A CNN investigation sheds light on the massacre of an Alawite community in al-Sanobar, or Pine village, where government-aligned forces subjected largely unarmed villagers to summary executions, looting, arson and sectarian slurs, and bodies were piled up in two mass graves.
Clarification required. AFAIK alawites are a religious minority, which would make this not an ethnic cleansing, but a “regular” genocide, wouldn’t it?
Alawites are an ethnoreligious group similar to Jews
Thanks!
