In Syria's coastal villages, the Alawite community feels abandoned by the new authorities: 'We want the attackers to be punished'

Between March 7 and 9, the towns of al-Sanobar and Huraysun were taken over by Islamist factions allied with the new Syrian authorities. The assailants looted and burned houses and massacred dozens of inhabitants, whom they suspected of being supporters of the former regime. Survivors, still in shock and terrified, tell the story.
