As Syria simmers with a civil war going into its third year, and rivers of blood continue to flow through the land, increasing numbers of Britons are travelling to Syria. The Syrian Civil War is between two warring sides.

On one side are rebels who want to oust President Bashar Assad and bring the regime down. They are up against fighters loyal to Assad (the Govt) and his regime. By July 2012, there were 16,000 people killed and today, the toll is much more.

The British government has told its citizens not to go to Syria, but many British fighters remain defiant. The UK authorities argue that Britons may be radicalised by what they see if they go to Syria. The UK government has threatened to seize the passport of anyone ignoring these warnings.
