Tribal leader in Sweida calls for fighters from Syria to join fight against Druze

A tribal leader in Syria issued a call on Friday for other Bedouin tribes in all Syrian provinces to join the fight in Sweida against Druze fighters.

Abdul Moneim al-Naseef, a tribal leader, was seen in footage issuing a call for support as he was surrounded by armed tribesmen.

“To repel harm from our people, and in response to God’s command, we direct a call to the tribes in all Syrian provinces to head immediately to Suwayda to save our people from massacres and ethnic cleansing,” he said.
