Thousands of #protesters flooded streets in the cities of #Latakia & #Tartus to demand govt forces stand down & withdraw from the countryside, the first wide-scale #demonstrations against the new authorities….
By Fri morning, the govt had deployed more security personnel to the coast to bolster their forces there as they tried to regain authority over a handful of towns & villages where armed gunmen had effectively seized control overnight.
At least 70 people were killed & dozens wounded in overnight clashes between the new authorities in #Syria & gunmen loyal to the ousted #dictator #BasharalAssad …in the bloodiest skirmishes since the collapse of the #Assad govt.
The fighting unfolded in #Latakia & #Tartus Provinces, longtime strongholds for Assad…. It came hours after the killing of 16 security personnel by Assad loyalists in the Latakia countryside on Thurs afternoon….

A Russian cargo ship supposed to evacuate Russian military equipment from Russia's #Tartus naval base in Syria has finally docked after spending weeks drifting in the Mediterranean, MarineTraffic data showed on Jan. 22.
Der #Hafen von #Tartus in #Syrien war seit 1977 eine Basis der russischen Flotte. #Russland wollte die Basis weiter bis zum Jahr 2068 mieten und ausbauen.
Der Vertrag wurde nun von der neuen syrischen Regierung mit sofortiger Wirkung gekündigt.
Die russischen Schiffe hatten die Basis schon länger verlassen und Russland schien auch seinen Verpflichtungen nicht mehr nachgekommen zu sein.

Wada'an, douchebags
Coupled with news over #Transnitria, the "mighty" Russian empire continues to crumble:

In the port of #Tartus, Russians are carrying out an emergency dismantling of equipment and military property. Several hundred Russian special forces have already arrived there to ensure the safety of the retreat.
