Protests in the southern Syria’s countryside of as-Suwayda continue for the fifth day in a row. Local residents demand the return of recently canceled subsidies for vital products, and protest against corruption of local and Syrian governmental authorities.
The protesters stage sit-in protests. They blocked roads between villages as well as Damascus-Suwayda Highway. They open blocked roads for the passage of trucks with food and fuel.

Some demonstrators flew the multicoloured Druze flag, as the region is largely populated by representatives of this ethnoreligious group.
Law enforcement forces were deployed in the region. However, the protests are quite peaceful. No clashes have been reported so far.
In recent years, As-Suwayda has faced sporadic protests. The region is a rare stronghold of discontent in government-controlled areas.
The main reason of the new wave of discontent is the difficult economic situation in the country, aggravated by a government decision to exclude thousands of locals from a subsidy programme.
The decade-long war, western sanctions, and the Covid-19 pandemic, have devastated the Syrian economy. Government spending has been cut by more than 40 percent over the past two years, threatening a critical social support programme.
Let these druze ask their masters in isrealhell, who they support, to give them financial help from the American pain exerted on Syria
Don’t say bullshit. Druzes support Bashar.
They also support Hezbollah as well? No, you fuking moron. STFU kid.
Not Hezbollah
the golan heights will soon enough be liberated and these gipsy monkeys will be thrown into the desert they basically already have ended any trust into them long ago they are in fact as much trusted as the terrorists in idlib because the cancer which infested them all is still there and therefore they still can create chaos under the cover of these terrorist groupings the zionists are still breathing aslong as that is the case the war is still on
Very good I have seatbelt in my armchair. Do You want me die laughing?
just die already…
Druzes are shared between 4 countries. Druzes also helped Ba’athists to overthrow Shishakli.
Its not like that at all. Maybee You try to comunicate too much wirth Your TV.
They must be a reason this people protesting they’re hungry no jobs no futures what you expect more to come don’t worry
There’s nothing the government can do about the economy. It looks like these guys are in for a crash course in self-reliance.
Economy is an important part of it. It often makes the well known crimes and by that even more divindings.
I will say great areas there already are crashed. So many people are not even there anymore but refugees or emmigrants in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
Only Jordan has good economy.
“The U.S. Government has provided Jordan with more than $17.3 billion in foreign aid since 1946” For you moron to understand what that means, they have a leash and the US holds on to that leash.
“USAID facilitated Jordan’s use of the Jordan-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, with trade between Jordan and the United States increasing from 568 million USD in 2001 to more than 3 billion USD in 2019. International trade agreements help Jordan’s businesses access new markets and grow” Again Jordan is in the same position as Zion in Palestine, with no US aid no food.
There is a moron like you in Pandora Papers as well named “you know who” A.K.A Abdullah II, stealing aid money from people for himself.
Oh, you also claim Jordan’s economy is better than Turkey in what world? Talking out of your ass again huh. GDP rank – Turkey is higher GDP per capita rank – Turkey is higher GDP per capita – Turkey is higher
Turkey unlike Jordan doesn’t have a bomb under their asses, if Jordan ever disobeys the US can make them history. I get it you clown “from” Greece or so you claim which I don’t fuking buy, you too fuking rtded to be from Greece.
Actually Chris is from India.
Actually, you basement dwellers have no country.
Turkey’s population is living in poverty now.
Greece’s poverty rate, At the risk of poverty rate, was 17.70 percent in December of 2020, according to the EUROSTAT. The U.S. provided Greece with more than $11.1 billion in economic and security assistance after 1946. The European Commission approved on Thursday Greece’s national plan, worth 30.5 billion euros $36.5 billion, to recover from the pandemic and make the economy greener and more digitalized.
Turkey poverty rate for 2019 was 10.20%, a 1.7% increase from 2018. Turkey poverty rate for 2018 was 8.50%, a 0.2% decline from 2017. Turkey received $111 million in economic and military aid and the U.S. sent the aircraft carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Turkey 14.40 percent 2018 Greece 17.90 percent 2018
It is true, because our politicians are the worst.
Godforsaken you live long.
Does your nose grow bigger every day like Pinocchio’s?
Do you know about how the Turkish lira has fallen? And tell me your true nationality. You sound Iraqi islamist to me.
Greece with all the aid money the EU and US give still have problems economically. You were saying “Turkey’s population is living in poverty now.” you lied and changed the topic like a clown, again.
You know nothing about why the Turkish lira went down, also what about it? It fell in 2021 and they are working on and it has risen in the past few months. What is wrong with you? you thought because of that most Turkish people become poor and were homeless, overnight?
Do you want to know my “true nationality”? Ask your mother. Also, to me, you sound like half g0y.
You are kicking the ball to the stands. Turks are all infuriated with the situation there. Greece is bad but Turkey is worse in economy.
Jens, go on and answer this clown that replied to you, “Only Jordan has good economy.”
I remember you said he is a bright “person”.
a sack of rotten potatoes is more bright (and more person) compared to Jens.
You are bright since you support radical islamic groups. If you are not European then ok. But if you are European you are massive traitor.
Grow up kid, your young age is showing.
It is funny how you suck on Zion and Wahhabis like a wh0re and claim I’m the one who “support radical islamic groups”.
“if you are European you are massive traitor.” I say this to you if you don’t understand fuk off. I don’t like leeches or people/countries that cause trouble.
I support Israel not Wahhabis. On the other hand, Iran supports Taliban and Al Shabaab.
You are a half g0y after all, you lie 99% of the time like “them” and when someone calls you out for lying, you cry like a bitch and change the story.
Do you know what Zion and Wahhabis hate the most? People who question things. What proofs do you that show Iran “supports the Taliban”? Did the US and Taliban meet in Iran to sign the “peace deal” or was it in Qatar? Wasn’t Trump that ordered that “peace deal” because of his Wahhabis friends. Didn’t Iran help the US to kick the Taliban out of power? Don’t make stories in your head like a kid. Ofc, hardcore Shia make friends with hardcore Wahhabis in your head kiddo.
Also, you half g0y, you support an apartheid regime, even the amnesty international called your kind what you really are, cancer.
It seems that I don’t lie.
There is ample of evidence that Ira started to support the Taliban. Taliban are not Wahhabi but Deobandi.
Hardcore Shias and hardcore Wahhabis also can unite. Remember in Iraq more than a decade ago when Sadrist militias were fighting side to side with Wahhabis against the US.
