They're not Assad linked. They're fighting against the almost daily extra judicial murders and violence against the alawite minority in the coast.

Assad is gone.

The bias in the reporting is very telling.

and it is wilder by the day. However, there appears to be organization in the case of Latakia and Tartous.

Being organized doesn't justify the falsehoods in the reporting. They've been getting murdered for 3 months now, surely they had enough time to organize.

It is good that they are getting organized and fighting the HTS terrorists. And yeah, you are right about the reporting and how western news media group every dissident into the same basket. However, if we go beyond the news, it is good that people are fighting back against the fascists HTS. Also not sure if you also seen this letter:

Statement by the 'Military Council for the Liberation of Syria'

The Military Council for the Liberation of Syria is hereby established, following months of injustice, sectarian violence, looting, oppression and the seizure of Syrian land by external aggressors.

The Military Council for the Liberation of Syria has the following goals:
