      Summary – This article highlights the vulnerability of Syria’s Alawite minority following the Islamist-led takeover of Damascus. Historically aligned with the Assad regime, Alawites now face risks of retribution, marginalization, and possible collective punishment. Rebel group HTS has initiated “de-Baathification,” likely leading to Alawite exclusion from state institutions. Alawites may retreat to coastal areas but face challenges in forming a viable enclave.

      > Under the pretext of carrying out “de-Baathification” inside the army and government, he will almost certainly usher in a “de-Alawitization” process. This means that the Alawite coastal region will have to rediscover its vocation as a refuge. Many Alawites living in Damascus, Homs, and surrounding inland areas will likely feel compelled to move back to their homes there—properties that they established not just as holiday getaways, but as insurance for the future. If they stay in other parts of Syria, their lives could quickly become difficult and even dangerous amid the return of displaced, potentially vengeful Sunnis.

      Could they sweep the beaches and pick up litter making Syrian beaches pristine for all?

      But in seriousness, retreating to the coast seems like a fine idea for now.

      History tells us they will likely be interned somehow and “re-educated,” or even resist.

      I guess the easiest solution is to cordon them off there and negotiate?
