Sectarian murder in Syria: rogue militias or policy from Damascus?
Following the fall of former Syrian president #BasharAlAssad, #HayatTahrirAlSham ( #HTS)set up a transitional authority in #Syria, whose elements have been waging a violent campaign against the #Alawite community and other minority groups. Extrajudicial #killings and #kidnappings have become the norm in several regions.
Sources recently disclosed to The Cradle that Ahmad al-Sharaa (formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-#Julani) is well-informed about the massacres and killings of #minorities. One source reported that Sharaa told him point blank that he considers this violence to be a legitimate act of revenge that will go unchecked for the foreseeable future. “This (the killings) is normal and may continue for two or three years," Sharaa reportedly said.
