Who's arming the Syrian rebels
This map shows how weapons are coming to Syria's rebels. The rebels are getting lots of outside arms and supplies, overwhelmingly from other Middle Eastern countries that want to topple the Syrian government. The US and other Western countries are giving the rebels a little help, but not much; the rebels are mostly supported by the governments of other Sunni Arab countries. As you can see from the map, oil-rich Qatar and Saudi Arabia are the biggest backers (the arms being shipped in from Croatia are thought to be Saudi-bought), along with Turkey. Most of the guns go to Turkey, where the Turkish government helps move them to the rebels. The Jordanian government is also using its border with Syria to truck up weapons for the rebels. Meanwhile, Iran is backing and arming and supplying the Syrian government. This really has become a proxy war between Sunni powers that want a Sunni-run Syria and Shia powers that want to keep Syria's Shia rulers.
