On April 16th 2026, an Alawite girl named Hadeel Mohammed was murdered by a member of Syria's "Ministry of Defense". In the village of Al-Kashfa, in the Tartus countryside, she was stalked, harassed, and then brutally slain in front of her school.
Rest in peace.
Alawite-led protests on Syria’s coast accuse the “new authorities” of killings and abductions, demanding federalism and equal rights⚖️ Critics warn of a separatist “Ugarit” project. Is this justice or fragmentation? Full story 👉 https://hyperlocalnews.website/inten/alawite-demands-and-accusations-of-separatism.html
Gotta love how the same people who say the British and French drew the borders of the Middle East badly turn around and treat the borders of modern Syria as sacrosanct.
This crisis is the consequence of those borders.
The problem will not be solved by a refusal to consider redrawing them along liens that actually match the existing regional demographics.
Among the units Reuters found to be involved were the government's General Security Service, its main law-enforcement body back in the days when HTS ran Idlib and now part of the Interior Ministry; and ex-HTS units like the elite Unit 400 fighting force and the Othman Brigade. Also involved were Sunni militias that had just joined the government’s ranks, including the Sultan Suleiman Shah Brigade and Hamza division, which were both sanctioned by the European Union for their role in the deaths. The EU has not sanctioned the ex-HTS units. The United States hasn’t issued any sanctions over the killings.

1,500 Syrian Alawites Massacred in Three Days - Where Is the Global Outrage?
A Reuters investigation just revealed one of the most horrific massacres you probably haven't heard about. From March 7-9, 2025, Syrian government forces and allied militias systematically slaughtered 1,479 Alawite civilians across 40 different sites along Syria's Mediterranean coast.
FYI the following text is not for the faint of heart.
Suleiman Rashid Saad, 25 years old. His heart was literally cut from his chest and placed on top of his body. The killers called his father from Suleiman's own phone and taunted him to come collect the corpse. His name was number 56 on a handwritten list of 60 dead from just one village.
This wasn't random violence. This was systematic revenge killing carried out by at least a dozen different factions - including units directly under Syria's new government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly of al-Qaeda's Syria branch). These are forces that the U.S., Germany, and France are currently lifting sanctions on and engaging diplomatically.
Now here's what's making me absolutely furious:
Where are the campus protests? Where are the celebrity Instagram stories? Where are the UN emergency sessions? Where are the mass demonstrations in London, Paris, Berlin, New York?
We're talking about government-sanctioned ethnic cleansing happening RIGHT NOW. Heart mutilation. Children on kill lists. Mass executions. Looting. Sexual violence. All documented by Reuters with names, locations, and evidence.
Yet somehow this doesn't trend on social media. No hashtags. No viral TikToks. No politicians making passionate speeches about civilian protection.
The deafening silence is the point.
Whenever the topic is about Palestinians, the world stops. Universities get occupied. Streets get flooded with protesters. Every politician from Portland to Paris issues statements. The International Criminal Court starts investigations within days.
But when it's Syria's new Western-backed government massacring religious minorities? Nothing. Cricket sounds.
This isn't about caring less because they're Muslim - it's about the uncomfortable truth that our selective outrage reveals our selective humanity. Some civilian deaths apparently matter more than others based on who's doing the killing and whether it fits our geopolitical narratives.
The Alawites weren't just "caught in crossfire." They were systematically hunted down because of their religious identity and association with the former Assad regime. Their killers are now wearing Syrian government uniforms and receiving international legitimacy.
I'm sharing this because consistency matters. If we're going to claim we care about civilian protection, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing, then we need to care about ALL of it. Not just when it's politically convenient or fits our preferred narratives.
The families in those 40 Syrian villages deserve the same global attention, the same moral outrage, the same demands for justice as any other civilian population under attack.
Their silence shouldn't be met with our silence.
Share this. Make noise. Demand accountability. Because if we only speak up for some victims and ignore others, we're not actually standing for human rights - we're just performing them.
