Assad Loyalists Fund Uprising, Face New Syrian Government

Former Assad loyalists, including Major General Kamal Hassan and billionaire Rami Makhlouf, are reportedly funding tens of thousands of fighters to potentially spark uprisings against the new Syrian government. These groups, composed of Alawite sect members, are competing for control over underground command rooms and hidden weapons caches. The new government, led by President Khaled al-Ahmad, is countering these plots by funding job creation and economic development to persuade Alawite ex-soldiers and civilians to join the new Syria. However, the prospects of a successful uprising seem low due to internal conflicts and distrust among Alawites. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
