Syria's Alawite Minority, Favored by the Assads, Looks Nervously to the Future
Briefly

The mausoleum of Hafez al-Assad is now a site of anger and protest, with Syrians expressing their suppressed feelings through graffiti, curses, and defilement.
The desecration of the mausoleum reflects the deep-seated resentment felt by many Syrians towards the Assad regime, as they demand accountability for decades of oppression.
Dr. Fidaa Deeb voiced concerns for the desecration of the mausoleum, emphasizing that, regardless of Hafez al-Assad's legacy, it is still a grave deserving respect.
As calls for justice grow louder, the Alawite community faces anxiety, fearing that the backlash against the Assads can also affect their collective identity.
