Those civil wars are horrible indeed. No need to taint the news with comments which are polarising like "black & white", or last century rhetoric imo. Death will take us all. Also, to quote a little part from the article, and to give a bit of depth and balance to some of the comments:

"After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the number of wars fell sharply. So, too, did the estimated number of deaths in battle. But after 2011 came a third wave. Both the number of wars and their deadliness increased, as the Arab spring led to conflagrations in the Middle East, a new form of jihadism spread across the Muslim world and Vladimir Putin resurrected old-fashioned Russian imperialism.
