The role of the Alawite sect in Syria under the French and under Hafez Assad since 1971
08/28/2012
The Alawite sect practices Islam in away that is different from Sunnis and Shiites. It is open to foreign influences and not a strict form of Islam. Alawites live in the coastal mountainous region of Syria. The French used the Alawites as a buffer against the large Sunni population of Syria. Alawites are about 12.5% in a country of 22.5 million. Many Alawites joined the army and government under the French. In 1971 an Alawite army officer, Hafez Asssad, took over the government in Syria. He used violent tactics to suppress opposition during his rule, not hesitating to gun down civilian populations. His son is the current president in 2012, and the same tactics against democracy protests have aroused international condemnation. Saudi Arabia and other Arab states have come out in support of Sunnis in Syria who lead the protests. Turkey with its long border with Syria is supporting the democracy protests and offers a haven for refugees from Syria. The U.S. Britain and Syria warn of military intervention if Syria's chemical weapons are moved and threaten safety.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
