Roadblock on Sweida-Damascus Road Before Exams
The residents of the northern and western villages in Sweida Province have blocked the Sweida-Damascus road at the Umm Al-Zaytoun crossing in protest against the deployment of security forces affiliated with the office headed by Suleiman Al-Hajri. This action has disrupted traffic movements, except for emergency cases. This move comes amid preparations for the secondary and preparatory exam periods, with examination centers set up to accommodate around 13,000 students, and heavily fortified security measures to ensure the students' safe arrival, despite attempts by security forces to obstruct this by deploying civilian vehicles and preventing their passage. The protesters aim to pressure authorities to regain control over the villages and protect the rights of the residents. Meanwhile, these measures are causing popular tension and increasing the suffering of local residents’ livelihoods, amid ongoing efforts by the Syrian government to conduct the exams amid escalating security tensions.
