Syria conflict 10 years on: A decade after uprising, refugees face uncertain future

Description

Syrians are marking 10 years since peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad’s government erupted in March 2011, touching off a popular uprising that quickly turned into a full-blown civil war. The conflict has killed around 400,000 people and displaced half of Syria’s pre-war population of 23 million, including more than 5 million who are refugees, mostly in neighboring countries. FRANCE 24's Clovis Casali reports from Syria's border with Jordan.
