Preparing for Post-War Syria

Will Syrians Live Peacefully Together Again?

Either from exhaustion or by settlement, at some point the conflict in Syria must end. But will Syrians who stood on opposite sides of the civil war then be able to live together peacefully? That question will be at the heart of Syria’s post-war society.

My Thesis: 
Syrians will be able to live peacefully together again, but the impetus most come from the diaspora.
My Argument: 
The last centuries and decades have seen ethnic and confessional tensions in Syria. Still, Damascus, Aleppo, Latakia and other cities were centres of interaction–peacefully most of the time. This heritage is a robust basis to overcome the horrors of the civil war in the long run.

My Thesis: 
Peaceful coexistance will be possible once external stakeholders stop fueling a multi-proxy war.
My Argument: 
The battlefield in Syria as well as the multiple negotiation tables have also been perceived as Russia as an opportunity not only to secure strategic interests in Tartus and Latakiya but also to test the boundaries of international tolerance for increased Russian influence in the Middle East.

My Thesis: 
The civil war in Syria will end and Syria will be divided into parts like Germany was in 1945.
My Argument: 
The situation right now is horrible, that is a fact probably everyone agrees - Russia, the US, whoever. Unfortunately it is a fact, too, that all the participants in this war cannot agree on a solution until now. But I am a positive-minded guy and I really hope to see all Syrians living together peacefully together in their homecountry again, not as refugees in camps all over the world nor in war in Syria.

My Thesis: 
Maybe the war stops, but the hate among the people will last for decades
My Argument: 
The fragmented Syrian society harmed each other so subtantially and deeply that it will take generations to overcome hate and mistrust. By fostering the social separation by the different parties, it is even more unthinkable that Syrians from different social, ethnic and religious groups will live peacefully together
