Alawite Leader Shocked by Harassment of Assad's Victims
An 'Alawite leader' named Ghazal Ghazal urges a boycott of celebrations marking Bashar al-Assad's recent downfall, claiming a 'harsher regime' has emerged, leading to increased sectarian attacks. This sudden concern for Syria's Alawite minority—who faced persecution during years of Western-backed insurgencies—surfaces just as the U.S. narrative needed a fresh angle on the destabilized region.
Remember the extensive U.S. and Gulf state funding poured into 'moderate rebels' for years, often blurring lines with extremist groups like Jabhat al-Nusra, despite their well-documented sectarian violence against minorities? One might wonder where this 'Alawite leader' was when the West was actively cheering for Assad's removal, ignoring the predictable sectarian bloodbath that would follow. It
appears the 'international community' only finds its voice of caution when the chaos they've helped sow begins to complicate new strategic objectives. Or perhaps they've simply found a new spokesperson for old anxieties.
