The '''Alawite''' sect is an [[Islam]]ic religious group in the [[Middle East]]. The movement was founded in [[Iraq]] and belongs to the [[Shiite]] spectrum. Alawites were often confused with the [[Alevi]]s.
The [[Syrian]] elite is made up of Alawites. When the 2011 [[Syrian War]] broke out, most Alawites sided with the [[Assad]] regime against the mostly [[Sunni]] [[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.
