Right, the alawites were oppressed when they had minority rule just like how the Afrikaners were oppressed in apartheid South Africa. We’ll have to wait and see. Good talking to you.

22·2 months agoUntil you answer “what more do you want” I’m assuming you want al-Julani to personally gather up the perpetratora and lead them all in singing Kumbayah.

Alawites weren’t marginalized under Assad. That’s why there’s a strong pro-assad alawite faction doing things like ambushing government troops. In fact, Assad’s family was alawite and he put alawites in leadership positions in the government and military, in fact.
How much reading have you done outside of the OP article and maybe one or two others in the mainstream media? Did you even realize the regime was collapsing before it was over? I ask because I really think you’re worse informed than I am

“On March 10, al-Sharaa condemned the recent mass killings of Alawite Muslims… He pledged to hold all perpetrators accountable, including those within his own ranks”
What more do you want? This is after alawite assadist insurgents ambushed government troops, by the way. This is all from Wikipedia.
Of course he’s unelected, he just ousted the old boss. They’re working with an interim government. They only just got around to parliamentary elections. If they don’t hold presidential elections within their five year target you can come back and make me eat crow.
And by the way, the majority of the “those poor alawites” articles I saw while looking this up were from Israeli publications. So consider who you’re shoulder to shoulder with on this.

107·2 months agoAtrocious article. Ridiculously biased wording: Al-Julani “mutated”. He “shed” his old clothes.
As for content, basically fuck all. “He’s a sectarian dictator and he’s doing familial nepotism.” “Iran doesn’t like him for sectarian reasons.” How about actually analyze his policies and statements? From everything I’ve read he’s interested in a stable, secular, Democratic Syria and is courting foreign recognition and investment.
