🇸🇾 The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that at least 428 Alawites have been killed in the massacres, in addition to 120 anti-government fighters and 89 from HTS.

It didn’t mention a number for Christian victims, despite the circulating reports about attacks on Maronites.

🇩🇪 German upcoming chancellor Friedrich Merz said that his party CDU and incumbent SPD have agreed in principle to form a coalition government.

His goal to form a government before Easter will be therefore achieved. Merz has stated multiple times Europe’s need to become more sovereign against Russia and with distance from the United States.

🇩🇪 On 23 February, Germans went en masse to the polls to vote for their new government. The outcome was generally pre-determined, with centre-right CDU emerging as the winner with about 28.5% and right wing AfD climbing up to the second position, surpassing 20% and doubling its support. The result prompted domestic incentives to revive Berlin’s economy and European meetings to increase defence meetings. Today’s analysis will focus on examining the consequences of the elections and Germany’s potential to catch up from its losses in the past years.
