Syrian security forces wounds opposition leaders during Sweida protest

Share:

The city of Sweida ( Souweida) the stronghold of the Druze community in Syria witnessed another protest today against the regime of Syrian president Bashar al Assad.

Medical sources have reported that 2 leaders of the Damascus declaration were seriously wounded when the the Syrian security forces attacked the protesters.

The sources did not reveal the names of the leaders

Sweida is located near Daraa the flashpoint of the Syrian uprising

The Damascus Declaration was a statement of unity by Syrian opposition figures issued in October 2005. It criticized the Syrian government regime as `authoritarian, totalitarian and cliquish,` and called for `peaceful, gradual,` reform `founded on accord, and based on dialogue and recognition of the other.

The five-paged document unveiled at an unauthorized press conference was signed by more than 250 “major opposition figures” as well as parties “both secular and religious, Arab and Kurdish.” The statement called for a “fair solution for the Kurdish issue in Syria in a way insures the equality of Kurds with all other Syrian citizens”.

        Lebnaneh…if Jumblat is a back stabber, that does not make the Druze back stabbers!! So please don’t jump to that conclusions. Also, I know that Hizballah are very strong but there is no way that they were gonna wipe the Druze from the mountains. Whether Jumblat knows that or not or whether he is scared or not is irrelevent. The Druze are proud of who they are and when it comes to life or death, they don’t run away or take orders from anybody. And yes I am Druze and proud of that and please don’t make ignorant statements like that. Thanks.

      Its because the Druze are like wolves they stay in one big pack, and they are not divided upon themselves like Christians and Muslims. They are good warriors and very merciless and ruthless at the same time.

        What the hell are you talking about “our land they took from us” and  “jeyish el yarmouk” and “you take orders from outside”…what?? I was just telling you that don’t put all the Druze at fault when you talk about how bad Walid Jumblat is and don’t say that Hizballah will wipe us from the mountains. That’s all….

       Jumblat is the leader of almost all arab druz. Even in Israel the druz have a lot of respect for him and he meets with druz israeli members of congress in europe all the time. The Druz in the world really have it bad. for one they are a minority in every country they live in, they dont have a druz nation and in Lebanon the leaders they have are either too busy getting high (Jumblat), too stupid to even be considered (arslan) and too fat and stupid to even be considered a human (wahab). The Kurds have it just as bad if not worst, but at least they have the entire sunni middle east. Asyrians are christans so they can always find a place in Lebanon or the west. Now the druz in Lebanon have to either stan with Jumblat or as we have seen just do what they think is best and vote for march 14 in the next elections. Marwan Hmadi is the Only Druz politician that has not shifted from one position to another or said stupid things like wahab…

    for heaven’s sake. when are the lebanese going to be ready to forget the past and turn a new page.

    the only result if the lebanese keep thinking of the past is disunity.
