The Syrian Government Evacuates 1,500 People from Bedouin Tribes in Sweida

SadaNews - Buses belonging to the Syrian government entered the city of Sweida to evacuate 1,500 individuals from the Bedouin tribes as part of the government's efforts with the parties in the Sweida Governorate to halt the escalation.

The official news agency "SANA" published a video showing the entry of Syrian government buses to evacuate people from the Bedouin tribes following the implementation of a ceasefire agreement that ended bloody clashes lasting several days between the Bedouins and Druze.

The head of internal security forces in the Sweida Governorate, Brigadier General Ahmad al-Dalati, confirmed that the families of the detained Bedouins in the governorate would be released in the coming hours.

Al-Dalati also indicated that measures would be taken to ensure the safe return of those families to their homes, as part of the state's commitment to protect all its citizens and maintain the unity of the national fabric.

He noted that this operation resulted from the mediation efforts carried out by the Syrian government with the parties in the Sweida Governorate, which focus on halting the escalation and promoting reconciliation.

He emphasized the necessity of all parties adhering to the ceasefire and allowing state institutions to play their role in restoring security and stability to the governorate.

The Syrian presidency announced last Saturday morning the ceasefire in Sweida between the Syrian tribes and Druze factions, demanding all parties adhere to the implementation of the agreement under threat of accountability.

Meanwhile, Syrian Civil Defense teams yesterday, Sunday, evacuated 73 civilians from the Sweida Governorate, most of whom were children and women, from the humanitarian crossing in the city of Busra al-Sham to safe areas, and a family was secured to the Nasib border crossing with Jordan in the Daraa Governorate.

The Civil Defense statement noted: "The Syrian Civil Defense continues to contribute to providing basic necessities for citizens in evacuation centers in cooperation with other humanitarian organizations, through the emergency response operations room established by the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management."
