Minority Christians in Syria have been dwelling in a state of uneasy anticipation since insurgents headed by the Islamic militant group Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham took management after ousting President Bashar Assad.
Mazen Kalash, a resident of Bab Touma, a Christian neighborhood in Damascus, mentioned he desires to know the plans of the brand new authorities that might be fashioned by the rebels.
“The necessary factor is to really feel secure, carry order, legislation and respect to the residents,” he mentioned. “We want to have the ability to work no matter we wish and do no matter we wish with none interference from anybody.”
The insurgents have up to now tried to reassure minorities that they are going to be protected.
Large numbers of Syrian Christians, who made up 10% of the inhabitants, fled after the civil conflict erupted in 2011. Many of those that stayed supported Assad out of concern they could be focused by Islamist insurgents.
