  1. I usually don't post about politics in this account, but ...

    These days mark the first anniversary of the horrific massacres (more like a genocidal campaign) committed against the #Alawites communities in #Syria by barbaric forces aligned with the de facto Syrian "government" (formerly the members of #ISIS, #HTS, and #AlQaeda) that is backed by #Turkey, #Qatar, #SaudiArabia, and western countries, primarily the #US. All these countries are complicit in these crimes.

    Crimes against members of these communities and other minorities sadly continue to this day, which include systemic killings, rape, abductions, and forced marriages.

    May the victims and their families find justice and peace soon.

    “Fast forward to today, & courtesy of #HTS, the British-created #FSP [Free Syria Police] is now Syria’s national police force. Ever since #Assad’s fall, they have acted accordingly, brutally repressing internal dissent, while standing by as the new government’s militants massacre #Alawites and other #religious #minorities in the country”

  8. #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.

  9. "Under Ahmad al-Sharaa's direction, Syria’s new Islamist leaders are systematically sidelining Palestinian factions, favoring the US-backed PA, dismantling Iran-linked groups, and reshaping refugee dynamics in alignment with a broader US-backed strategy to neutralize the Palestinian resistance": thecradle.co/articles/how-syri

  10. "An estimated 1,400 people were killed. Where are we now with this complex and fragile peace in Syria? Are we looking at the country sliding into another civil war? And what is life like under the new government? We're joined by #JosephDaher, a Swiss-Syrian academic who specialises in the political economy of the #MiddleEast."

    Who are the #Alawites, and is #Syria on the brink of more violence?

  11. 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.

  16. Trouble ahead: Dictatorial coalition of Russia, Iran & Syria's al Assad teaming up to drive U.S. forces out of Syria.

    "The mobilization of pro-regime forces in eastern Syria has already led to clashes between pro-regime and SDF forces. Iranian and Russian information campaigns are amplifying rumors of International Coalition attacks into Syrian regime territory and stoking local tensions. Both dynamics are consistent with Iranian, Russian, and Syrian regime plans to cultivate a grassroots opposition to carry out attacks against the United States in Syria."
