Syria’s Damascus Countryside: Druze leader condemns ‘Extermination’

Shafaq News/ On Thursday,Druze spiritual leader Sheikh al-Aql Hikmat al-Hijri issued a stark warningabout what he described as “systematic mass killings” targeting civilians inSyria’s coastal and Druze-majority regions.

“We did not expect the TakfiriDaesh-style massacres; they came solely for killing and terror,” al-Hijristated. “What is happening requires immediate intervention by internationalforces to maintain peace and to stop these crimes at once.”

    He accused extremist factionsand their backers of targeting minorities, including moderate Sunnis,denouncing the state’s “failure” to protect its citizens. “We no longer trustan entity that claims to be a government — for a true government does not killits own people through its affiliated Takfiri gangs.”

    Calling for a decentralizedand inclusive civil state, al-Hijri urged Syrians to adopt a constitution thatensures equality and rejects sectarian exclusion, stressing, “Our people andour martyrs are not gangs. This is an unjustifiable campaign of extermination.”

    Following days of violence, apreliminary ceasefire was reportedly reached Wednesday in the towns of Jaramanaand Ashrafiyat Sahnaya in Damascus Countryside. The UK-based Syrian Observatoryfor Human Rights confirmed that at least 22 people had been killed in Sahnaya,including six Druze civilians and 16 fighters aligned with government forces.
