Everyone abandons Assad, losing support from the loyal Alawite sect

Bashar Al-Assad, now overthrown by rebels, has also lost the support of the sect to which he belonged, the Alawites.

The Sunni-led Islamist rebels who toppled Syria's Bashar al-Assad met on Monday with a delegation in the former president's Alawite hometown and received their support, in what residents said was an encouraging sign of tolerance for the new rulers.

How the rebels will treat the sizeable Alawite population, which widely supported Assad and from whom he even had his personal presidential guards, is seen in Syria as a test of whether the capture of Damascus on Sunday will lead to violent reprisals against Assad's former loyalists, Reuters points out.

The rebel delegation visited Assad’s town of Qardaha in the mountains of Latakia province in northwestern Syria, meeting with dozens of religious believers, elders and others at the town hall for a discussion before prominent Alawite figures signed a statement of support, three residents said. Residents said the delegation included members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the Free Syrian Army, Sunni groups that led the rebellion and that Assad had long said were terrorists who would massacre Alawites if he fell.

Syrians from the Alawite religion, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, make up about 10% of the country's population and are concentrated in Latakia province near the Mediterranean Sea and the border with Turkey.

The document, seen by Reuters, highlighted Syria's religious and cultural diversity. It also called for the police and state services to be restored as soon as possible under the new rulers and agreed that any weapons held by Qardaha residents would be handed over.

Meanwhile, Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali said he has agreed to hand over power to the "Syrian Salvation Government" (SSG), while opposition leader Muhammad al-Bashir has been tasked with forming a new Syrian government.

Muhammad al-Bashir, born in 1983, an electrical engineer and head of the SSG in Idlib under the auspices of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), will lead efforts to form a new cabinet following the rapid collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's government on Sunday, the online media outlet Sawt al-Asima reported.
