A report published in Britain's Guardian newspaper details the plan of demographic change "sectarian" in Syria, the management of Iran, to strengthen its influence in the region and consolidate the rule of the Assad regime.
The change in the valleys between Damascus and Lebanon, where whole communities have abandoned their lives because of the war, is the beginning of the return of people for the first time since the outbreak of conflict, but the people who settle there are not like those who have fled over the past six years.
Replacing the Sunni population in Syria with other Syrian or even non-Syrian Shiites is an essential part of Iran's demographic change plan.
The newcomers follow a doctrine other than that of the Sunni Muslim families that once formed the majority in those areas and, according to those who sent them, are the first initiators of the movement to rebuild the area with Shia Muslims, not only from other places in Syria, but from Lebanon and Iraq as well.
Population exchanges are essential in a plan to bring about demographic changes in parts of Syria and to reorganize the country into areas of influence that could be controlled by Iran's direct supporters of Bashar al-Asad and used to achieve wider interests. The Iranians intensified their efforts as the conflict began to dissipate , And a completely different approach by Russia, which is the other main supporter of Assad.
Russia is using an unrealistic truce to push for political accommodation between the Assad regime and the exiled opposition. Meanwhile, Iran has begun to move toward a project that will fundamentally change the social landscape in Syria, strengthen Hezbollah's stronghold in northeastern Lebanon and consolidate its influence from Tehran to the borders. Northern Israel.
"Iran and the regime do not want any Sunni Muslims between Damascus and Homs and the Lebanese border," says one senior Lebanese official. "This represents a historic shift in the demographic structure."
The main element of Iran is the two cities under the control of the opposition, Zabadani and Madaya, where Damascus residents spent their summer vacations there before the war, but since mid-2015 their fate was the subject of protracted negotiations between senior Iranian officials and members of the Ahrar al- The main opposition to Assad in the region, and one of the most prominent armed factions in Syria.
Talks in Istanbul focused on a swap between residents of two Shi'ite villages west of Aleppo, al-Fu'a and Kafriya, which have been bitterly contested for the past three years. Opposition groups, along with the jihadists, surrounded the two villages throughout the siege of Aleppo, trying to link their fate to the eastern half of the city, which was dominated by former opponents.
According to the authors of the idea of the swap, it was supposed to be a real test for further large-scale population shifts along the southern routes of Damascus and the Alawite stronghold of north-western Syria, where Assad draws much support.
"Tehran is seeking to create areas that it can control," said Labib al-Nahhas, head of the political bureau and external relations of the Ahrar al-Sham movement, who led the Istanbul negotiations. "Iran was fully prepared to make a full exchange between the north and the south and wanted to continue geographically towards Lebanon And there is a whole sectarian separation in the heart of the Iranian project in Syria, as they are looking for geographical areas can control and influence them in full, and will have repercussions on the region as a whole.
"The siege in the cities of Madaya and Zabadani has become the main problem to prevent the opposition from reclaiming Al-Faoua and Kafriya, where the population is limited to Shiites. Hezbollah regards them as a security zone and a natural extension of its lands in Lebanon. At any price".
Iran has been active in all four of these cities through its proxy Hezbollah. Hezbollah has dominated the hills between the Lebanese Bekaa valley and the suburbs of Damascus and has surrounded the towns of Madaya and Zabadani.
Hezbollah sources confirmed that the Barada valley in the northwest, where the ongoing fighting violates the Russian truce, is part of the equation.
Elsewhere in Syria, demographic changes are also reshaping the geopolitical fabric of societies that lived together for centuries before the war.
In Darya, south-west of Damascus, more than 300 Iraqi Shiite families moved to neighborhoods left by dissidents last August as part of the surrender. Up to 700 opposition fighters were transferred to Idlib province. Within days, Iraqi families.
Tehran cites the presence of Hezbollah and other Shiite groups backed by Iran, and the presence of Shiite shrines in Darya and Damascus.
The Sayyeda Zeinab Grand Mosque received considerable attention, and Hezbollah fortified the Sayyida Zeinab Mosque on the western road of the capital. It was inhabited by the families of the armed group, which had moved there since late 2012.
Tehran has also bought large numbers of houses close to the Zeinab mosque, as well as an area of land used to operate a security barrier.
Former commander of the Free Syrian Army, Abu Mazen Darkush, who left the town of Zabadani to the valley of Barada, said that the Umayyad Mosque, the largest mosque in Damascus, also turned into a security zone controlled by Iranian groups.
"Although there are many Shiites who were brought to the area around the mosque, it is a Sunni area, but they plan to secure it by the Shiites and then control it completely."
Senior officials in neighboring Lebanon have watched what they believe is a systematic burning of land registry offices in Syrian areas that have regained control on behalf of the regime. Lack of records makes it difficult to verify home ownership. Burning of the land registry offices in Zabadani, Darya, Homs and Qusayr, located on the Lebanese border, which was controlled by Hezbollah in early 2013,
Abu Mazen Darkush said that entire neighborhoods had been purified of their original inhabitants in Homs and that many residents were not allowed to return to their homes. Officials attributed this to the lack of evidence that they were already living there.
"The first step of the plan has already been achieved, which involves expelling the residents of these areas and burning anything that links them to their land and homes, while the second step involves the replacement of indigenous people with newcomers from Iraq and Lebanon," Abu Drakush said.
"The displacement began here in 2012, but it increased significantly in 2015, and now most of our citizens have already been transferred to Idlib," said Amir Burhan, director of the Zabadani city hospital. "It is clear that there is a plan to move the Sunnis from Damascus to Homs. They tell people that this place is no longer for you. "
"This leads to the fragmentation of families and the disappearance of the concept of family life and attachment to the land because of all this deportation and exile, which would tear the Syrian society."
With the beginning of the decline of the war, the issue at stake in post-war Syria will go beyond who lives? Where? When, when the fighting finally stops. And will be embodied in the sense of identity, the biggest question will be, who can identify the national identity.
Population swap policies not only change the demographic balance in Syria, but also alter the balance of power and endanger entire societies
"It does not just change the demographic balance, it changes the balance of power in all these regions and across Syria itself, and whole communities are at risk," he said, "and the war with Iran has become a war of identity. They want a country like them, So ".
