In March 2011, tens of thousands of protestors took to the streets in Syria demanding political reforms and an end to the authoritarian regime of Bashar al-Assad. The government responded by opening fire, leading to a civil war that has lasted for more than two years with over 100,000 deaths and hundreds of thousands displaced. The United States has been supporting the opposition with food and medical aid but refraining from military intervention or providing weapons. However, in June 2013, it was concluded that chemical weapons had been used by the Assad regime, leading to a plan to send weapons to the opposition group, which was vetoed by Congress.
