I often ask myself when the Syrian war will end. When studying conflict resolution I took huge interest in brainstorming on possible ways ending the Syrian war can be achieved. David L. Phillips had suggested that Syria’s violent conflict will stop when combatants realize an end-state that preserves their core interests. He opined that The United States can advance a settlement by presenting a proposal to the country’s warring factions, which devolves power from the central government to Syria’s regions. Adding that Cooperation through the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) can be preferable, but the U.S. must be prepared to act on its own if ISSG members, especially Russia, are obstructing progress.
Don't we all see wisdom in his suggestion?
