  • The Alawite Dilemma in Homs Survival, Solidarity and the Making of a Community
    STUDY The Alawite Dilemma in Homs Survival, Solidarity and the Making of a Community AZIZ NAKKASH March 2013 n There are many ways of understanding Alawite identity in Syria. Geography and regionalism are critical to an individual’s experience of being Alawite. n The notion of an »Alawite community« identified as such by its own members has increased with the crisis which started in March 2011, and the growth of this self- identification has been the result of or in reaction to the conflict. n Using its security apparatus, the regime has implicated the Alawites of Homs in the conflict through aggressive militarization of the community. n The Alawite community from the Homs area does not perceive itself as being well- connected to the regime, but rather fears for its survival.

  • A Nation Exhausted
    REPORT WORLD A Nation Exhausted Portraits of Syria OCTOBER 19, 2015 — THANASSIS CAMBANIS PAGE 1 Earlier this month, TCF fellow Thanassis Cambanis had a rare chance to visit Syria. In its fifth year of a grinding war, Syria has become something of a black box. It’s prohibitively dangerous to enter rebel-held areas, where foreigners and locals alike are routinely kidnapped or executed. The government of Bashar al-Assad, meanwhile, rarely hands out visas to Westerners. During the ten days he was allowed inside Syria, Thanassis visited Homs, the emblematic and now destroyed seat of the popular resistance movement against Assad; the coastal cities where the government feels most secure; and Damascus, a capital city still rich in cultural and social life but deeply consumed by Syria’s fratricidal conflict. What does a nation look like as it struggles to hold together under the unrelenting pressures of war? Through these snapshots of regular people and their neighborhoods, join Thanassis on his journey and share a glimpse of what everyday Syrians see. Homs Early in the uprising, Homs was known by anti-government activists as “The Capital of the Resistance.” Years of block- by-block urban fighting and a punishing siege destroyed the entire city center, leaving only an empty, apocalyptic no man’s land. In 2014, a few hundred people began haltingly to return to Old Homs. Now life is trickling back into a landscape of desolation, in fits and starts. Download PAGE 2 In the Old City of Homs, priests have reopened the Ghassanieh School, welcoming about two hundred students, most of them Christian.

In the beginning of the peaceful protests in 2011, Younes was the leader of the 555th Brigade of the Fourth Division at the rank of Staff Brigadier. He had a close relationship with Maher al-Assad, who entrusted him with the mission of repressing protestors in Rif Dimashq province. He had a bloody record of violations in Ma’dimiyyat al-Sham, Daraya, al-Qaboun, and Zamalka in Rif Dimashq, in addition to the operations that took place under his leadership in the city of Nawa in the northern Dara’a countryside, where he issued direct orders to open fire on demonstrators and arbitrarily detain the youths of those regions. Younes does not hold back his exaggerated sectarian inclinations, and his hidden disdain for those members of other sects who oppose him. He has said that his father is an Alawite shaykh, that he is a member of the Alawite council, and that he considers Sunnis the enemies of his sect.
