Yeah these folks don't want Assad back. They might have some history with the regime, but only because Assad survived thanks to a loose alliance of alawites, druze, and other groups that faced total destruction under a Wahabbi fascist regime.

These people will not welcome bashar back. They'll make something better.

Still miles better than rhe head choppers but that's not saying much.
