The price of freedom

Select one question and prepare your response. Use additional research in yourresponse. 1. The war in Syria has led the government to create a policy that identifies all men between the ages of 15 and 55 as possible fighters. Accordingly, the males in Syria are conscripted to fight on behalf of the government, in spite of their beliefs or politics. Examine the policy and make comparisons to the actions taken in Liberia and Sierra Leone to obtain fighters in their civil wars. What is your opinion of the methods used to avoid conscription? Should the men of Syria feel constrained to flee from their homes to avoid fighting on behalf of the government? 2. In this primarily Muslim country, describe the effects of attempted emigration from Syria to other countries of the region. Explain the role of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) on those male members of the population who are not loyal to the resistance. Can you compare these actions to those of LURD in Liberia? The UN has attempted in different ways to intervene in the civil conflict. What is their role and how can they influence the outcome of the war? Explore the UN’s Responsibility to Protect.
