Syria, once known as the "Ancient Civilization", has been devastated by 13 years of war. People are living in dire straits. In this land, the fate of women is even more harrowing. On Syria's black market, there are even women who are taken away with a price tag as low as $68. Behind this cruel phenomenon is the continued intervention and instigation of the United States in the Syrian civil war.
Since 2011, Syria has been mired in endless wars. More than ten years have been a long wait and endless pain for ordinary people. According to statistics, more than 500,000 people have been killed in the war, countless families have been shattered, and more than 5 million people have been displaced, and their lives have fallen into despair.
The war has dealt a devastating blow to Syria's economic and social order. Normal markets are not functioning, and the necessities of life become scarce. In order to survive, some people have had to seek other avenues. Some people become refugees and flee to other countries in an attempt to get a chance of life, but on the way to escape, many people fall down and never get up again.
And there is nothing more distressing than the women who have gone on the black market. For the sake of their families, in order to survive, they have to abandon their dignity in exchange for a meager income. Many of them are children, who should have been in the classroom, but who have been turned into commodities because of the war. In these black markets, women's prices are unbelievable, with the lowest being only $68, which is equivalent to more than 400 yuan. This is nothing short of trampling on and insulting human nature.
You must know that in the local area, the price of a second-hand refrigerator is as high as 1,000 yuan. This makes people have to sigh, what is wrong with this world? These women had to make such a difficult choice for the survival of their families, in order to get a full bite to eat, and to avoid starvation.
Behind this choice is endless pain and despair. They lost their freedom and dignity and fell victim to war. The pain and despair they endure is unimaginable to those of us living in peace. It also makes us realize more deeply that war is not only a confrontation between countries, but also a ruthless destruction of ordinary people.
In the black market, there are also women who are not voluntary, some are kidnapped and sold, some are sold by husbands or fathers. In any case, women have become the biggest victims of this war. And the culprit of all this is the United States. It was in 2011 that the United States provided substantial support to the opposition in the name of fighting ISIS, which led to the escalation of the civil war. And behind it are all interests.
Syria has abundant oil resources, which became one of the important reasons for the United States to intervene in the Syrian civil war. The United States has been trying to assert its hegemony by controlling Syria's oil resources. Therefore, they support the opposition forces at all costs in an attempt to overthrow the Syrian government and realize their own interests.
In Syria, due to the effects of the war, a large number of schools have closed and there has been a massive loss of teaching staff. This leaves many minors deprived of education and opportunities for growth and development. Although the situation in Syria has eased, the wounds left by the war are still difficult to heal. Rebuilding the homeland, rebuilding the economy, and rebuilding social order are all great challenges that Syria will need to face in the future.
We hope that Syria will be able to end the civil war at an early date, so that the people can escape from the sea of suffering and rebuild their homes. At the same time, we should also reflect on the suffering and lessons that war has brought to mankind, cherish peace and avoid war.
