The National Government of Syrian has announced a new ceasefire to eliminate clashes between Drews and Sunni Milicia around the southern city of Sweda. For human rights, for the London -based Syrian Observatory, more than 300 people were killed and many more injured through Wednesday.
On Sunday, the struggle was reported after the beating and looting a draus youth by members of the Sunni Bedouin community on a highway between Rajdhani, Damascus and Saweda. The Druz Fighter then kidnapped Bedouin, causing further violence.
The government sent soldiers to Saweda located about 100 kilometers (60 mi) south of the capital Damascus to create a source of violence. Amen Javad al-Tamimi, a journalist specialized in Syria and Iraq, said on X that Drews Fighters opposed the soldiers, but finally handed over their weapons.
On Tuesday, Sohr reported that 19 drozers were killed by the defense and internal ministries and alignment fighters. Sting that this draus was working to protect the population, Israel on Wednesday attacked the army headquarters in Damascus and Sweda region.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katj said in a statement that the Syrian government attacks to prevent the damage to damage the population. In Israel, the drozers are seen as a loyal minority and are often served in the army.
Struggle and crime
Clashes in Sweda are part of a long -running conflicts among various population, the Middle East of Germany’s Henrich Bole Foundation and Bent Scaller, the head of the North Africa Division, told DW. “In Syria, many groups feel that their concerns or rights are not enough to note,” the scaller said. “With respect to other groups, they feel that they are in a loss, which then leads to violence.”
The main issues in the Sweda region were struggles about cultural or religious identity and violent crime, which is associated with drug smuggling which once flourished here, he said.
Month of conflict
In April and May, there were clashes between the drews and government-rebellions in the Damascus suburb of Jaramanna. In March, an ambush on government forces by Alvites, minority, for which elite Bashar Assad was concerned, before communal violence and revenge attacks, including fighter aircraft with government forces. More than 1,300 people were killed. Many Syrian Lake the Alvites as supporters of topped regime.
The present government is not clearly in favor of any individual group. “This is very much a pluralist for this only,” said Andre Bank, a research partner who specializes in Syria at the Giga Institute in Hamburg for the Middle East studies. “The question is that if the government is neither a violent local actor nor keeps some of his own soldiers under control, how to continue things,” he said.
Should government members discover discovery violence, the bank said, “Large -scale interconsal clashes are similar to continuing.”
Pressure on al-show
It remains to be seen whether President Ahmed Al-Shra will be able to stop widespread violence in Syria.
In June, US President Donald Trump approved Syria after the European Union, which did so in May. However, the US and the European Union have stated their high expectations about the safety of minorities in Syria.
In late June, a suicide attack on a Christian church in Damascus showed the difficulty of fulfilling these expectations. Twenty -five people were killed. Since then, the Syrian Christian has called upon its government to make more efforts to protect them. Some told DW that they would consider leaving the country.
The Interior Ministry has convicted the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group for the attack. “The names of Ote have a lot of disgrace in public debate,” the scaller said, including the armed group, including the former members of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group. Al-Shara was the leader of HTS before Assad’s collapse. “Of course, it would be more convenient for him to move the responsibility for the attack on the attack,” the scaller said.
The Syrians are very suspicious at the government’s response to the attacks on the bonfire. Despite the government’s promise to establish an inquiry commission, there is no result yet. “Many people feel that the government’s severity or even the will to investigate,” the scaller said.
The government lacks funds for further tasks, from drafting a new electoral law to rebuilding the state mechanism and establishing a federal bureaucracy. The investigation into clashes and attacks can end the government’s charge, which is to monitor the interests of the other: Kurdin in the north of the country, who want to remain a part of the Syrian state, but demand wide autonomy. Over the years, they are coalition formed with the Turkish government in Northern Syria -the Childen Fighting Force.
The government wants to deal with these conflicts for a long time.
