Assad Election Ploys Has The United Nations Concerned.

The United Nations has gently tried to turn its focus back to Syria to warn about illegal voting practices. The United Nations says that conditions for returns to Syria are not yet fulfilled, more than ten years into a conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and driven more than half the pre-war population from their homes. 

In a report the United nations has cited the unavailability and lack of opportunity for all citizens to vote especially in certain regions of Syria and mainly in areas where the "Scorched Earth" campaign was waged. They also noted that in cities outside of Damascus where there was a high death toll and high incarceration rates of citizens there is in fact a significant shortage of equal rights when it comes to voting. Furthermore the United Nations has identified places where currently there are governmental and Russian fatal hostilities, damages, and displacements events daily. The United Nations has also noted the refugee camps that people were placed in years before are still the center of life for many families without an end in sight.
