To understand the events that have unfolded in Syria in 2025, particularly concerning the Alawite and Druze communities, it is necessary to recall the country’s situation up to December 2024.
Syria was a land torn apart by dictatorship, war, the presence of conflicting ethnic and religious groups and armed factions, the terrorism of ISIS and other groups, and the constant bombardments by Russia and Hezbollah on behalf of the regime.
In that chaos — which empowered ignoble forces, fueled hatred, division, and a thirst for revenge — conflicts erupted across the country, leaving widespread destruction behind.
With the establishment of a new government in January 2025 came the urgent task of disarming militant factions and building a national army and police force. But the transition from chaos to order cannot be immediate, for years of hatred and war do not vanish overnight.
Most militias disarmed and joined the new national army, with Kurdish forces nearing agreement. Yet unresolved grievances fueled revenge attacks, especially against the Alawites on the coast and Druze in the south, sometimes involving state forces and causing further casualties.
In response, the newly elected president, Ahmed Al Shara, pledged justice—a commitment now progressing in parallel with the broader reforms the new government has been implementing with remarkable speed and clarity. These developments remain striking, and we invite readers to visit newfaceofsyria.org for further insight.
