From social uprising to civil war, Syria has one of the most complex narratives of the Arab Spring, a fractured society with a myriad of viewpoints but seemingly no solutions. As the battle for Aleppo drags on neither Assad’s forces or the loose umbrella of the Free Syrian Army appears to have the ability to win decisively. The conflict becomes increasingly radicalized and the population becomes further divided. This reportage is a view of Syrian life on the edge, as Aleppo, the largest city and commercial capital of the country, slides deeper into the abyss.
