| Syria today has become hotbed for proxy war between the superpower United States and the erstwhile superpower Russia. The United States and Russia�s involvement in the War, the presence of Islamic State (IS), and the role and stance of regional and global actors on different sides has made Syria the fulcrum of battle for strategic space. The Syrian Civil War is an ongoing conflict between the Government of Bashar Al-Assad and those seeking to oust it�largely, the country�s citizenry. The conflict today has gone beyond the issue of pro- and anti-Assad forces, and spilled over to becoming a sectarian conflict as well, with the nation�s Sunni majority being pitted against the President�s Shia Alawite sect. | ||||||
