The [[Syrian]] elite is made up of Alawites. When the [[Syrian War]] broke out, most Alawites sided with the dictatorship against the [[populist]], mostly Arab rebels. The Free Alawite Brigade of the [[Free Syrian Army]] was a notable exception.
Around 2020, many Alawites began to reconsider their stance to the regime, as they were displaced in their status as National elite by Russian and Persian military advisors.
