Thousands of Alawites gathered at the Al Azhari roundabout in Latakia on Tuesday, responding to Sheikh Ghazal Ghazal’s recent call for action amid heightened tension following reported attacks on Alawite-majority neighborhoods in Homs. Protesters held signs reading “Release the military detainees,” “We demand the protection of minorities,” and “No to injustice – 25/11/2025.” Many chanted, “We want revenge for Sheikh Shaban,” expressing solidarity with victims of recent violence. Demonstrators condemned sectarian killings, forced displacement, and escalating insecurity, while calling for greater regional autonomy and a federalist political system to protect vulnerable communities. The rally underscores growing frustration in coastal regions and renewed demands for minority protection amid Syria’s shifting internal dynamics.
