Supporters of former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad are plotting to overthrow the government of Ahmed al-Sharaa. A Reuters investigation has found that they are funneling millions of dollars to thousands of fighters to start the uprising.

The plan, revealed through interviews with 48 people and a review of financial documents, comes to light as Syria marks one year since the fall of Assad and the new government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa is gaining international legitimacy.

Two men who were once Assad's closest aides, Major General Kamal Hassan, the former head of military intelligence, and his billionaire cousin Rami Makhlouf, are trying from exile in Moscow to create militias among Syria's Alawite minority, the religious group long associated with the Assad family.

The two men, along with other players competing for influence inside Syria, are collectively funding more than 50,000 fighters, trying to secure their loyalty. Their true power remains unclear, as many fighters are said to receive money from both sides.

One of the biggest threats in the conflict between them is a network of 14 underground shelters and warehouses in coastal areas, which are said to contain weapons, ammunition, communication systems and survival equipment.

Three senior officials – two military officers and a regional governor – confirmed their existence to Reuters, saying they remain operational, albeit weakened.

To counter the plots, the new Al-Sharaa government has “hired” an old close friend of the Assad family, Khaled al-Ahmad. Once a senior Assad paramilitary commander who later turned against him, he is trying to convince the Alawites that their security can only be guaranteed under the Al-Sharaa government and not by the old regime’s cadres abroad.
