Urgent call for help: Alawites in Syria fear wipe out!

in Syria rages a bloody conflict that has escalated according to the Fall of the Assad regime. The Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, John X., criticized the massacres of civilians in an urgent sermon, which are currently mainly committed in the coastal region. These atrocities, which also include the murder of Alawites and Christians, contradict the vision of the new President Ahmad al-Sharaa for a safe Syria, as he said in his sermon. Johannes X. demanded the establishment of an independent investigation commission to fold the responsible persons and reported on Christians killed at least 400 to 500, while other information is spoken of over 1,300 deaths in the past few days, including numerous civilians and fighters. These acts of violence, of which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported, are the result of targeted attacks in which children were not spared. The Hamza brigade, supported by Turkey, is held responsible for this massacre, while the new Syrian government describes the situation as a challenge that needs to be mastered without taking any clear consequences.

, however, alawites from the coastal region express the calls to help that illustrate the urgency of its situation in a frightening manner. In voice messages to the media, they announce an existential threat: "We are experiencing a real extension," said a affected woman from Jaabla. Reports of the extreme fears and the despair of the Alawites are piling up in the permanent fear of kidnapping or murder, as many are trapped in their own houses. It is reported by coordinated military actions by Pro Assad supporters who destabilize the new government power. The international community is urgently asked to create escape routes from these endangered areas, while the streets are still blocked, so the Alawites report to hide them from their cruel.

background and charges

The youngest massacres are part of a larger plan that many disapproves as ethnic cleansing. Ramy Abdulrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said that the attackers publicly called up to the jihad to kill Alawites. These targeted attacks are a continuation of the brutal clashes in Syria, which intensified after the regime's fall three months ago. The Alawites also protest against the one -sided representation of their community as consistently loyal supporters of the old regime, since many of them were also against Assad and share the new hope of peace. The violent scenarios in Syria raise difficult questions about the future stability of the region, while the rule of terror once again threatens the life of the civilian population.
