What are the Causes of Syrian Uprising?

Introduction

The Syrian uprising started off gradually with a small protest in Damascus, and caught snowball effect with the detention of teenage threatening graffitists in Daraa, against the prevailing regime. This led to a tremendous change in the decline of prevailing reign that inspired a successful military reaction that took place over just a few periods and gradually took across the nation with still no obvious end in perspective.

The Tsunami effect of Arab Spring all through Tunisia also indicates that Ben Ali though tried to retain his power but not for long and quietly leaves the throne with his closest allies particularly the family members. But there are two interesting features in Tunisia: the peoples' upsurge were led by the youth community as the front runner with the organized civil society groups behind, and (2) yet there are any symptoms to be seen that the interim government has created certain congenial environment to take the country after election toward building democracy in the country.
