…. Civil War. "The Syrian Army is facing its most serious challenges since the start of the Syrian Civil War. Fatigued, over-stretched, and losing the support of its base constituency, the Syrian Army is conceivably nearing the point of collapse. Major rebel offenses have taken control of the strategic cities of Idlib and Jisr al-Shegour in the north. Meanwhile, a second rebel offensive in the south has been steadily working its way towards Damascus, the capital. These steady rebel gains have demoralized the Syrian military, created fissures within the regime of president Bashar al-Assad, and force Damascus to accept greater foreign assistance in propping an ailing government, according to an April 30th New York Times report. Here's why the regime may be nearing its most serious crisis yet…"

Syrian Christains generally support Assad from what I understood. As they know the alternative is an orange jump suit and getting beheaded in a fundamentalists islamists jihadi version of a "snuff" flick …  |

Legion 4, Isn't the other Syrian Jihadist opposition group Jabhat al-Nusra just as sadistic and looking to bring about their Islamic version of Armageddon? And aren't they affiliated with the 25,000 strong Jaysh Al-Islam – or Army of Islam? Dan

Sure sounds ominous for the Allawite government and its supporters. It is a Baathist, not an Allawite Government: Consider the facts. Only a handful of members of Assad's 30-strong cabinet (I was told two) are Alawite. The prime minister is Sunni, as are the interior minister, the justice minister, the foreign minister, even the defence minister. The delegation that travelled to Geneva for the failed peace talks several months ago was also almost entirely composed of Sunni Muslims (though they would probably reject sectarian terms, and prefer to think of themselves just as Syrians). telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/10770311/Syria-As-the-bombs-fall-the-people-of-Damascus-rally-round-Bashar-al-Assad.html The majority of the Army is Sunni and over 50% of the new NDF militia they raised is also Sunni. |
