Druze worry about being behind in the post-war Syria

When the fire started outside his house in Damascus, Sahnaya in Damascus, Lama Al-Hassieh took his phone and closed himself in the bathroom.

For hours, he was strengthened in fear, like warriors in military style and fighters in the desert camouflage. A heavy machine gun was installed on a military vehicle under the balcony window.

“Jihad Druzaya” and “We will kill you, Druze,” they shouted.

He did not know who men were – extremists, government security forces or someone else – but the message was clear: it was not as safe as a druz.

Druze – a society with its own experience and beliefs, which is a unique experience and beliefs that the Shiite Islam, has historically protected in the political procedure.

Under the former President Bashar al-Assad, many drushes maintained a quiet loyalty to the state, complying with the 13-year-old sectarian bloodshed in Syria.

Many druze, especially in recent years, took to the streets during the revolt. However, Assad, who wants to describe Syria’s minority as defense against Islamist extremism, prevented the type of iron against his druze protesters in the rebellion against his authority.

While they are alone by Assad forces, Druze managed his own militias that defended the attacks of Sunni Muslim extremist groups, who consider Druze Berethalik.

However, Assad’s Rebels headed by Sunni Islamist, the temporary government, which formed a temporary government, and Druzi is now worried to isolate and targeting Syria.

The latest attacks on Druze communities of Islamist Militians in Damascus, the recent attacks made against the state.

In late April, a druze religious leader who insulted the Prophet Muhammad began with a leaky voice. Although the leader rejected this was his voice, the Syrian Interior Ministry has then confirmed that the record is false and damaged.

At the University of Homs, a video of a student in the center of Syria, with him, called for the Muslims to revenge on the sectors in the country.

Human rights in the UK Observatory for legal human rights, 17 civilians, 89 drouch fighters and 32 members of security forces were killed In a few days with Ashrife with the SahnayaAmbushed around the southern Jaramana and in the Suweida-Damascus highway.

The Syrian government, security forces, Shahrafur Shahnaya was taken to restore the security and stability of the operation, and this was reported to meet 16-year-old attacks.

Lama Zahereddine was a few weeks away from a pharmacy student at Damascus University, when violence reaches his village. The thing that started as a remote shooting angles has become a direct attack – gunfire fire, mortars and chaos passing through the neighborhood.

Uncle came to a small bus, he called for women and children to escape from the fire, men did not stay with light goals. “The attackers had heavy machine guns and maats,” said Lama. “We had nothing to do with it.”

Did not stop in the village of violence. Dormitory rooms were attacked at the University of Laman, and students were beaten with chains.

In one case, a student was merrily stabbed after asking.

“They (Invitters) left us our universities,” he said. “But how could I stay? I was five lessons and a vacation project away from my meaning. Why would I leave why?”

Like many drouch, the fear of Lama is not only physical attacks – it is one of what sees as a state that cannot offer protection.

“The government says they are unaffiliated. It’s beautiful. But when will they be responsible?” asked.

His trust was shaken by his classmates who joined him with an emoji who fleeed with him, with an emoji who fled with him.

“You never know how people do you,” he said. “I don’t know who I will trust.”

When no one is convinced that the attackers are alleged to someone, something is concerned about dragging in a manner that is in intolerance of Syria to religious minorities.

“We do not feel safe with these people,” he said.

Suweida was one of the men of Druze, and the day he hid in the bathroom of Laman, called for protection of Ashrife Sahnaya.

His caravan used mortar and drones ambushed by armed groups. Hadi was shot on the back, piercing his lung and broke several ribs.

A crying away from Inclusive Syria in Syria under the new leadership.

“Their ideology is not based on the law or state, no one will represent us, not religious or sectarian hatred,” he said.

“What is the law and state that represents us. The law is what is protected by everyone … I want to protect against the law.”

The Syrian government has repeatedly stressed the sovereignty and unity of Syrian territories and Syrian society, including the sects of the Syrian society.

Since the occasion of clashes and attacks, the government has declined to protect minority.

During the battle days, Israel allegedly attacked “Operators”, claiming that “operators” attacked the minority group to protect the minority group around the Sahnai.

In addition, the Syrian said he stressed an area near the Presidential Palace, saying that “any threat to the southern southern Southern Sea community”. Israel itself has a large number of druze citizens in the country, and Israel lives in the occupied Syrian Heights.

Ashrife Sahnaya, Lama Al-Hassanieh, said the atmosphere was sliding – it was “calm but careful.”

Again sees the neighbors, but the courage stretches.

“Trust has been broken. Now there are people in the city that does not come during the war. It is difficult to know who is already.”

Trust to the government remains thin.

“They say they are trying to protect all Syrians. Where are the real steps? Where is the fact?” Lama asked.

“I don’t want to call a minority. We are Syrians. We are all the same for those who are responsible for those who attack us.”
