Escalating Violence in Syria: Reports of Orders for Summary Executions
Reports indicate that Islamist forces in Syria have received orders to execute anyone deemed infidel. Christian, Druze, Yazidi and Alawite communities face risk of genocide.
The situation in Syria is worsening with reports that extremist Islamist groups have received explicit orders to summarily execute anyone they consider to be infidels. According to local sources, this is putting entire communities at risk, including Christians, Druze, Yazidis and Alawite Muslims, who are now facing the specter of genocide.
Videos and testimonies from the region show scenes of terror, with civilians being persecuted and entire cities becoming high-risk zones. Human rights experts warn that the escalation of violence could lead to one of the most serious humanitarian crises of the decade.
International organizations are already calling for an urgent response from the global community to prevent an even greater tragedy. However, so far, diplomatic and humanitarian efforts have been hampered by the complexity of the conflict and the involvement of different international actors.
The international community is faced with a dilemma: should it intervene to prevent more deaths or should it watch the violence escalate with no solution in sight?
