@Manuel Rapalo : 叙利亚正经历自巴沙尔·阿萨德下台以来最严重的冲突,如何解决暴力的根源? @Osama Bin Javed : 叙利亚沿海地区最近几天发生了暴力事件,背后原因是前政权残余势力试图夺权。前政权残余势力试图夺权,导致持续数天的战斗,造成大量平民和武装人员伤亡。针对阿拉维派平民的屠杀是自阿萨德政权倒台以来最致命的暴力事件。暴力是不可避免的,过去几个月的平静让人们产生了虚假的安全感。双方互相指责对方进行屠杀,社交媒体上充斥着各种指控和反指控。在暴力和分裂中,代理势力的影响也在发挥作用。阿拉维派作为统治少数派,看到权力逐渐流失,对未来充满恐惧。叙利亚的宗派动态复杂,各宗派被设计为互相敌对。叙利亚的宗派和文化多样性是其历史的一部分,但殖民者和阿萨德政府加剧了宗派分裂。民兵组织现在管理国家,但转型为治理机构的过程充满挑战。阿拉维派的未来充满不确定性,他们与阿萨德政权有历史联系。拉塔基亚的情况与预期相反,基础设施和教育系统糟糕,导致许多人加入安全部队。许多阿拉维派和逊尼派年轻人希望以叙利亚人的身份推动国家前进,而非宗派身份。政府采取措施应对暴力,但人们对未来的希望仍然充满不确定性。国际社会对叙利亚的记录糟糕,制裁继续伤害着叙利亚人民。叙利亚人民充满希望,但国家极度贫困,基础设施几乎崩溃。叙利亚人民的坚韧和决心令人敬佩,尽管面临巨大困难,他们仍在努力重建生活。
