What does pro-Assad mean? Are they coordinating with him? They wanna put him back in power? What’s your proof?

Or you mean they simply like him?

it doesn’t seem like this is just them suddenly deciding to stop the “extra judicial murders”

It’s not sudden. This isn’t the first act of resistance, but this is the most organized we’ve seen. They have been complaining for months about these killings.

There’s certainly enough alawites armed or military trained to do this. They’re more military trained than any other group ever since the French occupation days.

Being organized doesn’t justify the falsehoods in the reporting. They’ve been getting murdered for 3 months now, surely they had enough time to organize.

Thanks for pasting excerpts from Wikipedia and confirming what I said, but what exactly is your point now? How does this relate to this group being an assadist group and not alawites putting an end to the daily murders of their people?

I would appreciate if you lead with your point / argument then justify it.

They want to justify killing them more. Depressing.

You’re speaking about Ibrahim houija. That guy was head of air force intelligence in the 80’s and 90’s. Do research before believing propaganda.

They’re not Assad linked. They’re fighting against the almost daily extra judicial murders and violence against the alawite minority in the coast.

Assad is gone.
