  1. Numbers are still being figured out. the source cited has a history of being unreliable. but far too much death

    Assad insurgents were primarily wearing civilian clothing making figuring out who is a civilian or not difficult for counting. Assad insurgents killed both government forces , Sunni and Alawite civilians in un- uniformed ambushes

    Syrian president has condemned field executions and civilian killings . they already arrested several Sunni militants

    what happened is that Assad insurgents assinated police keeping order and put six hospitals under siege killing several doctors. this led to a massive mobilization of Sunni factions from across the country. They were extremely angry and feared that it was a coup to bring Assad back

    Worst abuses are largely from sna and reconcililed rebel factions . Just alot of anger and little discipline. would have better to keep them out but insurgents had taken alot of territory and hostages

    It took a few hours , but the government was able to establish control and stem the abuses

    Over 120 government forces ended up killed. So there is a gigantic amount of anger across the country towards Alawites. feeling that the government was far too soft and that Alawites as a whole needs to be de nazified. that they didn’t deserve the general amnesties and that Alawite villages are responsible for harboring insurgents

    Government is stationing alot of troops to protect Alawite neighborhoods from further retaliation . Pro assad remnants have resumed their attacks on Latakia hospital

    But basically, there is a lot of hate and distrust between sunnis and Alawites due to the war where assad promoted sectarian violence by Alawites on sunnis, to ensure Alawites support for them. Sunnis retaliated in return feeding the fear and angry

    It’s going take time to heal. And syria is still struggling to turn all the factions into a proper military with discipline. not helped by the economy being shit due to sanctions so new recruits aren’t being paid

    Ultimately, everyone needs to figure out what their red lines are and actually stick to them. Thinking this shit’s gonna be nice and clean is big time delusional

    Jihadi regime behaves like Jihadi regime. But surely this ex terrorist leader is different. 🤡 🤡 Says the deluded westerner that really doesn’t understand the depth of hatred jihadis have for anyone not them…
