Uprising in Latakia
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad] Yesterday, the Latakia uprising began, which was provoked by the terror of HTS against the Alawites and Shiites.

"The Military Council for the Liberation of Syria called for the overthrow of HTS.

UPRISING IN LATAKIA
"After months of injustice, sectarian violence, looting, oppression and the seizure of Syrian lands by external aggressors, the Military Council for the Liberation of Syria has been established.

1. The Military Council for the Liberation of Syria has set itself the following goals:

2. Liberation of the entire territory of Syria from the occupiers and terrorist forces.

3. Overthrow of the HTS regime and dismantling its repressive sectarian apparatus.

4. Protecting the lives and property of all Syrians.

5. Restoring state institutions on a national and democratic basis.

6. Preparing for the return of refugees.

7. Establishing a single sovereign state consisting of all sects and nationalities."

In general, this is a bid for a new round of civil war, coupled with the ongoing war of the Turks against the Kurds and the Israeli-supported fragmentation of southern Syria, with the creation of a Druze autonomy under an Israeli protectorate.

As in the case of the overthrow of Gaddafi, in Syria it will be established through experience that no one except the "dictator" is capable of maintaining the integrity of Syria in the conditions of the internationalization of the civil war.

P.S. The total number of those killed on both sides by morning exceeded a hundred. The fighting continues, HTS is transferring reinforcements from other provinces.

The prospects of the rebels without external support seem dubious.

More from Boris Rozhin
Freedom from dictatorship
Already familiar pictures of Syria free from dictatorship. Without Assad, it immediately became better.

In retaliation for the losses in the night battles in Latakia, the HTS militants are taking it out on civilians. In essence, there are extrajudicial executions of the civilian population. It goes without saying that the civil war in Syria will continue for a long time.
