In a recent state television interview with the rebels, a commander leading the operation to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Damascus made assurances regarding the protection of minorities in Syria. The commander emphasized that the country belongs to all Syrians and addressed all sects of Syria, stating that Syria is for everyone without exception.
The commander specifically mentioned that Syria is for the Sunni, the Druze, and the Alawite, highlighting a commitment to inclusivity that differs from the approach of the Assad regime. When asked about the safety of minorities post-Assad regime, the commander sought to reassure them by affirming their place in a unified Syria.
