The Druzo fighters regained control of the city of Sueida, with the Syrian government reassuring that the truce is being implemented, but the situation in the Syrian south remaining brutal after the bloody conflicts of Druzo -Bedouins.
On Saturday morning, the Bedouins were in the western part of the city, whose mostly Druzes are. “The tribal fighters were withdrawn from the suede on Saturday night,” after a counterattack by the Drouz, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Bassem Fahr, a spokesman for one of the main armed movements of Druzes, confirmed to the French agency that “there are no more Bedouins in the city”.
“We pledged to observe the truce, but our Bedouins attack many axes outside the city” He had mentioned.
At a press conference in Damascus on Saturday night, Intelligence Minister Hamza Mustafa admitted that the truce was “fragile”. He explained that the first phase of implementation of the agreement had begun, with “the development of security forces in the Sueida province”, but not in the city itself.
The second phase provides for the opening of humanitarian corridors between the Sueida and Deraa provinces to safely remove civilians and the injured, he added. The development of security forces in the city of Sueida will take place at a later stage.

‘The battles have stopped’
The battles have “stopped” in the suede on Sunday, the Syrian government reassures, after the Druzians regained control of the city and began the rearrangement of government forces in the area.
“Sueida has been evacuated by fighters of all tribes and the battles in the city’s neighborhoods have stopped,” According to a Syrian Interior Ministry spokesman in a post on the Telegram platform.
‘Prevent the development of violent jihadists in the south’
US Secretary of State Marko Rubio asked the Syrian government on Sunday to prevent the arrival of “violent jihadists” in southern Syria, where there were multiple ethnic conflicts between Druzon and Bedouin last week.
In a post on the X platform, the head of American diplomacy states, inter alia, that “if the authorities in Damascus wish to maintain any possibility of achieving a single, no exclusion and peaceful Syria, free from the Islamic State and Iranian control, they must do so in enter the area and commit slaughter. And they must make accountables and lead to justice who are guilty of atrocities, including those who belong to their own strengths. “
