Militias of loyalists and members affiliated with the “al-Qaeda government” in Damascus are gathering and preparing to attack the Alawite neighborhood of Ash al-Warwar in Damascus, and al-Suqaylabiyah in the countryside of Hama.

Palmyra - Damascus - Homs - Hama

Almost every major city in Syria is witnessing massive mobs that are attacking and looting houses, cars and shops of people they declared to be *Shabiha* - a term formerly used to describe Syria regime affiliated individuals but has now become a term used to describe to dissidents such as minorities, critical voices or other individuals not in line with the Jolani-Government.

This comes days after mobs have publicly lynched an individual who is being accused of being a former regime figure.
During the reign of Assad - the centralised state was the biggest employer and the only source for a secured income - by default, most individuals who lived in Syrian Government controlled areas were to some extent part of the Syrian regime - *Shabiha*
Hence why the term Shabiha in itself is not to be taken seriously.

Militant groups loyal to the Damascus authority and its supporters are stealing from and smashing the shops of Alawites in the capital, Damascus, Syria.

In Barzeh, in the capital Damascus, regime terrorists and regime loyalists in Damascus are breaking civilians’ cars.

So far, the Ash al-Warwar area, which is inhabited by members of the Alawite sect, remains under siege and is occasionally raided by gangs loyal to the Damascus government, as well as by some of its elements.

The commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdi, will meet today in Erbil (Hewlêr) with both the US envoy to Syria and Iraq, Tom Barrack, and the president of the Kurdistan Region, Neçirvan Barzani.
