That's 11k updated through March 15, 2012. The date of the beginning of the death count of the current uprising was March 15, 2011 (although anti Assad protests began in late Jan 2011).
In comparison, the Hama Massacre is estimated at 10k to 40k deaths but was in only a single month (Feb 1982)
The Black September Massacre is estimated at 3k to 10k deaths with most of the fatalities in Sept 1970 but others up until July 1971.
Of course, these are all 'internal'. The Iran-Iraq war of 1980 to 1988 produced 500k to 1M deaths. |
