Sebastian junger: When a
society collapses into anarchy
And violence, civilians
inevitably take matters
Into their own hands.
They form armed militias.
They put up
checkpoints and roadblocks.
They kill or expel anyone
in the area who might threaten
Their grip on power.
Sebastian junger: In
that kind of environment,
Radical ideologies are
almost guaranteed to take hold.
Radicalism
depends on desperation.
It depends on grievance.
And it then provides its
Corruption and the
violence that afflict much
Of the world.
Sebastian junger: People will
always turn to radicalism once
They have exhausted
every other option.
Militant:
Allahu akbar,allahu akbar.
Sebastian junger: They have to.
Their very
survival is at stake.
Robin yassin kassab: At first it
wasn't a revolutionary movement.
They weren't calling for
the fall of the regime or
The execution
of the president.
Robin ysssin kassab:
It was very simple.
"we want our
children to be released."
They were
calling for dignity,
Which is important
Were used to being
humiliated and pushed around.
Sarah chayes:
It's reallyremarkable the degree to which
Corruption has played an
important role in driving a
Variety of security crises
that had been breaking out in
The last five to ten years.
Every single one of the
arab spring revolutions was
Explicitly an
anti-corruption revolution.
These were countries run
by extremely sophisticated
And successful
criminal organizations.
The people who are paid to
uphold the law are the very
Ones violating it.
It's humiliating.
Tunisia catches fire.
Libya catches fire.
Egypt catches fire.
Bashar al-assad looks
at that and says,
"I'll be damned."
So he was willing
to respond to peaceful
Demonstrations with
maximal use of force.
Sarah chayes:
Thebet that he made was
"there's, at this
point, no compromising
With this movement so
if I wanna stay in power,
I have to absolutely
take it to the limit."
Robin yassin kassab:
Very quickly we got into this
Cycle of protests that
To funerals the next day.
The funerals
became bigger protests.
The demands, then,
began to get bigger.
Social justice and freedom,
an end to corruption.
with more and more violence.
Zaidoun al-zoabi: I
participated in demonstrations
And I was
detained twice afterwards.
In that jail, I
witnessed at least the death
Of 80 people who died
just because of the conditions.
There was no oxygen,
there was no medicine.
There was no space for you.
You can't sleep,
there's no sleep.
Wardens did not
have to beat us.
We used to do it
to each other.
You know, just like a couple
of rats put in a small, small,
Small space, and we were,
we were just biting each other.
It is a factory of terrorism.
Leave as a terrorist.
Linda ibrahim:
I was almost 16, 17
When the
revolution started.
I wanted to do something.
I mean, I wanted to
participate in demonstrations.
I wanted these
things to stop.
Emely issa:
That night,I told them you are young
and we don't know yet how will
The regime
behave against you.
I was afraid
they will shoot.
They will shoot.
I tried, but they
insisted so I told them
"okay, I will
be in front of you.
I will be the first, but you
have to follow my instructions."
Emely issa:
If god gaveme 1,000 years to live,
I will never
forget that sound.
Linda ibrahim:
Whenyou see such sufferings,
