The sharpest Sunni Shiite split arose in Syria between the ruling minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiaism constituting about 12% of total Syrian population, from which President Assad’s most senior political elites, military officers, generals and associates are drawn; and the country’s Sunni Muslim majority, are mostly aligned with the opposition. But the conflict had drawn in other minorities, including Armenian Christians, Assyrian Christians, Druze, Palestinian Arabs, Kurds, Yezidi and Turkmens. Taking advantage of the existing social tensions; state media began trumpeting the sectarian card to discredit the protestors, in order to legitimize Assad’s continuation and to gain critical support from those Alawites disillusioned with the regime. There are still 12 displaced Syrians from this civil war, and a half million people lay dead.— How quickly we forget. Who is feeding all these people?
