"The roadmap for a solution in Suwayda includes holding accountable those who attacked civilians, continuing humanitarian and medical aid, compensating those affected, ensuring the return of displaced persons, restoring basic services, deploying local Interior Ministry forces to protect roads, uncovering the fate of missing persons and returning abductees, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani said in a news release on Tuesday after meeting with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi and US Syria's envoy Tom Barrack in Damascus."
"Al-Shibani also said the government was working on a plan for the return of those displaced by the violence, who number more than 160,000, according to UN figures. He did not give details on how these steps would be achieved. The new plan includes proposals to launch an internal reconciliation process. Violence erupted on July 13 between Bedouin tribal fighters and Druze factions in the southern Syrian province."
A roadmap for Suwayda includes holding attackers accountable, continuing humanitarian and medical aid, compensating affected people, ensuring return of displaced persons, restoring basic services, deploying local Interior Ministry forces to protect roads, uncovering the fate of missing persons, and returning abductees. The government is working on a return plan for more than 160,000 displaced people, without specifying implementation details. The plan proposes launching an internal reconciliation process. Violence erupted on July 13 between Bedouin tribal fighters and Druze factions after the abduction of a Druze truck driver, drawing in fighters from other regions and leaving over 250 dead. A week-long ceasefire followed and government forces were deployed to restore order. Jordan borders Suwayda and has long confronted cross-border drug and weapons smuggling.
