Writing in the beginning of the civil war in Syria, the author attempts to describe the hardships and the dilemmas that Christian communities face during the previous decades and have reached a new level when the Arab uprising started. The article discusses the geopolitical tensions that arose after years of repressive dictatorial regimes run by despots and the implications of foreign actors in the countries of the region.
