Global Justice Syria News – Syria – News – Suweida:
On Tuesday evening, representatives of the Syrian Independence Alliance (SIA) held a consultative meeting with the political committee stemming from the General Assembly of the Suweida Movement to exchange ideas and strengthen communication and collaboration.
The founding body of the SIA will begin a series of meetings with Syrian organizations, forces, and movements aimed at enhancing cooperation and building understandings based on shared national constants. This is in order to confront normalization with Assad and prevent opportunities for political bargains that could undermine Syrian public and private rights, resulting from the crimes and massacres of the Assad regime and its Russian and Iranian supporters.
The representatives of the Suweida Movement’s political committee stated that the movement in the Al-Karama Square and throughout the Jabal Al-Arab region represents a second wave of the Syrian revolution, emphasizing the need to implement Resolution 2254, pursue political transition, accountability, and justice. They noted that the path to this cannot be achieved without dialogue with all Syrians, asserting their rejection of separatist and divisive projects and their commitment to the unity of Syrian territory.
For its part, the Syrian Independence Alliance affirmed that the people of Suweida and Jabal Al-Arab have never acted from a narrow “sectarian” awareness, but have always been at the forefront of the entire Syrian national movement over time. They emphasized that the concerns raised by some regarding minorities and sects in Syria are shared fears felt by all Syrians, threatening everyone, whether related to religious extremism, racism, or any projects undermining Syrian nationalism from outside the borders.
Regarding the liberal and secular orientations of the Suweida Movement, despite coordination with the Sheikh of the Druze community and Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hajri, the political committee’s delegation clarified that most public figures in Suweida are distanced from traditional religious influences, while everyone respects the social and spiritual significance of all community segments. They highlighted the important role of Sheikh Al-Hajri in uniting voices and reconciling varying opinions and directions.
The alliance’s delegation noted that Syrians hold great appreciation for the youth of Al-Karama Square, who have reignited the flame of the Syrian revolution, complementing the steadfastness of Syrians in the northwest and across various regions, including those under the control of Assad and Iranian militias, as well as the SDF.
The alliance pointed out the role played by its constituent organizations in supporting the Suweida Movement from the outset, in collaboration with Suweida elites both domestically and in exile, ranging from Al-Karama Square to the U.S. Congress, clarifying that the uprising in Suweida is a Syrian issue that all Syrians everywhere should support and strengthen.
Representing the Syrian Independence Alliance were Dr. Zakaria Malahifji, Engineer Azzam Al-Hamwi, and writer Ibrahim Al-Jabain. Attending from the Suweida Movement’s political committee were Mr. Yamen Ma’ruf, Ms. Inas Naim, Engineer Socrates Nufal, and Dr. Jamal Al-Shoufi.
Both parties agreed to continue consultations to coordinate positions and communications, ensuring that national decisions remain free and independent from the influence of any non-Syrian party.
It is worth noting that The Syrian Independence Alliance (SIA) is a coordination and cooperation network extending from inside Syria to Turkey, Europe, and America. The call for its establishment was announced in early September, initiated by the Syrian American Initiative represented by Global Justice, the Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), the Euphrates Civilization Humanitarian Organization in the United States, the (SFP) and Dunia Adalati organizations in Turkey, the Damascus Studies, Thought, and Development Organization, the Syrian National Bloc, and the Syrian National Movement, in addition to the Arab Democratic Alliance and several organizations that provide advisory and professional support in human rights and specialized fields
