It is not surprising that 85% of Syrians live below the poverty level. Dozens of cities (2 million buildings) and infrastructures have been ruined, with the overwhelming part of oil and gas extraction capacities being in the hands of the Islamic State militants. Life expectancy of those who are still in the country has decreased from 70 to 55 years.Economy: 85% of total population is below poverty levelFive years of war cost Syria a $255 billion economic damage. Summing up the killed, wounded and those who fled the country, one can say that Syria has lost nearly a quarter of its population.

Due to the war-caused power vacuum in many territories and the connivance of the Middle East and Western countries, ISIL has turned into the most dangerous for the world order army of terrorists that has grown many thousand strong within a few months. Now, the Islamic State that is banned in Russia poses a threat to the world, while not so long ago, at the very beginning of the Syrian conflict, it was just a not large coalition of Islamic fundamentalists advocating for recreation of the “caliphate” in al-Shām (Syria). Nearly 90% of production facilities and half of the residential buildings have been destroyed.The first in history terror state has emerged while the Middle East monarchies, Turkey and the West are trying to overthrow Bashar al-Assad through a bloody war. Now, after five years of the civil war, it has shrunk to US$27 billion. Abdullah al-Dardari, the ex-vice-president of Syria, Deputy Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, says Syria’s GDP amounted to US$62 billion in 2010. To restore Syria, at least $100 billion will be needed annually, says Alexander Dynkin, Director of the Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations.Only in nine years, the country will be able to reach the level of 2010.

Involving in the war and enlisting the support of some other countries of the Middle East and Turkey, Jihadists have made the Islamic public believe that the conflict is a religious war of the true believer and humble Sunnites against unfaithful Shiites and Alawites. This questions the current ceasefire and complicates the conflict’s resolution. The Syrian wing of Jabhat al-Nusra and its allies operated successfully in the conflict and has become the striking force of the “moderate opposition” within the five years of the war in Syria. The terror group has not abandoned its plans to recreate the medieval Islamic caliphate. And Europe killed more than 200 people last year alone.This has reanimated Al Qaeda – the terrorist organization the terror attacks of which on Septemlet U.S.

Europe has faced migration crisis and occurred on the verge of collapse. Last year alone, 900,000 migrants arrived in Europe, and another 100,000 have already arrived since the beginning of 2016. Is far and separated by the ocean, while the EU has already tasted the fruits of its “democracy” in the Middle East.

The latest inflow of migrants has even resulted in bacchanalias like the incident that happened on the New Year Eve in Köln. The culture and lifestyle of refugees so strange to the Old World has already led to Islamization and growing crime rate in the EU. Greece – the main country to bear the brunt of migrants – can no longer withstand the refugee flows, while many other European countries openly oppose Brussel’s refugee quotas.The reason is not just refugee flows and expenses.

According to The Antiquities Coalition, a U.S.-based NGO, hundreds of historical and cultural sights having a history of five thousand years have been either damaged or fully destroyed during the five years of the war in Syria. Further Islamization of the Old World due to the unwillingness of the refugees to adjust makes it more attractive for expansion of terrorists.What is nearly impossible to restore in Syria is cultural and historical monuments destroyed mostly by Jihadists. As one could see in Paris attacks, they return to Europe and create terror networks. Two rapes were registered then.The Arab Spring had another consequence for the EU – nearly five thousand of the EU citizens have joined “Jihad” in Syria and Iraq. Reuters reported that the Police registered 600 claims by the attacked women, with sexual assaults accounting for 40% of total attacks.

In Rakka, which is considered the capital city of the Islamists, the terrorists destroyed basalt statues of lions dating back to the 8th century BC. In total, extremists have destroyed over 50 tombs in the territories they controlled in Syria. It was one of the two tombs the ISIL terrorists exploded in Palmira. For instance, the tomb of Mohammed bin Ali – one of the most honored figures in Shia Islam and Prophet’s cousin.

They even burnt icons for heat.Yet these are not all the cultural and historical losses Syria has suffered during the last five years. Jabhat al-Nusra militants, Syrian wing of Al –Qaeda destroyed the interior of the ancient Christian monastery. Thekla’s Monastery in Maalul. The deadly battles of the government troops and “moderate opposition” have seriously damaged ancient mosques in Aleppo and Daraa dating back to the 7th century.One of the “brightest successes” of “moderate opposition” was the attack on St.
