Excerpt
The violent conflict in Syria, akin to a civil war, is changing the regional security dynamics in unpredictable ways. Reportedly, 20,000-30,000 people may have been killed in the conflict that began over a year ago. The Syrian government and its army are involved in fighting opposition forces that are being openly supported by its neighbours and Arabs in particular. Refugees have crossed over to Turkey, Jordan and other countries. Rampant external involvement is making the conflict intractable.
