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.

#Syria #geopolitics

#Syria 6/6

All options are open today - Syria as a state broken into factions that will fight among themselves to varying degrees. Syria as a federation of #Shiite coastal areas, #Sunni center and #Kurdish north...
Or a unified Syria led by a #democratic #secular government that will be based on respect for human rights and peace treaties with neighbors (#Israel).

One thing is certain, Syria will change.
