Tribal cheif Sheikh Ahmad Al-Salem, of the Al-Jubour tribe With a message to al-Hijri and his ilk: 》If you're unhappy with the new status quo, 'feel free to emigrate - as Sunnis have done for decades' ... 😂 #syria

In Suwayda, video shows a taxi crash amid gunfire. The driver flees, and Syrian defense forces soon rescue children from the back seat. An hour later, al-Hijri’s militia shoots up the taxi, later falsely blaming Syrian forces for the damage.

Hikmat al-Hijri’s militias filmed themselves saying they'll dump and burn bodies of pro-government fighters. This is an act meant to dehumanize their enemies, spread fear, and assert sectarian dominance in Suwayda, which is Israel's goal to separate the country.

FWIW, this is the 2nd counter-#ISIS raid undertaken jointly between U.S. forces & #Syria's military, after a raid on an #ISIS compound in Jabal al-Bishri in western Deir ez Zour late on June 11.

Starvation in Gaza leaves a baby too weak to cry.

The Syrian authorities have initiated legal proceedings against former Lebanese minister Wiam 'Baqbalsh' Wahhab. Wahhab faces accusations of: 》Spreading disinformation 》Inciting sectarian violence 》Calling for armed rebellion 》Advocating the violent overthrow of the…

Imagine if this Bedouin girl were from a minority ... Imagine if Sunnis had carried out the ethnic cleansing instead of al-Hijri We wouldn't hear the end of it .. The Bedouins have a saying: revenge is a debt never forgotten - even after forty years ..

I met this evening with the Syrians and Israelis in Paris. Our goal was dialogue and de-escalation, and we accomplished precisely that. All parties reiterated their commitment to continuing these efforts.

What's left to recognise ... ? Will this recognition stop the war in Gaza? Will it end the famine? Will it allow aid in? I highly doubt it. But sure, at least now the starving, murdered children belong to a state rather than a territory. #Palestine

Following the fall of Assad, international media outlets flocked to Syria, benefiting from an unprecedented margin of freedom and broad access to information and services. We had hoped that such access would contribute to the development of objective and constructive journalism;…

What for, a shirk vacation or a Mut'a retreat?

Sheikh Ahmad Al-Salem, leader of the Al-Jubour tribe: 》The Druze make up only 3% of the population, while Sunnis constitute 88%. 》We did not sacrifice 1.5 million lives for a former Assad stooge and now Zionist agent like al-Hijri to rule over us. #Syria

Ahmad Dalaty on al-Hajari: 》He offers no political roadmap, not even a defined separatist position. 》We don’t know what he wants, nor do the people of Sweida. 》Despite all the concessions we’ve made, he has never cooperated with us. It’s actually quite simple. He wants…

1st century AH Umayyad dirhams minted at Damascus. Few Companions of the Prophet Muhammad SA were still alive when these coins were minted. Quran 9:33 and Surah 112 are visibly referenced on the reverse. The makers of these coins must have seen the sahaba praying in mosque.

Looks like Hijri told Israel baqbalsh 😂 Mouaffaq Tarif, the #Druze leader in Israel, released a statement calling on all parties to: 》 Abide unwaveringly by the ceasefire agreement 》 Uphold their humanitarian responsibility to secure the release of the abducted and detained…

This partition logic makes no sense. Retard! If you're dividing by religion, why do Kurds get their own state when most are Sunni Muslims, If its by ethnicity, how do you justify a Kurdish state when Rojava's population is overwhelmingly Arab? What about Turkmen &…

Check out my latest piece:how Aleppo fell to the Syrian rebels, focusing on the defection of the Iranian-backed Baqir Brigade that was seen as crown jewel of Iran’s Syrian networks. The defection shows Iran’s networks & alliances were widely misunderstood syriaintransition.com/howaleppofell

Now 85% of the Gaza strip is a “Kill-Zone” That means if you consider these areas marked as completely empty then Israel wants to put 2.1 Million people in around 54 squared KMs. And the unmarked areas still get bombed by Israel.

US Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack: "The Syrian troops haven't gone into the city. These atrocities that are happening are not happening by the Syrian regime troops. They're not even in the city."
