Fatal Clashes Erupt Amid Alawite Protests in SyriaSun 28th Dec, 2025Violent confrontations broke out in Syria on Sunday following widespread demonstrations by members of the Alawite community, according to local activists and security sources. The current wave of protests was reportedly sparked by a call from Ghasal Ghasal, a prominent Alawite leader. Since Assad's removal from power, Syria has experienced a surge in sectarian violence, particularly against minority groups. The situation in Syria remains highly volatile, with frequent reports of violent outbreaks and targeted attacks against various communities. Despite promises from transitional authorities to restore security and safeguard minority groups, the cycle of unrest and reprisal continues to pose significant challenges for the country's future stability.
