  6. Syrian authorities imposed an overnight curfew in the port city of Latakia on Tuesday after attacks in predominantly Alawite neighborhoods a day prior.

    The interior ministry announced a “curfew in Latakia city, effective from 5:00 p.m. (1400 GMT) on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, until 6:00 am (0300 GMT) on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.”

    Despite assurances from Damascus that all of Syria’s communities will be protected, the country’s minorities remain wary of their future under the new authorities.

  17. "Although the report confirmed the scale of the killings, it framed the story as beginning on 6 March, when Assad loyalists launched an attack, killing security personnel. But to start the story then is to ignore the reasons those who had surrendered and welcomed a new government had taken up arms again."

  20. #Sharaa… has repeatedly vowed to unite all of #Syria's armed forces under one structure & govern the country, fractured by 14 years of civil war until #Assad's overthrow.

    But incidents of sectarian violence, notably the killing of hundreds of pro-Assad #Alawites in March, have hardened fears among minority groups about the now-dominant #Islamists & sparked condemnation from global powers.

  31. Despite making up only 10% of the country’s population, the #Alawites exerted outsized influence during the #Assad family’s >50-yr rule. The Alawites, who practice an offshoot of #Shiite Islam, dominated the #RulingClass & upper ranks of the #military under Assad.

    The new govt called on all members of Assad’s forces to relinquish their ties to the fmr govt & surrender their weapons at “reconciliation centers.” While thousands have taken part in that process, some…have not.
