Southern Syria's Suwayda province witnessed a very interesting scene, where a Druze militant sniper set up his rifle on a building and started a live stream. The young man was also muttering about thanking the Kurds for their likes and follows. To be honest, it's hard to evaluate and understand this relaxed atmosphere during the ethnic killings. The clash between Arab tribal militias and Druze militants is just a meaningless fight between weak opponents.
The Suwayda province in Syria covers an area of about 5,550 square kilometers, with a population of 450,000 to 500,000 people. Ninety percent are Druze, with some Bedouin tribes. Although these Bedouins are few in number, they have considerable influence. During Assad's rule, members of the Bedouin tribes in Suwayda province long served in the government army, especially during the Ba'ath Party era, and had representatives in the parliament.
