Shafaq News/ US Secretary of StateMarco Rubio on Sunday condemned the killings of minority groups in Syria,urging the country’s interim administration to bring those responsible tojustice.
“The United States condemns theradical Islamist terrorists, including foreign jihadis, that murdered people inwestern Syria in recent days,” Rubio said in a statement.
“The United States stands withSyria’s religious and ethnic minorities, including its Christian, Druze,Alawite, and Kurdish communities, and offers its condolences to the victims andtheir families,” he added.
He called on Syria’s interimauthorities to “hold the perpetrators of these massacres against Syria’sminority communities accountable.”
The violent clashes erupted betweenpro-Assad gunmen and the new security forces in the Alawite-majority westernprovinces of Latakia and Tartous. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, aUK-based war monitor, reported that security forces and allied groups laterkilled at least 745 Alawite civilians in the region.
Transitional President Ahmadal-Sharaa, a former leader of the Sunni Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,which played a key role in toppling Al-Assad, called for “national coexistence”following the killings.
The United States under formerPresident Joe Biden had engaged with Al-Sharaa after he took power, but broadernormalization efforts were tied to conditions such as the protection ofminorities.
