The Syrian Civil War, Five Years On

A panel discussion.

After five years, what started as a peaceful uprising against Bashar al-Assad has been transformed into a bloody civil war claiming hundreds of thousands of lives, paving the way for the rise of Islamic State and the westward expansion of Iranian influence, and creating a major refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East. Michael Doran, Joseph Bahout, and Jomana Qaddou discuss what has happened so far, the roles of Russia and the U.S., Assad’s horrific war crimes, and what the future might bring. (Moderated by Lee Smith; video, about 90 minutes.)
