zReportage.com Story of the Week #780: TUESDAY March 30, 2021: SYRIA Decade of WAR by Le Pictorium photographer Chloe Shamrock who specializes on Middle-East Issues: It has been 10 years since the start of the Syrian uprisings and the country is still mired in a war that has displaced millions and killed hundreds of thousands. In early 2011, a wave of pro-democracy uprisings swept the world, especially in the Middle East. In Syria, what began a decade ago turned into a civil war that is still going on. Raqqa, situated on the Euphrates River in Syria’s north, was the first governorate capital to fall under opposition control after the start of the Syrian uprising. In 2014, the city was captured by ISIS, who declared it their capital, then was subsequently devastated by US-led coalition air raids during the anti-ISIL operations. According to some estimates, between 70 and 80 percent of the city was destroyed, and its infrastructure almost completely wiped out. A surge of COVID infections has made life even more difficult for war-weary families. Welcome to: SYRIA Decade of WAR
