When is the Syrian War ever going to end?

What is it about?

The conflict in Syria has been going on for more than half a decade. Like a whirlpool, this conflict has pulled in everyone in the area deep in the abyss of tragic and prolonged entanglement. The conflict is so catastrophic that more than 200,000 people have been killed, over four million seek refuge abroad and approximately eight million are displaced internally while about 12 million inside Syria are in need of humanitarian assistance. State infrastructure is severely damaged.

Why is it important?

What is puzzling is why the Assad Regime, the ruling party, fails to end the conflict nor be defeated by it, though factors pointed to the Regime's success. Do regional, global interventions or domestic politics contributed more to the state it is in now.
