Christ. This sort of targeted religious violence against non-Sunnis is exactly the sort of thing which Assad insisted would happen, in order to motivate Alawites to continue supporting his regime. This is almost sure toy going to breath life back into Syrian Ba’athism as a political movement (especially in combination with Sharaa’s extremely unpopular non-response to the Israeli invasion), and put a damper on any efforts to get international sanctions lifted. Shit like this seriously risks reigniting civil war.

Rip the hopes and dreams of liberalism in Syria 2025-2025.
But in all seriousness this feels like a prelude to an Iraq style stagnation where sectarian violence becomes the norm and the central state is too weak to impose social order.

Innocent civilians being killed in an “ex-jihadi” regime. Who could have foreseen this when the “ex-jihadi” led consortium marched into the capital? Was this inevitable?
I can only pray that any killings of civilians, children and women and men who haven’t done anything, by Shaara regime “allies” is infrequent.

Those videos I saw reminded me so much of 2011-2012 Assadist Syria. I sincerely hope this comes to a swift resolution. The perpetrators need to be severely and publicly punished for the Alawites to even think that they might be safe, but idk if it will happen. The fighting still seems to be ongoing and atrocities still occurring.
