Les non sunnites représentent moins de 20 % de la population syrienne : druzes à 3 %, ismaïliens 1 %, alaouites à 10 % et chrétiens à 5 %. 3. Les sunnites constituent 80 % de la population syrienne : arabes à 65 %, Kurdes à 15 % et Turkmènes à 1 % ; la minorité circassienne est aujourd'hui complètement assimilée aux arabes, en revanche les Kurdes et les Turkmènes résistent, en particulier par la langue, à l'arabisation.

In the citing paper
“De Cha ˆtel (2014) shows that during the harsh drought years of 2006 to 2009 in the agriculture-based northeast, the regime provided emergency help first and foremost to those selected, well-connected farmers who had already profited from the distribution of state land and subsidized fertilizers (see also Balanche, 2011).”

“While a host of context-specific features contributed to the respective dynamics of local conflicts, a determining factor in provincial cities such as Idlib, Jisr Ash-Shughour, Maarat an-Nu’man, Rastan, and Talbissah was – in Fabrice Balanche’s words – ‘the disinvestment of the state’ (2013: 8).”

“…with a line of argument about Syria, which holds that local ethnic geography—specifically the presence of both Sunnis and Alawis in a town or a Sunni town being “encircled” by Alawi villages—fueled ethnic competition and, eventually, violence (Balanche, 2011, p. 446; Hokayem, 2013, p. 45).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
