The President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa has just given a speech addressing the nation, about what is currently unfolding in the northwest of the country, around the Latakia Governorate, “We are now facing a new danger at this crucial moment, in that the remnants of the other regime, supported by foreign elements, are trying to create another civil war and drag our country towards a civil war in order to divide it, destroy its unity and stability. We know today that the dangers we face today are not just a passing threat but a direct result of the activities of various forces that are trying to perpetuate anarchy and destroy what is left of the homeland. What is happening on the coast is the clearest example of these attempts, and this is not the first time; a month and a half ago, something similar happened and we extinguished it.” Adding that those who have harmed civilians will be held accountable and brought to justice.
