The Rebuilding Process - Thinking Beyond Wars (Syria)

As the Syrian war approaches what I presume to be the end stages, the aftermath of a long and bloody battle that probably could have been prevented entirely or from further escalation needs to be addressed early. Rebuilding Syria is one of the few major means of redemption for all parties involved in the interference as well as the glaring incompetency of the UN in handling the War.

The priority placed around the very act of conflict along with the end result carries far too much weight than what is also a very important step - the rebuilding process. It seems countries that suffer from proxy wars and unnecessary interference are all but left on their own when the conflict finally subsides.

Away from the migrant crisis that has carried the bulk of media attention since the wars began, rebuilding will be a long and tedious process derived of any political drama - hence a reduced media attention, which is all the more reason why ensuring that a strategic plan to ensure successful post-conflict rehabilitation is enforced.

The Return of Migrants
Those who seek to return home after fleeing the violence must be encouraged to do so by ensuring they have something to look forward to back home when they do return. Hence, aid efforts must be extended beyond providing food for survival to ensuring that Syria returns to economic prominence.

Protecting Minorities
Minorities must especially be encouraged to return in other to prevent a demographic extinction. Even with the end of wars, vulnerable minorities should be protected by the international community with strong policies in place that ensures a right to their survival. If the goal of war is to spread fear, the rebuilding process must ensure that the fear mongers do not succeed.
