrants. Civilian deaths from starvation and disease. Destroyed infrastructure which makes rebuilding impossible. Rogue government(s) with weapons. ISIS and al Qaeda (JFS) controlling areas.
