Sweida: The Military Council Threatens to Liberate Damascus
The military council in Sweida province has released a video that has sparked widespread reactions, in which one of the council’s spokespersons threatens to liberate the Syrian capital, Damascus. He stated in his address: “Damascus is ours, and we want to liberate it from extremism,” which indicates a noticeable escalation in the tone regarding the city, which is one of the prominent centers of power in the country.
In the video, the speaker delivers direct messages that include explicit threats to move towards Damascus, considering that the process of "liberation" is an unavoidable matter to confront what he termed "prevailing forms of extremism."
These statements come amid rising political and military tensions in the region, raising concerns about the possibility of further escalation in the Syrian conflict that has not quieted since its outbreak.
