Analysis of Syria's Political Fragmentation

The inevitable outcome

is that Syria, which until now has been one state,

bound by a network of affection, harmony, and cooperation,

regardless of everything,

will be divided and fragmented into four or five

states.

This is a drawn-up plan.

Syria's sectarian structure

will help us dismantle it.

It could become a Shiite state along the western coast,

a Sunni state in the Aleppo region, and another in Damascus.

A Druze entity will fight with our support to form

a separatist state in the Golan, Hauran, and the north of the Kingdom

of Jordan.

Such a state would, in the long run,

be a force for us. Achieving this goal

is within our grasp.

to everyone, near and far, that I was the affable,

withdrawn brother, that I was the person

who cared about the fate of this sacred country.
