The results of the Nazi-style campaign that we previously warned about due to its # itemdangerous and bloody nature are now manifesting on the ground in an even more brutal form. This campaign is being led and fueled by groups supported and directed by the extremist government in Damascus. Today, the Alawite community is paying the price of this systematic incitement with the blood of its sons and daughters, while the silent genocide continues to unfold before the eyes of the entire world.
Over the past forty-eight hours alone, tow massacres have been committed against Alawite civilians, separated by only a few hours. Following the massacre in the village of Al-Shuhaib in the Salamiyah countryside, east of Hama Governorate, which claimed the lives of a number of unarmed and defenselessness civilian youths, the same bloody scene was repeated on the evening of June 7, 2026, in the town of Tal Al-Sakin (Al-Sarout) in the western Hama countryside, where unarmed and defenselessness Alawite civilians, including a little child, were killed. This once again confirms that what is taking place is not a series of isolated incidents or temporary chaos, but rather a policy of systematic and ongoing targeting directed against Alawites on the basis of their identity.
The repetition of these crimes in the same manner, across different regions and within short periods of time, together with the continued targeting of Alawite civilians, which has become a daily reality, amid complete impunity and the de facto authority's sponsorship of hate speech and sectarian incitement, creates an ideal environment for escalating violence and dismantling what remains of the social fabric. It is pushing the country toward further chaos and a broader explosion whose consequences will be severe for everyone.
We, at the Western Syria Alliance, urgently and persistently call upon decision-makers, foremost among them the Government of the United States of America, to take immediate action to stop this ongoing silent genocide against Alawites and to implement practical measures to protect civilians and hold those responsible for killings and incitement accountable.
We also affirm that silence in the face of these crimes, or turning a blind eye to them despite having the ability to influence events and help stop them, serves only to prolong their continuations. History has repeatedly demonstrated that impunity is the fuel that sustains mass atrocities and encourages perpetrators to continue their violations.
