Rami Makhlouf looks to Syria’s Alawites, likens himself to Prophet Moses
- Reporter / Journalist
This article argues that fallen Syrian tycoon Rami Makhlouf is utilizing the Alawites as a lost resort in his struggle against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. By dissecting and contextualizing the rhetoric of his increasingly bold statements, the article explores how Makhlouf is exploiting Alawite grievances in order to use the community as a bargaining chip against Assad. Ultimately, it seems as though he aims to offer his silence in exchange for a reversal of the regime's expropriation of his assets, particularly his former telecommunications firm, SyriaTel.
