Syria: A propaganda poster for Syria's powerful military, Damascus. The majority of the soldiers in the Syrian armed forces are Alawites, like President Bashar Al-Assad. Alawites make up 7 percent of the Syrian population but are estimated to make up 70 percent of the career soldiers in the Syrian army. Of the 200,000 or so career soldiers in the Syrian army 140,000 are Alawites. A similar imbalance is seen in the officer corps where some 80 percent of the officers are Alawites. The military’s most elite division, the Republican Guard, and the 4th Mechanized Division are exclusively Alawite.

Syria: The ruins of ancient Palmyra appear through the early morning mist. Palmyra was an ancient city in Syria. It was an important city in central Syria, located in an oasis 215 km northeast of Damascus and 180 km southwest of the Euphrates at Deir ez-Zor. It had long been a vital caravan city for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The earliest documented reference to the city by its Semitic name Tadmor, Tadmur or Tudmur (which means 'the town that repels' in Amorite and 'the indomitable town' in Aramaic) is recorded in Babylonian tablets.
