Sweida governor urges dialogue to address crisis

The Governor of Sweida, Mustafa Al-Bakkour, called on the residents of the province to engage in dialogue to resolve the ongoing crisis since the events of July 2025. He emphasized that the government is open to resolving disputes in accordance with the law, while respecting rights and dignity, and prioritizing the interests of the people. He clarified that the suffering of the residents requires serious steps, and that understanding does not mean relinquishing rights or forgetting grievances. He also stressed the importance of building dialogue based on justice and accountability. Despite repeated calls for dialogue, the reasons for the lack of response stem from oppressive policies and tactics of suspicion imposed by the conservative power leader, Hakim Al-Hajri, who demands independence and supports the separation of the province, thereby obstructing the negotiation process. Nevertheless, the initiative has received support from various figures, religious authorities, and opposition elites to Hajri, who affirmed the importance of dialogue for achieving security and stability. Public opinion remains divided, with some supporting and others opposing the idea.
