Assad's Alawite Minority Regime Shared Common Characterstics With the TPLF Minority Regime

Post by Abdisa » 09 Dec 2024, 12:50

Assad and his father before him were dictators who hailed from the Alawite Shia religious minority that accounts for approximately 10 percent of the Syrian population. For over five decades, this Alawite dynasty has held sway over a predominantly Sunni nation. They ruled with an iron fist, brutalizing and oppressing the remaining 90 percent of the population. Their strategy relied on divide-and-rule tactics, exploiting Syria's ethnic, religious, and political divisions.

To fortify his regime, Assad elevated the Alawite minority to key positions of power in the military, police and government,and have a higher chance of employment in the public sector than other groups. At the same time, Assad manipulated Syria's sectarian and tribal fault lines to neutralize potential threats, ensuring that no single group could challenge his authority.


If it's not for "misery loves company," I don't see why the Tigray ethnic minority are happy to see the fall of the Alawite minority regime in Syria. :mrgreen:

Syra of the Assads, Egypt of the Abdnasers and Iraq of the Sadams were independent states that emerged from decolonizations from France and UK. Their governments were socialist Arab republics and all were branches of the Baath Socialist party. They did not espouse ling-cultural ethnic ideology nor religiously sectarian ideology. As socialists, they held the worldview of gradually ending economic class divisions and outlaw religions.
Abdissa, you can rule over us without licking the boots of capitalism and white supremacy. Just so you know.

The last 5 years haven't been good for minority regimes around the world. The agame planned to stay in power in Ethiopia for 100 years, which even their masters were surprised that they lasted in power for as long as they did, and that's due to the fact that Ethiopians have a tendency to stop resisting any regime propped up by world super powers, because validation, acceptance and approval by the Western world is far more important to them than fighting for their freedom. Real talk!
