The uprising and subsequent civil war in Syria has not only devastated that country but has become a theatre of war for competing local, regional and imperialist powers. The recent direct military intervention of Russia has led to a realignment of some of these forces. The losers of this war have been working class people in Syria whose society has been devastated. This crisis is also having increasing internal effects in Turkey where repression against workers and activists keeps increasing. Workers around the world need to organise and fight against repression, imperialist wars and the War on Terror.
