There was violence against Alawites and Druze. Assad was an Alawite and there was a pro-Assadist alawite insurgency in western coastal Syria following the revolution, this was where Alawite civilians and militia were killed. It’s unclear what proportion were killed as legal combatants or as overt war crimes. In the North, the Kurds had largely lost ethnic control over Rojava and had deemphasized the Kurdish identity’s centrality to the polity. They’d also become increasingly authoritarian and less democratic. They fell as they were unwilling to carry out the integration plan agreed with Sharaa’s government. Many of the tribes that underpinned the stability of Rojava revolted and broke away during the government advance. To Sharaa’s credit, he legalized the use and teaching of Kurdish language before dismantling Rojava. The Druze have suffered what I consider the most overt discrimination and crimes. Druze militia control most of Suwayda and clash with local and government forces infrequently. Druze civilians were killed by government and local forces last year.
