Hi! I’m currently in an Intro to Peace Studies college course and our final is coming up. For it, we have each selected countries engaged in a current civil war to draft a peace agreement for. I have chosen Myanmar. Throughout the agreement we must use at least 20 sources (most being apart from news coverage or news media websites). I was hoping for some help with resources and ideas for creating peace in Myanmar. ANYTHING HELPS!!
We have created a new subreddit specifically for Syrian civil war news, it is called r/KurdistanNews. Please join us on the new subreddit. The old r/syriancivilwar subreddit was extremely biased against Turkey and the Syrian Arab Republic and Russia; if you said a single negative thing about the Kurdish (American/Israeli backed) groups or Israel/USA, you were automatically banned or shadowbanned. My subreddit is more open towards the Turkish perspective; and news that agrees with Russia/Iran/SAR is allowed. It is a much cleaner, and more neutral space in general
The head moderator of r/syriancivilwar was also proven to be a sexist incel, who wants to rape women. He can't even find a girlfriend or wife, so he has to resort to fantasizing about raping an innocent woman online. Is a rapist really someone you would trust to give you the truth, and not simply spin lies about the wars in the middle east? It's obvious to us, that the mods on r/syriancivilwar are liars, and shadowban and remove articles that do not go along with their own agenda. But the link below is proof that the head mod is or wants to be a rapist; it was taken from their own subreddit.

Through time, it has becomes obvious that r/syriancivilwar is an information campaign designed to steer public opinion in favor of US/Israeli policies in Syria. There was an article written about this very topic, which proves that various governments want to promote their own interests online through the use of social media, brainwashing, and propaganda. This includes Reddit as well.

The moderators on r/syriancivilwar are nothing but thieves, and have stolen several subreddits that promoted independent news, such as r/SyrianCivilWarNews and r/SyrianOpposition, by having the moderators of those subreddits banned for technicalities, and then requesting those subreddits via r/redditrequest. The r/syriancivilwar subreddit is also guilty of brigading r/syriancivilwarnews, as can be obviously observed by simply viewing that subreddit.
Here is a copy of a post from a mod of r/SyrianCirclejerkWar (which is where the mods and prominent members of r/syriancivilwar post their memes) which states why he targeted another subreddit that disagreed with his.

It is funny, the mods of r/syriancivilwar act like some kind of neutral humanitarian Gods that help the "poor oppressed Kurds", yet they go around trying to steal other people's subreddits that don't agree with their views, and shadowbanning everyone that doesn't agree with them on their own subbreddit. Take a look at the head mod of r/syriancivilwar Twitter account. It's all pro-Kurdish YPG/PKK/USA/Israel. Not biased...?

Also, make sure to see what the "humble" mods of r/syriancivilwar wrote after taking over r/SyrianOpposition. Riiight, totally not an information campaign trying to destroy internet forums that disagree with you...
And look here, the poor humanitarian YPG Subreddit head mod begs for money. Can't find a real job, bro? You need to fool people to fund your pro-Israeli/pro-USA information campaign? "I'm a poor YPG in North Syria, send me sum moneyyyzz so I can halp poor Kurdish PKK groups." Yeah right...

Here are the same r/syriancivilwar mods trying to steal r/syriancivilwarnews after they managed to ban the head mod on those subreddits. In the end, they managed to steal that subreddit from it's rightful owners.
On r/syriancivilwarnews, they managed to do a strawpoll, right before it was taken over by the r/syriancivilwar goons. As can be seen, a high proportion of people voted that they have been harassed by the r/syriancivilwar mods sometime in the past.
As a bonus, here are two videos from our r/syriancivilwar moderators' talking about 4Chan. As you can see, he lives in an absolute slum, drinks an unhealthy amount of alcohol and also grows Cannabis for a living. He even jokes about being paid by the CIA, while showing off his small cannabis growing operation.

In closing, please leave r/syriancivilwar, which is an outright information campaign funded or inspired by some Israeli/US think tank, and join us at the truly neutral and open and free r/KurdistanNews. We really care about the middle east, and we aren't some paid Israeli thugs growing and selling weed to little kids, in an attempt to destroy a random countries with drugs.

Please join our subreddit, and get a fresh take on the American backed Kurds in Syria. The Kurdish groups in Syria, which are backed by the USA, have regularly genocided Christians, and have taken many young people into slavery. The Kurds in Syria do not care about the people of Syria, and will do whatever disgusting atrocities possible, in order to fulfill their own greed and to try to maintain their brutal dictatorship, which is masked as a "democracy" by the mainstream media. The Syrian "Democratic" Forces, are in fact no different to Al-Quaeda or other terrorist groups, and the SDF organization should surrender to the true and elected Syrian government, or be destroyed.
Here is a link to our subreddit:
We recently created a new subreddit specifically for Middle Eastern geopolitics and news, which also covers the global ramifications of events which take place in the middle east. Feel free to join our subreddit, and get many new and different perspective on events that take place in the Middle East.
Here is a link to our subreddit.
I recently made a new unbiased subreddit for Syrian Civil War news. It is a more open Syrian civil war subreddit than other Syrian civil war subreddits that tend to be more pro-Kurd or pro-Israel/USA. My subreddit is also for broader geopolitical news that is related to various countries that support the government and proxy forces in Syria.
Here it is: r/syriancivilwarnews
I get upset when people are dumb- when I encounter bigots, racists, homophobes or sexist persons I experience a strange sense of intense compassion. I know that violence won’t solve anything, so I wish I could take their Hand and lead them to a place of mediation and understanding. Everyone comes from different backgrounds- some people choose to be bigots, but most of the time they are born into it- groomed for prejudice just as one is groomed to participate in religion by their parents or their community. They’re taught not to question it. They’re told that anything else is bad- that it’s a sin even to consider the alternatives. I wish I could go into their brain and push on its walls till they’re forced to expand their thoughts. I wish I could remove the fear from their hearts and replace it with love. I wish I could wrap my arms around them and bear hug them till the stupid is squeezed out. Unfortunately, personal growth can not be forced. Some people will never change, but I can’t give up hope.
I am a graduate student of Peace & Conflict Studies and I read a variety of sources to stay up to date on a bunch of global and regional conflicts. I wanted to know, where do you go for news and updates related to peace building and conflicts? Do you have specific sources that you use, or specific individuals who regularly report on this that you trust?
Any info on cost of fuel, maintenance, miles/Km per gallon/liter would be so appreciated!!
