A curfew has been imposed in Homs, Syria, following protests by minority groups in several cities. Triggered by a video of an Alawite shrine being set ablaze in Aleppo, the demonstrations have raised fears among minorities regarding the new government’s commitment to religious tolerance. The government, led by the Sunni rebel group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), denies the authenticity of the video and claims it is intended to incite violence. The unrest reflects underlying tensions within the region following the recent changes in power.
