The gangs of the Syrian Interim Government have withdrawn from Suweyda.

This withdraw is a victory of the Druze people. This example shows that, as it is so often the case, when the people organise and resist, they cannot be defeated. The will of the people cannot be broken by weapons. Above all, the unity of women, especially against the mentality of killing that has emerged in recent days, is proving to be the strongest means of resistance.
We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and wish a speedy recovery for the wounded. Hand in hand we will work to build a decentralised, democratic, pluralistic Syria.

Druze are under attack by Syrian government forces and its proxies, and under Jolani, all of Syria's minorities are at risk.

Statement to Our People and to the Public Opinion Regarding the Ongoing Attacks on Our Forces and Our People

At a time when the Syrian people, along with all parties committed to a peaceful solution, are looking forward to stability across the entire geography of Syria, the factions supported by Turkey and operating under the umbrella of the Damascus Government continue to commit repeated violations of the ceasefire in several areas, including Deir Ezzor, Deir Hafer, the Tishreen Dam, and Tal Tamir. These violations also include suspicious movements around the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo, in blatant breach of the agreement signed between the administration of the two neighborhoods and the Damascus administration on April 1, 2025.
These factions have attacked areas of North and East Syria for more than 22 times, using heavy weapons, launching ground assaults, and attempting to cross the Euphrates River to target our bases in Deir Ezzor. These attacks have caused significant damage in areas inhabited by civilians.
Such aggressions contradict the spirit of the agreement concluded between Mr. Ahmed al-Sharaa and our General Commander, Mazloum Abdi—an agreement whose essence is the complete cessation of fire, the protection of civilians, and the promotion of opportunities for a political solution.
Throughout this period, we have exercised restraint and sought to maintain calm despite these aggressions, out of our belief that Syria’s stability requires genuine partnership and shared responsibility from all parties. However, the continuation of these attacks threatens mutual trust and undermine these understandings, placing them at risk and reviving a war mentality at a time when Syria most needs dialogue—while the Damascus Government bears full responsibility.
Accordingly, we:
1. Call on the Damascus Government and its affiliated factions, as well as the factions supported by Turkey, to immediately cease all violations and adhere to the terms of the agreement.
2. Urge the international community and human rights organizations to monitor these violations and work to ensure respect for signed agreements.
3. Extend our hand for dialogue and cooperation toward a safe and stable Syria, while at the same time affirming our readiness to take all necessary measures to defend the rights and security of our people.
