Assad und die Alawiten

The same repressive authoritarian regime that is dominated by Alawites and has immiserated Syrians for generations — including the vast majority of Alawites — is the one that Alawite dissidents resort to when they are cornered. Said differently, we have been forced to navigate a system we wish to dismantle in hope that we can live long enough to see its downfall. But it is also the perfect snapshot of the intimate contradictions that run deep in the Alawite community. Within these two degrees of separation lies a window into the regime, the Alawites and Syrian politics.
