The Syrian government has declared an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in the southern province of Suwayda following days of violent clashes between Druze militias and Bedouin tribal groups. This conflict has tragically resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people and has displaced tens of thousands within the region.
Deployment of Security Forces
According to the Syrian interior ministry, security forces are being deployed to restore order and prevent further bloodshed. The ceasefire announcement calls on all involved parties to respect the truce and end hostilities immediately, with a warning that any violations will be considered breaches of sovereignty.
Current Situation in Suwayda
The situation remains tense in the predominantly Druze city of Sweida, where recent reports indicated ongoing smoke and gunfire in the streets. Local fighters from both sides continue to express hostility despite the ceasefire agreement.
Appeal and International Support
The Syrian interim president has appealed to Sunni Bedouin tribes to honor the ceasefire to prevent further violence. This ceasefire deal is reportedly supported by several neighboring countries, including:
- Israel
- Turkiye
- Jordan
This follows a U.S.-brokered agreement aimed at stabilizing the volatile area.
Hope for Peace and Stability
As Syrian forces return to the province, authorities are hopeful that their deployment will secure peace and protect civilians. This development represents a critical step toward calming the unrest that has devastated southern Syria and raised regional concerns.
