Syria: Breakup

Published:

Description

So this semester I had a lot of seminars on the Middle East. It came to my attention, that one of the scenarios for Syria's future would be a Turkish military intervention aiming at crushing the Kurds in Rojava (Northern Syria), since they obviously think of them as the grater threat, not ISIS. So I thought: Let's make shit a little more crazy. In this scenario, Bashar al-Assad pulls back to his Alawite stronghold on the coastline of Syria where he founds an Alawite state and holds his borders with support from Lebanon. Simulatneously Israel intervenes on behalf of the Druze in southern Syria, simply because Israel is home to a large portion of Druze who are integrated into Israeli society and could potentialy advertise for intervention. With the help of Israel, Jabal Druze becomes an Israeli protectorate. The core of Syria is now a tightly sealed battlefield where Turkish supported Syrian rebels fight ISIS. Israel, Lebanon, Jabal Druze and Iraqi Kurdistan (wich I bet you will become an independent state very soon) now all form a coalition of minority states not ruled by Arabs to stick together against Islamist threats.

The Jabal Druze state flag and emblem strongly reminds me of Beiyang China btw ^^
