Thousands Of Syrian Alawites Sheltering At Russian Base One Week After State Massacres
Syrian government-linked armed groups have carried out 54 massacres since 6 March, killing at least 1,476 Alawite civilians in the country’s coastal areas
Thousands of Syrian Alawites continue to seek sanctuary at a Russian air base, fearing for their lives in the wake of a series of horrific sectarian massacres carried out by Syrian government-affiliated extremist armed groups.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that about 9,000 people were seeking refuge at Hmeimim, an air base established by Russia as part of its 2015 intervention in the US-backed war that began in 2011 to topple the Syrian government of former president Bashar al-Assad.
Thousands of people have been sheltering at the Hmeimim Air Base near the coastal city of Jablah since 7 March, when extremist militants went from house to house in predominantly Alawite towns and villages, killing residents and looting and burning their homes.
A few Alawites have left the base, seeking to return to their houses.
Reuters reported on 14 March that Rana Boushieh, 34, returned to her village, Al-Sanobar, on 13 March. Her brother reassured her that the situation had stabilized and encouraged her to return home, arranging for her to be escorted by government security forces.
