The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) on March 11 reported more civilian casualties on the Syrian coast, despite claims by the Syrian interim government that military operations against so-called “Assad regime remnants” were over.
Last week, a rebellion broke out on the coast following a series of violations against the Alawite minority, with officers from the former Syrian Arab Army leading the move. The Alawites are an offshoot of Islam Shiite. The family of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad belongs to the sect.
The rebels saw initial success in Latakia, Qardaha, Jableh, Banias and Tartus. However, they quickly were overpowered by government forces. Since then, Alawites civilians have been targeted en masse.
The interim government attempted to contain the situation by launching an investigation into the killings, and announcing on March 10 that all military operations on the coast were over. Still, the SOHR said that 132 Alawite civilians were killed on March 11, with 72 losing their lives in Tartus and 60 others in Latakia.
According to the London-based monitoring group, 47 separate massacres have taken place on the coast so far, with a total of at least 1,225 victims.
The group noted in previous reports that an additional 231 security personnel and 250 rebels had also been killed in the escalation.
The massacres have so far displaced at least 10,000 Alawites to the governorate of Baalbek-Hermel in eastern Lebanon with more that 7,000 others taking shelter at Russia’s Khmeimim Air Base near Jableh.
Over the last few days, refugees in Khmeimim Air Base refused several calls by the government to return to their homes, demanding international protection. The refugees even rejected aid supplied by the government and kicked out government-affiliated journalists from their camp within the base on March 11.
The escalation on the Syrian coast was discussed behind closed doors in the United Nations Security Council a day earlier upon request from Russia and the United States. However, the results of the discussions remain unclear.
The Syrian government has so far failed to end the sectarian-motivated killings, damaging both its reputation and legitimacy. Meanwhile, the Alawites, the country’s largest minority, appear to have lost all trust in the government with some activists even demanding the intervention of Israel.

the biggest mistake of the alawites was to trust those bast*rds! they shouldn’t have giving their weapons so fast. these dogs are telling them to go back home so they can finish them. they were even cursing them because they refused their so called help! they had the zio tv station al-hadas to make them look good on tv for the rest of the world. believe when i say they are dogs and will live like dogs and will die like dogs for their master the zionist.
o que tem a ver os inocentes animais com esses humanos lixos, filhos de satanas. vai ti catar satanas maldito. dependendo de mim, salvação e céu para todos os animais (aliás eles já nascem com direito a um lugar no céu contrário a vc e sua maldita geração e todos esses demônios que já tem lugar garantido nos quintos dos infernos ).
sohr = mi6.
sdf confront these wahabies ( hts) in rojava and aleppo, hamas confront israel in gaza, hzb same in south lebanon while alawites didnt take any measure to protect its territory using atgm, drones and other weapons.
let’s hope it’s the final days of the godless europe. let’s hope that europe will pay for all of that, which it still supports by donating millions/billions to terrorists (including taking terrorist radical sunnis as asylum seekers)
they’d better get ready for another 5 million refugees.
europe create this terrorists let them pay for it
“a total of at least 1,225 victims” way way way more than this
more than 10000, probably at least 100000 dead civilian when it’s finished in a few months.
the choice was simple. the assad family regime which was relatively stable and where a patchwork quilt of ethnic and religious communities could live in peace and security. or an isis state led by a known isis terrorist with a price on his head and with a proven track record of genocidal atrocities, who filmed himself beheading children and eating human organs. the second option was chosen – not by the long suffering syrian people, who had no say in the matter.
but by the regime change brigade, the jewsa, usaid, ned, and other fake ngos like human rights watch. the snake erdogan. the zio regime fresh from its own genocide in gaza. the eu. the quisling gulf dictatorships. they wanted syria destroyed and poured in tens of billions and 100,000 jihadi throat slitters and useful halfwits from 100 countries to achieve just that. the end result was entirely predictable, as night follows day.
we will now have an iraq 2.0 sectarian bloodbath, a war of all against all, or straightforward genocide and ethnic cleansing with an outflow of millions of refugees. what is left of the christian and other small communities will be wiped out. the alawites may succeed in fighting back and survive. or maybe not. the only small crumb of comfort in this is that all the guilty parties above will suffer the consequences of their crimes. the mayhem will by no means stay confined to syria.
isis head chopper jewlani is on his travels to brussels in a few days time for a “donor conference.” they have to decide how much eu taxpayer money to give to their head chopping, throat slitting, cannibal chum. david lammy has just given him £50 million of uk taxpayer money. genocide and ethnic cleansing don’t come cheap.
a lot of sunni moslems throughout the middle east are openly rejoicing over the massacres in syria. at best, they condone it or are silent about it. that is precisely the reason why the people of the middle east have been invaded, colonised, exploited, oppressed, robbed and humiliated by outsiders for centuries, whether it be european crusaders and colonial empires, the us, uk, or the zionist regime. they never unite against external enemies.
they prefer to spend their time and energy chopping the heads off fellow moslems and slitting the throats of fellow moslems – literally. outside enemies can always easily set moslems fighting among themselves, and hire moslem factions to serve their interests, then just sit back and pick up the pieces afterwards. they always do this. they have been doing it for 1,000 years. they never learn. they will always prioritise their petty feuds and hatreds, sunni against shia.
kurds and druze whore themselves out to foreign enemies. egypt and syria joined the us invasion of iraq. the saudis spend most of their lives conspiring against iran and hezbollah. the examples are legion. had they been united, the crusades would never have happened. they would never have been colonised. iraq, libya, and now syria, would not have been destroyed. the gaza genocide would never have happened. there would be no zionist regime..
lawrence of arabia said that the arabs were a silly people, a little people. he was right. arabs need to realise that unless they change, they will continue to be invaded, bombed, slaughtered, starved, tortured, robbed, humiliated, genocided and ethnically cleansed by outside enemies. if they carry on behaving the same old way, they need to get used to that, because nothing’s going to change.
