Over 50 people have been killed in recent clashes between Bedouin and Druse groups in Syria, according to a health official and a rights organization. The violence underscores the Syrian government’s struggle to maintain nationwide control amid ongoing ethnic and religious tensions following the end of the civil war.
Bedouin fighters passed by Syrian government security forces deployed near Sweida, where the clashes erupted between Druse militias and local clans. The conflict has intensified in the region, with reports indicating that the violence has spread beyond the initial areas of contention, creating a new front in the post-war landscape.
The Syrian government faces mounting pressure to address the escalating situation, as the instability threatens to undermine the country’s fragile peace. International observers and humanitarian groups have called for an immediate ceasefire and increased aid to affected regions.
Analysts suggest that the conflict reflects deeper societal divisions that have not been resolved since the end of the civil war. The involvement of local clans and militias continues to complicate efforts to restore order, with the potential for further violence and displacement in the region.
