Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Syria conflict:
76,000 die in deadliest year – activists
What made so many
people dead in a year? There were uprisings against the regime a few years ago.
Now there are more serious battles in the country against brutal and ruthless Islamic
State, or IS, that kills anyone who doesn’t follow their beliefs and
activities. More government soldiers, civilians and other militants were killed
than IS soldiers, bringing the total deaths to slightly higher than the
previous year to a little over 76,000.
There are other numbers
that cast a shadow over the country where Bashar al-Assad still holds the presidency
despite the criticism against his tyranny. Over half of the country’s
population is under severe poverty and half of the children don’t attend school.
Who should be the leader of such a devastated country?
Read and think what
the situation of this country this year and the future of the people will be
like.
