The revolution that triumphs in Damascus echoes loudly in Beirut.

Dear @ibrahimhamidi as we first reported on Monday al-monitor.com/originals/2025… the mtg in Paris was likely to happen but has now been postponed due to the events in Suwayda. Here we reported the details of the Damascus mtg which started well then turned sour al-monitor.com/originals/2025…

The moment @ah_dalati began speaking about hate speech and the need for de-escalation, @Syr_television cut the interview. This isn’t journalism & it’s dangerous.

Every time I write “Druze,” “Bedouins,” “Muslims,” or any sect, I want to scream. I never defined myself by the one I was born into. I believed in “the Syrian people are one.” Having to explain this now—because of sectarian violence—is painful and absurd. And I hate it.

Merci de lire — un message fort de @FarahYsf7 👇 Je ne suis pas ici pour distribuer des certificats de bonne conduite ou des preuves de légitimité révolutionnaire. Le droit à la vie est garanti à tous, même les criminels ont droit à un procès équitable. Mais il y a une chose…

PLEASE READ THIS, from @FarahYsf7 "I'm not here to hand out certificates of good conduct or revolutionary legitimacy. The right to life is guaranteed for everyone—even criminals are entitled to a fair trial. But there's something important that needs to be said about Suwayda.…

I’ve been spending hours on this platform since day one of the Suwayda conflict, and what’s clear by now is that there was an organized misinformation campaign that played a major role in escalating the situation and triggering the Bedouin attacks on Suwayda. @hxhassan…

These two photos I'm sharing, which initially circulated online as evidence of massacred Bedouin civilians, have been traced to the videos also attached now confirming the victims were in fact Druze civilians, who were hauled into a main square in Suwayda and executed. Hosam…

Hama. Two Months Apart. May 7 vs July 22, 2025. I visited Hama for the first time in May, excited to discover the city famed for its norias, halawiyat al-jebn, souk, and hader. I was just as thrilled to return today, on July 22, 2025, after sharing my newfound love for the…

سيكون حساب قتيبة ياسين مادّة دسمة للباحثين في الايام القادمة، اتوقع، وبحسب كل قراءاتي للدراسات والأبحاث حول اعلام نظام الأسد وبروباغندا النظام المخلوع — ان يكون الإسم الابرز. المشكلة في اعلام التضليل، ان الحقائق تظهر دائماً، فحتى لو ربحت السردية لساعات أو ايام قليلة، ممكن…

Thanks to stop spreading old infos... He's out of Suwaydah as we talk. Why ? Because he was expelled by his own men who denounced him as a traitor. He's no more leader of Men of Dignity since 2016. He created Sheikh of Dignity forces and... was expelled by his own men, a second…

Sweida is collapsing under militia violence, abusive then absent state intervention, Israeli airstrikes, & rising sectarian incitement. 1000s displaced. Hospitals out of service. Aid stalled. This is a crisis of governance and humanity. New for @hrw hrw.org/news/2025/07/2…

ناس بلبس جيش الدولة بتسأل مواطن عن دينه وبتقتله لما يكون الجواب غلط. كيف ممكن اي انسان في برأسه عقل يبرر ويشوف أي مستقبل للبلد غير الخراب والدمار على رأس الجميع إذا استمرينا على هذا الطريق؟

Really is a sign of poor journalism and coverage of Suwayda’ when Layth Al-Balous is described as a ‘leader in Harakat Rijal Al-Karama.’ He is no such thing.

إعلان مبادرة وساطة وطنية تستعد مجموعة من الشخصيات الوطنية المستقلة المعروفة بمواقفها الجامعة ونضالها الطويل لإطلاق مبادرة وساطة وطنية مستقلة. تهدف هذه المبادرة إلى تهدئة الأوضاع وفتح قنوات للحوار الداخلي انطلاقاً من الإيمان بأن الحل لا يأتي إلا من الداخل. سيتم الإعلان عن البيان…

Why @AlarabyTV is paying for X on such a tweet;

These are not mutually exclusive. I stand against the atrocities committed by: – Government forces during their initial intervention to subdue #Suwayda – Druze fighters targeting Bedouin civilians – Bedouin and tribesmen attacking Druze civilians. #Syria.

Balanced statement by @ah_dalati: He successfully resolved initial tensions in Jaramana and Sahnaya. Its sad to witness yet another forced displacement in Syria after all these years. I hope the Bédouin families return safely to their homes, as well as the locals whose villages…
