The Syrian War
The Syrian Civil War, also known as the Syrian Uprising[71] or the Syrian Crisis (Arabic: الأزمة السورية),[72] is an ongoing armed conflict in Syria between forces loyal to the Ba'ath government and those seeking to oust it. The unrest began on 15 March 2011, with popular protests that grew nationwide by April 2011. These protests were part of the wider North African and Middle Eastern protest movements known as the Arab Spring. Syrian protesters at first demanded democratic and economic reform within the framework of the existing government.
In April 2011, the Syrian Army was deployed to quell the uprising and soldiers fired on demonstrators across the country.[73] After months of military sieges,[74] the protests evolved into an armed rebellion. The conflict is asymmetrical, with clashes taking place in many towns and cities across the country.[75] The Syrian government is upheld by military support from Russia, which it stepped up in the winter of 2013-2014,[76] - and Iran, while Qatar,Saudi Arabia and United States[77] transfer weapons to the rebels.[78] By July 2013, the Syrian government controls approximately 30–40 percent of the country's territory and 60 percent of the Syrian population.[79] A late 2012 UN report described the conflict as "overtly sectarian in nature"[80] between Alawite shabiha militias and other Shia groups fighting largely against Sunni-dominated rebel groups,[81] though both opposition and government forces denied that.[82][83]
According to the United Nations, the death toll surpassed 100,000 in June 2013, and reached 120,000 by September 2013.[84][85] In addition, tens of thousands of protesters, students, liberal activists and human rights advocates have been imprisoned and there are reports of widespread torture and terror in state prisons.[86] [87] International organizations have accused both government and opposition forces of severe human rights violations.[88] The UN and Amnesty International's inspections and probes in Syria determined both in 2012 and 2013 that the vast majority of abuses are done by the Syrian government, whose are also largest in scale.[89][90][91][92] The severity of the humanitarian disaster in Syria has been outlined by UN and many international organizations. More than four million Syrians have been displaced, more than three million Syrians fled the country and became refugees, and millions more were left in poor living conditions with shortage of food and drinking water. The situation is especially bad in the Palestinian Yarmouk Camp, where currently 20,000 residents are facing death by starvation from a Syrian army enforced blockade.[93][94]
Chemical weapons have also been used in Syria on more than one occasion, triggering strong international reactions.

Philip Seymour Hoffman: as intense in the flesh as on screen
When I met Philip Seymour Hoffman in 2011 I found a man profoundly honest about movies, self-loathing and his struggles with addiction

2NA - Northern Ireland - The Conflict
The Troubles (Irish: Na Trioblóidí) is the common name for the ethno-nationalist[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] conflict in Northern Ireland that spilled over at various times into the Republic of Ireland, England and mainland Europe. The Troubles began in the late 1960s and is considered by many to have ended with the Belfast Good Friday Agreement of 1998.[14][15][16][17][18] However, sporadic violence has continued since then.[15][19][20]
The conflict was primarily a political one, but it also had an ethnic or sectarian dimension,[21] although it was not a religious conflict.[22] The key issues at stake were the constitutional status of Northern Ireland and the relationship between its two main communities, which are, on one side, Unionists and loyalists – who mostly come from the Protestant community and generally want Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom, and, on the other side, Irish nationalists and republicans – who mostly come from the Catholic community and generally wanted to leave the United Kingdom and join a united Ireland. The former generally see themselves as British and the latter generally see themselves as Irish. The main participants in the Troubles were republican paramilitaries (such as the Provisional IRA), loyalist paramilitaries (such as the UVF and UDA), the British state security forces (the British Army and the RUC, Northern Ireland's police force), and political activists and politicians. The Republic of Ireland's security forces played a smaller role. More than 3,500 people were killed in the conflict.
