A prominent Syrian opponent revealed that nearly 150,000 Alawites have been killed in Syria during efforts to maintain President Bashar Al-Assad in power, well informed Russian sources revealed.
In a statement released to Italy’s AKI news agency on Monday, the sources said: “According to Russian sources, the number of victims of young Alawites in the war launched by the regime six years ago has reached nearly 150,000, meaning the elimination of a whole generation of this community that is supposed to be of a productive age.”
“This explains why he [Al-Assad] has increased the age of conscription and began recruiting female Alawites.”
