About this listen

In this episode, we dive into the unfolding crisis on Syria’s coast and the demonstrations erupting in Latakia, Tartous and Homs. For one full year, crimes against civilians and the silence of the authorities pushed the Alawite community to a breaking point. We look at the murders that triggered the unrest, the twelve thousand former military personnel held in detention, and the growing fear inside Alawite areas that authorities in Syria are not protecting them. We also examine the online extremist incitement that targeted Latakia and the response from security forces.

This episode gives a clear and direct breakdown of why the Alawites in Latakia and the entire coastal region are now demanding accountability and change.
