The death of a country (The Economist)
Hi class,
Syria
The death of a country
A morte de um país
As Syria disintegrates, it threatens the entire Middle East. The outside world needs to act before it is too late
Como a Síria se desintegra, isto ameaça todo o Oriente Médio. O mundo exterior precisa agir antes que seja tarde demais

AFTER the first world war Syria was hacked from the carcass of the Ottoman empire. After the second, it won its independence. After the fighting that is raging today it could cease to function as a state.
DEPOIS da Primeira Guerra Mundial a Síria foi cortada da carcaça do Império Otomano. Após a segunda, ganhou sua independência. Depois da luta que está sendo travada hoje pode deixar de funcionar como um Estado.
As the world looks on (or away), the country jammed between Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Israel is disintegrating. Perhaps the regime of Bashar Assad, Syria’s president, will collapse in chaos; for some time it could well fight on from a fortified enclave, the biggest militia in a land of militias. Either way, Syria looks increasingly likely to fall prey to feuding warlords, Islamists and gangs—a new Somalia rotting in the heart of the Levant.
