    🇸🇾👧 — A girl from the village of al-Huweiz, near Jableh, nammed Natalie Muhammad al-Dakhil disappeared. Residents demanded a swift answer from the Security forces and they went on a strike in the street of the village to protest the horrific kidnapping. The villagers were accusing the local Bedouin community for being behind the accident.

    Thanks to the Lord, the girl was finally founded and brought back to her family after hours of being missing. For now, no official statement was made about the reasons behind the incident. However in a heartbreaking video, we can hear the girl telling her story and how her kidnappers beat her with sticks.

    شكرا يا ربي… 🙏

    — I usually do not post about kidnapping stories on the Syrian coast but this one really show the situation that the Alawite community is living over there. It is not the first time, it occurs too often and it will not be the last time. How are we going to live in a country where a minority cannot even let their children free of their movements in their own villages ? The insecurity in Syria seems to be what these Islamists wish. They want to show how strong they are against weak people but I do not see them flying to Moscow and take Bashar al-Assad. Do not mistaken me for an Assadist, I am quiet the opposite but seeing those horrific kidnappings cannot continue.

    The civil war is over, all the Syrian population has suffered from it, especially the poor. Now we need to work toward unity and social cohesion. Nonetheless, playing with this thin line of insecurity in the coast will trigger something that no one wants. These extremists ruin the country as much as the Assad regime did, they break the will of the people to live together, they establish fear and threaten their lives. If you want to act as separatists, go and fight for your cause elsewhere.

    The civilians on the Syrian coast have nothing to do with the former regime, all the famous Alawite elites that the current regime (and probably all Syrians) hate are well and safe in the UAE, Russia and elsewhere. Instead, you chose to aggress the innocent Alawite, who seeks to rebuild his life as the Sunni, the Christian, the Druze, the Kurd etc… after fourteen years of war.

    To be honest, it just shows the pathetic way of thinking of a certain group of people in this country and it disgusts me. You are a grown ass man kidnapping and beating a literal child, may you find hell on your path for you do not deserve any mercy from us.

    Yet Another Syria Rant

    I think the people that I have the least respect for are these kinds of two-faced hypocrites. I do not believe these crocodile tears for an instant, and even if they are real, this absolute bufoon deserves no level of respect.

    Afraid to be called an Assadist, really? We told you this would happen. We Shi’ites and Alawites and Christians SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN FOR 10 YEARS. And yet these complete ignoramuses are too afraid to say the quiet part out loud. That we were right about the charecter of the “Syrian Revolution” and who funded it.

    Assad was not supported on the basis of him being exceptional, it was based on the knowledge that if he were replaced, it was always going to be by Wahabbi extremists.

    Yet now you complain about Islamists?! Who do you think was going to come to power at the end of this war, if not the most well funded, armed, and rhetorically supported in Arabic Media?! Claims of Sunni Genocide were being made by the same outlets who gave interviews to Al-Queada, and who said publicly that they were on a holy war against Shi’ites!

    How do you have the gall to bring up Assad as a boogeyman while you cheerleaded these rapists barbarians as the lesser evil! The answer is simple, and it has not changed, you believe that the abuse of this Alawite girl is worth the price of Assad being gone.

    It’s just a mind boggling level of ineptitude!

    “Assad must go!” You shouted loudly over anyone who asked the question “Who is most likely to replace him?”

    Well now you got what you wanted. You’ve successfully ripped the country apart by turning a blind eye to the Wahabbi pillager rapists until it was too late to stop them.

    I curse these hypocrites.

    I curse all who chose to close their ears to what the minorities of Syria had been saying for ten years.

    That the greatest monsters were always on their side.

      This is what my compatriots fail to understand. They curse their own for not voting Democrat because “Trump is worse” (debatable, he’s mask off, though), while screaming for regime change in

      Heaven help us face ourselves, so we will be too busy fixing us to meddle with our neighbors!

      I just wanted to say, thank you for posting about (and ranting about) these updates from the situation within Syria, as an English speaking Pakistani it’s quite hard to get a sense for what exactly is going on and this helps paint a picture.

      I also really empathise with your pain and frustration. The situation in Syria is worse than in Pakistan, but the sense of frustration at watching the state of the country continuously decline, going from one negative development to the next, while common people suffer, well I can certainly relate to it given how its been growing up in this country.

      I’ve long held the view that the revolution was hijacked by the west (including ‘Israel’) in order to depose Assad and while as you say I’m not a huge fan of him, replacing him with these west aligned wahabbists is a definite loss. It is good to hear from others who share this perspective. I hope that a path to a better, sovereign, Syria that works for all of its people can emerge, it’s been painful watching the suffering of the country for all these years even from the outside.

        Thank you comrade, it’s very nice to know that I’m not crazy and that others can empathize with this experience. Inshahallah, after the decolonizing of West Asia, more sovereign national projects can emerge across the entire continent. I can imagine that the situation in Pakistan is also quite harrowing considering what I’ve been informed about from my family’s Pakistani friends. I hope things can begin looking up for you as well some time relatively soon.
