The Republican Guard of Syrian regime announce forming “Coast Shield Brigade”, calling for youth to apply, with salaries of 40 thousand Syrian pounds, pro-regime news feeds said..
The announcement to call for joining the brigade was released by the office of Republican Guard in Qerdaha, Bashar al-Assad’s hometown, and adverts were distributed on walls, which indicates that it targeted Alawite youth.
The name of the brigade and the salary indicate targeting poor youth of Alawite people in Latakia and Tartus provinces, as the salary equal to $140 is not enough to even buy the shroud, according to Isam Khori, the economic expert.
Experts anticipate that many youth of Alawite people in the coastal region would join the brigade, like what happen when many joined the “Desert Brigade” to protect petrol resources.
The announcement points to lack of financial support for fighting, as the salaries are too low compare to the inflation happening in the country.
The brigade formation’s announcement coincided with victories in Idlib the armed opposition has achieved especially when controlled Ariha and other towns near the coast region, the main source of fighters for the regime.
