Syrian Alawites Fear Betrayal Amid Government Support: 'Don't Trust Anyone' in New Regime
Alawite communities in Syria are increasingly questioning their loyalty to the country's new government amid reports of kidnappings and violence by forces claiming allegiance to the regime. Residents fear that the government is losing control over certain regions.
Syria's Alawites may have lost faith in the country's new government after a prominent Alawite, Ibrahim, was abducted by fighters allegedly aligned with the government in the coastal city of Jableh, Latakia. The incident has sparked concerns about the loyalty and trustworthiness of these government-backed forces. This abduction highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Syria's fragile transition to democracy, where factions vie for power and stability is hard-won. The incident raises questions about whether the new government can truly maintain order in the country.
