I do not listen to the news. They are mostly fake. One day the gov't said were winning. The next day my sister escaped from some town and told me they are losing (she have a contactwith the military and they told her there is no food and losing). So the news is mostly untrustworthy. But my friend preferred to check bbc they don't have a lot of stake here so they might not lie that much. I prefer to ask around people who has family there. Don't worry too much about it it might take 10 -20 Years to resolve.
