In the Alawite neighborhood of Damascus, residents express deep fears about their future in a post-Assad Syria, grappling with the stigma attached to their identity.
Many Alawites feel caught in a paradox: while they felt oppressed under Assad's regime, his belonging to their sect means they now face collective blame.
The Alawites' concerns are rooted in the societal perception that equates their sect with ridiculed loyalty towards a regime that many have come to despise.
As the Syrian landscape shifts, the Alawites are seeking assurance about their safety and acceptance, hoping to disentangle their identity from Assad's oppressive legacy.
