Brutal attacks on Alawites in Homs and cities along the Syrian coast
Following the murder of a Bedouin couple, which was exploited to incite unrest against the Alawites in Homs, violent attacks on Alewites was wittnessed, initially in Homs, but quickly spreading to other cities along the Syrian coast.
Following a call by the spiritual leader of the Alawite community in Syria, thousands of Alawites protested in the regions around Homs, Tartus and Latakia. They are demanding an end to sectarian attacks, the release of political prisoners and the right to self-determination.
Security forces of the HTS transitional government led by Jolani/AlSharaa were either unable or unwilling to stop the attacks. In some cases, demonstrators were shot at.
Thousands of supporters of the Jolani government hunted down Alawites and burned down Alawite shops.
Sectarian violence under Assad or now under Jolani: the answer is decentralisation, self-determination and the right to self-defence!

❗️HTS Attacks self administrated neighborhoods Sheikh Maqsoud & Ashrafieh
This afternoon HTS started to attack the self administrated neighborhoods Sheikh Maqsoud & Ashrafieh in Aleppo with tanks and artillery. Despite all attempts to infiltrate the neighborhoods were thwarted first reports of wounded and killed civilians arrive. This is another attempt to force the SDF into an agreement on HTS’s terms. Taking into consideration todays visit of the Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, the Turkish minister of Defence and the head of the Turkish intelligence agency MIT in Damascus it becomes clear that the Turkish state is orchestrating the recent escalation.
The people of Aleppo as well as all over Rojava are right now on the streets, showing their support and proclaiming the vision of a democratic Syria. The people of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh will defend their neighbourhoods but also we need to show that we stand with the Revolution and break the silence.
Bijî Berxwedana Sheikh Maqsoud & Ashrafieh!
