A ceasefire has been declared in Syria! Recent developments in Sweida aim to reduce tensions in the region.

Following diplomatic interventions from the US and Turkey, the Syrian Interior Ministry announced a ceasefire between Druze militias and Arab tribes after days of intense fighting.

While Druze in Sweida celebrated the ceasefire, small-scale clashes continue in the area. Druze leader Hikmet El Hicri emphasized the need for a humanitarian corridor with the YPG.

The conditions of the ceasefire include the surrender of heavy weapons from Druze and Bedouin groups and their integration into security ministries.

The end of clashes in Sweida could help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the region. However, ongoing tensions raise questions about the sustainability of the situation.
