Answer
Syrian Alawites are protesting in Latakia to demand justice after a deadly mosque bombing in Homs killed eight people. They call for peace, safety, and federalism, citing ongoing violence and targeted attacks against their community since Assad's fall. Authorities claim the protests aim to create chaos and have rejected demands for a federal system.
