El conflicto en Siria: Crónica de una crisis humanitaria bajo tensiones globales

Abstract

Professor Ricardo García Duarte analyzes the complex reality of the war in Syria after seven years of conflict, highlighting the inefficacy of ceasefires due to the overlapping interests of powers such as Russia, Iran, and the United States. The analysis underscores how the presence of the Islamic State and ethnic tensions involving the Kurdish people have degraded the conflict, turning it into a humanitarian tragedy with no clear diplomatic solution in the short term, while the al-Assad regime consolidates its position with international support.

On the other hand, the Rector examines the crisis of identity and governance within the European Union, epitomized by Angela Merkel's struggles to form a government in Germany and the rise of right-wing nationalist populism following the migration crisis. Finally, he addresses the "Never Again" student movement in the United States, which emerged as an unprecedented civil response against the unregulated sale of high-caliber weapons, challenging the political influence of the National Rifle Association and establishing a new electoral horizon in response to the controversial proposals of the Trump administration
