Syria revolution: 12 years on, a divided nation and broken economy

Al Jazeera, 15 Mar 2023
It has been 12 years since peaceful protests began in Syria calling for the removal of President Bashar al-Assad.
The uprising turned into a civil war and proxy war involving regional powers.
Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and millions remain displaced.
But al-Assad remains in power.
