| Summary/Abstract |
The conflict in Syria has changed significantly since the first signs of an armed insurgency began to emerge in late May 2011. While the largely nationalistminded Free Syrian Army (FSA) gradually devolved into an amorphous gathering of locally focused militia units with minimal command links to a leadership in Turkey, the capabilities and influence of Salafist and Sunni
jihadist groups expanded considerably.

| Summary/Abstract |
The carnage in Syria continues and is intensifying as Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship pushes on in its countrywide effort to destroy the armed resistance against it. It appears increasingly likely that the struggle can only be settled by force. Either the dictator will crush the rebellion or the regime will fall. As a result, the rebel Free Syrian Army, as the armed element among the opposition, is playing an increasingly important role in the uprising. Yet who composes this group, and what does it stand for? How does it fit in the larger rebellion against Assad? And, perhaps most crucially, is it an appropriate recipient for Western aid in the near future?

| Summary/Abstract |
The civil war raging between Syrian president Al-Assad's government forces and free Syrian army and other insurgent groups has produced the most serious potential CBRN crisis since preparations for Operation Deserts Strom in 1991, when Iraq was know to possess chemical and biological weapons on launchable munitions, such as short range SCUD missiles, and before that, in the Iran-Iraq war, when CW were deployed by both sides.

| Summary/Abstract |
"We Arabs," the late Lebanese historian Kamal Salibi once said to me in Beirut, "are not a warring people. We are a feuding people." That's generally true. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict looks far more like a Northern Ireland-style feud than a real war of the sort that tore apart the former Yugoslavia. The same goes for the chronic yet sporadic clashes in parts of Yemen, Libya, and Lebanon.

| Summary/Abstract |
With all of Syria engulfed since spring 2011 in spiraling destruction, the fate of the
country's small Palestinian population receives scant attention. This report
focuses on that community through the lens of Damascus's Yarmuk camp, the
largest Palestinian concentration in the country. Starting with the 2011 Nakba
and Naksa Day demonstrations, the report provides a detailed account of how
the camp has lived the turmoil, highlighting in particular its determined efforts
to preserve its neutrality and the factors that ultimately led to the fatal entry of
the Free Syrian Army (FSA) into Yarmuk in December 2012. The ethnographic
portrait of Syria's Palestinians before the uprising, their life in the camp
(including the role of the factions), their privileges and unique integration, makes
what the author sees as the destruction of the community even more tragic.
