As Syria embarks on a new chapter following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, minority communities, especially the Alawites, Christians, and Druze, express fear of reprisals and uncertainty regarding their future. While Hayat Tahrir al-Sham has assured the protection of religious and ethnic minorities, many remain cautious about the implications of an Islamist militia in power. Local voices convey a mix of relief at the regime’s fall and concern about potential persecution, reflecting the complex societal dynamics at play in post-Assad Syria.
