1. I have seen this so many other places, this kind of uprising that happens after a police shooting.

2. Syrian refugees have overwhelmed Lebanon since their uprising began three years ago.

3. Around the same time, the uprising in Syria began.

4. The UN says more than 70,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began.

5. Since the 2011 uprising when police were pulled from the streets, security in Egypt has been feeble.
