A BBC article discusses the ongoing violence in Syria, particularly in coastal regions, after ousted leader Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Violence and revenge killings continue in areas loyal to Assad, with reports of fleeing residents, looting, and mass killings, including children. Demonstrations have been organized in the capital city of Damascus. The current interim leader has called for unity but faces challenges in restoring order and controlling various factions. There are also concerns about the presence of foreign fighters with radical Islamist agendas.
