WASHINGTON, March 9, 2025 (BSS/AFP) – US Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the “massacres” of minority groups in Syria on Sunday and urged the interim administration to ensure that those responsible are held to account.
“Syria’s interim authorities must hold the perpetrators of these massacres against Syria’s minority communities accountable,” Rubio stated in an official remark.

Rubio’s comments come amid ongoing concerns over the treatment of ethnic and religious minorities in Syria, particularly the Kurdish, Christian, and other minority communities, who have long been vulnerable in the complex political and military environment in the country. Despite ongoing peace talks and international efforts, the conflict in Syria remains a significant humanitarian crisis, with numerous reports of violence and massacres perpetrated against civilians. The US has continued to press for accountability for human rights abuses, urging all parties involved to ensure justice for victims.
