According to some of our extremely credible sources in Syria, around 750,000 Shiites from Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen have been granted Syrian citizenship since the start of the Syrian revolution in March 2011, as part of a long-term Iranian plan to 'redraw the democraphic map' of Syria.
The sources also revealed that the Iranian regime paid approximately $2 billion into the Real Estate Bank of Syria in recent months to buy up large areas of land and thousands of homes in the southern Homs province, after hundreds of thousands of Sunni residents were ethnically cleansed from the region. Whole towns and villages have been entirely cleared of their Sunni population, whose homes, farms, shops and other properties have then reportedly been transferred to the ownership of the 'new citizens.'
Regime forces, supported by shabiha (pro-regime paramilitaries) and Hezbollah militias, are continuing a brutal military campaign and siege against many Sunni neighbourhoods of Homs city and Sunni-majority towns and villages across the province in an effort to effectively clear the majority-Sunni province of its Sunni population.
Assad's forces recently burnt down the land registry office in Homs city where land and ownership and registration documents for homes and other properties in the city and province were stored; since the records had not yet been computerised, this meant that much of the only official documentary proof of ownership for hundreds of thousands of people was destroyed in the blaze.
The aforementioned moves are believed to be part of a widely-reported Iranian plan to create a 'Shiite enclave' encompassing Homs, Hama, a swathe of Damascus province, including the capital city, and the Alawite heartland in Syria's coastal area where Assad's support base is centred.
