Syria war: Assad under pressure as economic crisis spirals

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-53020105

"Protesters are back on the streets in southern Syria, where the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad started in 2011.

They are not mass demonstrations, as they were back then, but the slogans are the same.

The old grievances have never gone away. This time, the edge comes from a lack of food.

The country is more closed than ever to foreign journalists, but all the measures of misery suggest hard lives are getting even worse.

The war is not over and it has already lasted almost as long as the two World Wars combined. ...."

Going to be a bigger flood of refugees in not too long. The UN will be clambering for nations like the US to take them in.

Time to just say NO!
