Numerous members of the Alawite minority are said to have been murdered by Syrian armed agents. A war watchdog organization said the attacks happened in the coastline of Latakia.
162 people have been murdered according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a rights organization centered in London. The Alawite sect’s territory is where the “field executions” took place. The previous homeland of ousted President al-Assad was Latakia.
Local media were informed by an insider in the interior ministry of the new administration that scattered infractions had taken place along the shore. He promised to put an end to these kinds of infractions. The SOHR informed the western media sources that 13 females and five kids were among the total number of people slain.
According to Syria’s fresh leaders, a military campaign is now underway in Qardaha. The birthplace of former President Assad, who was overthrown late last year, is Qardaha.
Damascus will target the “remnants” of the overthrown Assad administration, according to the the nation’s acting president. Ahmed al-Sharaa promised to put the group on court in his first remarks after the unrest started.
This comes after fighting between Assad-aligned militants and the Syrian armed forces. Over 70 individuals were killed in the clashes. The towns of Tartous, Latakia, and Homs have all been placed under curfew by the administration. These cities are where the battle has started in recent days. In addition, Latakia’s governor has declared that the region has lost all power.
Alawite society
The Alawite society is in a condition of dread and anxiety as a result of the bloodshed. An activist who wishes to remain anonymous said that the targeted communities are in anguish of shock and are really afraid. “They are unsure about what they ought to do. The same source clarified that neither the state nor the authorities are prepared to assist or defend them.
“Deep concerns” about the events in Syria were voiced by the UN special envoy. Geir Pedersen urged everyone to avoid doing anything that may aggravate the situation. While denouncing any attempt to undermine Syrian stability, he also urged action to alleviate the misery of impacted populations.
The Alawite minority’s homeland is this area. The Assad family, who are members of the sect, formerly called it home. There are differing estimates of how many individuals were murdered in the conflict.
Locals claim that violent sectarian conflict has targeted them under no reasonable pretext. Syrian people are “scared” whether they are resided in Damascus or on the coastline, an Alawite person told the media.
Everybody is afraid because of the present instabilities, she continued. Regardless of their involvement in the actions of previous administrations, community members may end up being used as scapegoats.
The current carnage and violence were the most severe since Assad was overthrown last year. Moscow and Ankara have cautioned that the violence jeopardizes regional security. Following the fighting, Berlin called on Syria to prevent the expansion of confrontations into a violent cycle.
