According to Syrian media, talks between the Assad regime and Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri, the spiritual leader of the Druze in Sweida (southern Syria), aimed at pacifying the situation after over a week of continuous protests, have proven unsuccessful.
All attention is now on the planned demonstrations set to take place tomorrow, on their scale, and their potential to stimulate anti-Assad sentiments not only within Sweida and Dara’a districts in southern Syria, but also beyond.
