The fall of dictator Bashar Assad's regime in December 2024 has unleashed sectarian violence in Syria, particularly threatening the nation's religious and ethnic minorities. The interim government, led by former HTS commander Ahmed al-Sharaa, pledged to protect these groups, yet ongoing clashes among armed factions hinder stabilization and reconstruction. Majority Sunni Muslims make up around 70% of the population, while Alawites (10%) face specific threats due to their association with Assad. Since the regime's collapse, violence has surged, leading to significant civilian casualties, especially among Alawites, and deepening fears among other minority communities during this transitional period.
