00:00:30commercial stores and supply
00:00:33stores. This explosion caused
00:00:37Hikmat Al-Hijri in damage to buildings, properties, and civilian cars.
00:00:40Thank you very much, Muhammad Al-Jazairi, our correspondent from Jaramana.
00:00:43Thanks also to Professor Mustafa Al-Nuaimi, our guest and political analyst, who
00:00:47was with us a short while ago. We will move with you to the program "On the Table" with
00:01:06the beneficiary of this degree or this large degree of
00:01:07the beneficiary is whoever wants to undermine this
00:01:21present within it. Therefore,
00:01:23Jaramana maintained this
00:01:33if we want to use this A terrorist bombing in
00:01:36Jaramana, in a civilian passenger bus
00:01:40to take me, from the beginning, they wanted to take me to service. There are body parts, as the Ministry of Health
00:01:43says it is dealing with, and there are a number of injured people, seven
00:01:47or eight, so far. All the numbers are still
00:01:50preliminary.
00:01:53what Sweida is affected by from This bombing, this terrorist bombing that occurred in
00:01:57Jaramana
00:02:02and this project followed a statement issued today from Jaramana. This
00:02:05We offer our condolences, of course, to the statement also spoke about Jaramana's destination
00:02:09being Damascus, and that Jaramana's relationship
00:02:13to, I mean, to
00:02:13statement that was issued in with its neighbor in Ghouta different from what we is a red line, and that Syria is united,
00:02:15Jaramana currently is part and all this talk that
00:02:18appeared in the statement, and then this
00:02:30for the injured. Today on "On the Table," we will talk about
00:02:33Jaramana, we will talk about its statement,
00:02:35connected to this we will talk about its explosion, we will talk about the circumstances that preceded this
00:02:38event by days, and then the future of this
00:02:42city, in the words of its people. Welcome to "On the Table."
00:02:50between the project?

00:03:11it could be from the east, west, or stage with much Doctor. Welcome.
00:03:12civil peace, with much Welcome. Professor Rabie Munther.
00:03:15Welcome, Professor Salman Katiba. Welcome. Professor Muhannad
00:03:31does not carry a 50% Syria. They do not your comment. As you said, may God have mercy on the martyrs, and a speedy recovery
00:03:34for the injured.
00:03:36who is behind this bombing. It is a tragic matter, that we are in this situation
00:03:40and this bombing happens.
00:03:44have martyrs or children who died in Of course, we don't have complete and clear information yet, but it is indeed a very
00:03:49line bad
00:03:50believe it is and criminal bombing
00:03:53in a sensitive area. As we know, it happened on a
00:03:57service bus, and it reminds us, of course, of the bombings that happened a while ago,
00:04:00during the French president's time, in the same way. It seems that there are
00:04:06way: "Go back to your homes." Returning to do not change. explosive devices placed in these
00:04:09groups, threats from a number of vehicles. It seems to me that the matter is I don't know the extent
00:04:13of its I don't want to say seriousness,
00:04:16but it feels like there is a primitive approach
00:04:18residents. Some families in this to the matter, more than there are
00:04:21organized forces or international terrorists,
00:04:25other places. I think so. However, it is
00:04:28certainly a terrorist incident, and
00:04:32those who seek
00:04:35as an enemy. So, the civil society in to commit and followed up on the circumstances of
00:04:36and their guests were honored. I mean that this
00:04:37Sweida wants the state. The civil society in such crimes must be pursued. Of course,
00:04:41as
00:04:44we will see the position mentioned now in this you mentioned, there is a statement from the spiritual authority. And of course, the spiritual authority
00:04:48has around it
00:04:50from believing something a group of civil and national forces of educated
00:04:54youth who
00:04:56what this are working with this authority to protect civil
00:04:59peace in Jaramana and the common coexistence
00:05:02that Jaramana has truly been known for
00:05:05a number, perhaps different among all sects. Jaramana
00:05:06people has hundreds of thousands, there are different numbers,
00:05:09but until now, in my estimation,
00:05:12there is an example,
00:05:16a clear example, of how its people
00:05:20from all sects coexist, despite the problems it has.
00:05:23There are problems, but very few, very few,
00:05:26meaning there is something I want
00:05:30to add to what I just said,
00:05:32which is that there are incidents, but they are individual incidents,
00:05:36and there is a possibility of addressing them.
00:05:39Okay, Professor Rabie, now there will be investigations.
00:05:43Certainly, the party that committed this act
00:05:46will be known. But who benefits from such a bombing in your opinion? I believe the primary beneficiary
00:05:50is whoever wants to destabilize the security and civil peace in the city
00:05:54of Jaramana, no matter who they are. Today, the city of Jaramana
00:05:57is a city that has proven during a year and a half after the fall
00:06:01of the regime that the city has a high capacity for common coexistence,
00:06:05a high capacity to control its security and safety and preserve all components
00:06:08of Syrian society. I do not believe that there is a city and a geographical spot on Syrian
00:06:12land that has this high
00:06:15demographic diversity among its inhabitants. I believe
00:06:20model, whatever it may be. But I also want to say
00:06:24that Jaramana will not suffer from this psychological state. This is not
00:06:27the first of its kind. During the years of the Syrian revolution, the former
00:06:31regime tried dozens of times. More than five bombings occurred,
00:06:35and more than 250 martyrs fell in these bombings. The intention was always
00:06:38to destabilize and always to incite
00:06:43sects or minorities,
00:06:45term, against each other, or to sow
00:06:49discord and division, but they did not succeed. So I believe that it has the ability
00:06:52and immunity to overcome such
00:06:54acts. Professor Salman,
00:06:58please, who,
00:07:02who wants to destabilize civil peace in Jaramana? Who are these
00:07:05parties so that we don't talk about the unknown, so that the conversation
00:07:08is frank?
00:07:10We don't want to get into
00:07:13speculation, first of all, the incident is new.
00:07:17martyrs and we all wish
00:07:20a speedy recovery for the injured.
00:07:23The incident is new, and
00:07:26we must certainly wait for the investigations to clarify. Now, the beneficiary,
00:07:29I agree with what the brothers said,
00:07:32meaning the beneficiary is the one who wants to destabilize. Who is he from these
00:07:36parties? From these parties that are plotting against Jaramana?
00:07:39What kind of
00:07:42it's
00:07:45hard to talk about a specific party, but
00:07:47what happened in Jaramana
00:07:50throughout the entire previous
00:07:54period, there was
00:07:58one stance
00:08:01from all components. There
00:08:03was solidarity between all the components present. Jaramana
00:08:07has great diversity,
00:08:11and all Syrian factions are
00:08:13present in Jaramana. Throughout this period, all
00:08:17the residents of Jaramana were able
00:08:20to pass through this
00:08:25of
00:08:28this certainly did not please many
00:08:31parties. Among these parties, there are parties
00:08:35that do not want Jaramana to be, for example, a part of
00:08:40want Jaramana
00:08:43to maintain this civil peace that exists
00:08:46there. Meaning, there are parties that do not want Jaramana to
00:08:49become independent, to become independent. Do you mean it should not be
00:08:53part of Syria? Meaning Jaramana should not be independent, according to
00:08:56the logic of the parties, according to the logic of the parties you are talking about. Yes,
00:09:00you say they are parties that do not want Jaramana to be part of Syria.
00:09:04Perhaps there are many parties, perhaps there are parties
00:09:07that, during this period that we were talking about, are currently
00:09:11on their way. During this period, and as a result
00:09:15of the events that occurred, there were also
00:09:22something called Ansar al-Sunnah, etc.
00:09:26It happened. So, extremist groups, extremist groups, of course, and we do not
00:09:30know, we do not have a real idea about their
00:09:33There are
00:09:35groups on social media, etc. Do you believe these statements? You
00:09:39now, no, we do not believe or disbelieve. But
00:09:43it can provoke
00:09:46a large number of people who might believe and might carry out some
00:09:50actions. So this is a terrorist group.
00:09:53There have been, for example, in Syria,
00:09:55major crimes resulting
00:09:59sometimes
00:10:03that appeared on video. Great. So one of the parties is a terrorist party, these
00:10:07extremist organizations. Perhaps there are other parties.
00:10:10Perhaps from, meaning, in
00:10:14Jaramana,
00:10:19are not
00:10:21at ease.
00:10:26Meaning, they are not pleased with
00:10:29the situation in Jaramana in terms
00:10:32of the stance
00:10:37the Syrian state, that is able
00:10:40to deal with the various components present in
00:10:44Jaramana and achieve this harmony that we are in.
00:10:47Okay, Professor Muhannad,
00:10:51excuse me, the statement was issued today, and the statement was striking.
00:10:55The bombing happened in the evening.
00:10:57The timing,
00:10:59the synchronicity, is there
00:11:09of the word, and any party behind it is an
00:11:12absolutely terrorist party. It cannot be described in any other
00:11:16way. However, I want to go a little further than what
00:11:19the brothers and friends discussed
00:11:22about the bombing incident. Of course, the
00:11:25question marks or arrows that we can direct towards
00:11:31bombing, I would say that we have an event that happened
00:11:35some time ago, as political or security events in Syria. There may be
00:11:39a party that wants to destabilize the security and stability of the region,
00:11:42not only Jaramana, but a major event
00:11:45accompanied by a security event that has been going on for almost three
00:11:49days, with a state of alert and so on. There may be someone who wants
00:11:53to harm the state of security stability of the current
00:11:57Syrian state. Also, there are signs
00:12:00that may come from outside the borders. Who is benefiting from destabilizing
00:12:04civil peace in Jaramana, especially after the statement? It could be
00:12:08Israel. It could be Israel. One of the posts
00:12:12I read on Facebook, which is by the media personality Abdul Karim
00:12:15Al-Halabi, he says specifically that this is
00:12:18a clear message to the sheikhs, with respect
00:12:21to a very bad word, in Jaramana, after
00:12:24the statement that was issued from Jaramana,
00:12:27we are able to harm everywhere and strike anywhere
00:12:31in Damascus. This is available on the page of the media personality
00:12:34Abdul. Considering it's from outside the borders, not inside
00:12:38the borders. So this is a sign from one of the signs. There is
00:12:42someone who has no interest in any state
00:12:45of stability for the Syrian state, regardless
00:12:48of whether we are currently building and in a position of opposition or
00:12:54This position that we have taken, we can never compromise
00:12:57on the stability of the homeland as a homeland. As
00:13:01for the political disagreement within Syria,
00:13:04I believe that the opposition parties in Syria,
00:13:07or in Damascus, we distance ourselves a bit from them, that they are the cause. But
00:13:11I believe the cause is security par excellence, security par excellence,
00:13:15meaning that the disputes that have been happening in Syria
00:13:19for the past three or four days, which are accompanied by security alerts, may involve
00:13:22some cells or
00:13:25factions
00:13:28the Syrian state. They may have a role in this event. And I agree
00:13:32with the hint about factions from somewhere,
00:13:36south, any factions. Especially, and I reiterate,
00:13:40the event is still fresh, and the analyses may be
00:13:44confusing as the accurate information has not yet arrived. We, in the
00:13:47Syrian Daughters of Peace team, always try to gather information before
00:13:50presenting it. Therefore, this is an assumption, and this assumption
00:13:56accuracy rate, because we do not yet have enough
00:13:59information to link it to a specific party
00:14:03or affiliation, especially since there has been no claim of responsibility so far. Who
00:14:06claimed responsibility for this issue? We are only trying, through what is published
00:14:10on social media, to extract some news. But I
00:14:15best not to rush to judgment. We are not asking about the
00:14:19beneficiaries. Certainly, the investigation will take its course and will reveal
00:14:23the perpetrator. But we are looking for In short, the beneficiary is the party
00:14:27that does not want Syria to be stable.
00:14:30Yes, we now have our correspondent from Jaramana.
00:14:33Hello,
00:14:40can you hear me? Dyan, Dyan, can you hear me?
00:14:44Dyan. Yes, yes, I hear you.
00:14:48Where are you now and how is the situation now in
00:14:51where you are standing?
00:14:55Yes, we have reached the site
00:14:58of the incident.
00:15:04According to, okay, the sound,
00:15:07the sound is not clear,
00:15:09Dyan. We may call you back, we may
00:15:13call again later in this episode. Thank you very much, Dyan.
00:15:16Dr. Adham, a statement was issued today
00:15:19from Jaramana. Why was this statement issued,
00:15:23saying that Damascus is our qibla and we are the depth of Ghouta? What is the reason for this statement
00:15:27in Jaramana? Jaramana always issues these statements that affirm the unity
00:15:30of the stance and
00:15:33of Damascus and Ghouta and so on. This
00:15:37confirms the independence of the decision,
00:15:40meaning that it is not linked to Sweida or
00:15:44the National Guard and these forms that they, if we assume,
00:15:47try to divide the ranks, let's
00:15:51say. These are constant
00:15:54statement issued? There are several things that happened in Jaramana. The incident
00:15:57of our brother Raed, a wonderful activist,
00:16:01honest, of course, this
00:16:04is a misunderstanding from the part of Raed, he spoke, he
00:16:08seems to have misunderstood the nature
00:16:12of Jaramana and Jaramana's position, and so on. Then
00:16:15he was actually attacked by people who,
00:16:19by the way, might be in general security,
00:16:22and they might even have had connections
00:16:27the former regime,
00:16:30as usual, as we know. And it's as if, not only in this issue,
00:16:34but in many issues, it's as if the former regime is being
00:16:38reproduced in one way or another. A regime in Jaramana, in Jaramana
00:16:41in all of Syria. We are talking about Jaramana. Jaramana or
00:16:45elsewhere. I had an incident. I had an incident
00:16:48where a guest came to me from Egypt, a writer, and
00:16:51he wrote a book about the beginning of Sham and Egypt. I hosted him in one of
00:16:55the parks, and we were talking about the book, about
00:16:58Sham and Palestine and so on. There was someone
00:17:02sitting and listening to
00:17:06us. We went out, and the security asked me.
00:17:09A security patrol came. The security told me that we were talking about politics, and what did we have to do with it?
00:17:13And they wanted
00:17:17the then I told
00:17:20them, what's the story? One of my students,
00:17:23by the way, was among the patrol. He stopped us, just allow
00:17:26me a moment. He stopped us. I spoke to him.
00:17:29He called someone and then he let me go, saying that he would write a report about us talking
00:17:33politics. What I want to say is
00:17:37that we must strive to present
00:17:40a clear policy, clear
00:17:44in its features, on a path
00:17:47were on previously. This
00:17:53of, or at least an indicator,
00:17:56an indicator that we are moving in the right direction for the unity
00:18:02of course, are against
00:18:05and his group in the Jabal want. The statement,
00:18:07of course, is not in response to, it is in response
00:18:11Jaramana has no connection to, has no connection to the National Guard
00:18:14or the Bashaniyya, of course.
00:18:18That is the content of the statement, Professor Rabie. I believe that
00:18:22the confirmed confirmation is a natural matter. The city of Jaramana experienced several
00:18:25disturbances during the past period, or rather, they emerged strongly
00:18:29after the anniversary of the Sweida massacres and what happened in Sweida, and then
00:18:32the incident with Raed
00:18:35Sadeq, and so on. And here we can
00:18:39also point to the media's handling of the situation in a different way,
00:18:43exaggerating the event more than it deserves. Let me stop at this incident because it had a negative
00:18:47impact in that the media came and talked about a person
00:18:50we don't know who he is, what his description is,
00:18:53and then there was a kind of, "No, there are separatists
00:18:57here in this area, in the city of Jaramana." And then he appeared
00:19:00in a video saying that it was a reservoir for the shabiha and so on.
00:19:04This is direct incitement, this is direct incitement against the city. And this could have an
00:19:08effect on what happened today in the bombing, because I am practically what am I doing? I am
00:19:12putting this narrative, whether on official media or semi-official media, or adopting this issue.
00:19:16I am telling the people present who
00:19:21Sweida or elsewhere, "Look, those who are here are
00:19:25one or two kilometers away from you." So this is also a form of incitement
00:19:28that needs to be strongly resisted. So, going back to the statement,
00:19:32in 2011, with the start of the Syrian Revolution,
00:19:35the sheikhs and people of Jaramana confirmed what we are confirming now:
00:19:39that Ghouta is our neighbor and our borders
00:19:43And
00:19:45they did everything required of them to prove that this relationship is an exemplary relationship
00:19:49that cannot be tampered with. For example,
00:19:52at that time, in 2011, the sheikhs issued a religious
00:19:56ban stating that anyone who kills outside the city limits is prohibited from being prayed over
00:19:59or buried inside the city. This means that our relationship with our neighbors is a relationship that
00:20:03cannot be touched. This is out of caution. They also called for receiving
00:20:06families, all components, and specifically
00:20:10families who were forced to leave their homes,
00:20:13position is Jaramana's position since and even if we review Jaramana's statements
00:20:16from 2017 before the fall of the regime until today,
00:20:22statement repeated in all previous statements. So I believe
00:20:25that the city still confirms that it is part of the capital and cannot be otherwise.
00:20:28The people of the city are Syrians and will not choose
00:20:32or have any choice but to be Syrians. They have been in this land for more than
00:20:35a year. They did not descend in a basket and did not descend in a parachute. They are an
00:20:39essential part of the Syrian component, and they are insistent on this.
00:20:43Now, if there are people or positions
00:20:45or other projects that want to say
00:20:49otherwise, it is possible for the sectarian or tribal
00:20:52link to be present in the city of Jaramana. No, it is not possible.
00:20:56The city of Jaramana is an independent city, its decision is independent, and its people
00:21:01the statement, especially that we cannot be a post office box for anyone. This is
00:21:04a strong statement, meaning for anyone. This is a striking
00:21:08phrase, of course, that we do not want anyone from the people of the city, and its people know best
00:21:11their interests. They can decide what
00:21:15they deem appropriate. Whoever has any project or any idea
00:21:18should express it and discuss it
00:21:20and not pursue it externally. But this matter perhaps
00:21:24angers
00:21:27the Jabal, that Jaramana is
00:21:31outside his control, outside his opinion.
00:21:34Perhaps. We are not
00:21:37now in the process of angering anyone. We are
00:21:41affirming, I mean, we are affirming the confirmed, meaning
00:21:44that everything stated in the statement is actually
00:21:48nothing new. All of these are existing positions. So why
00:21:51was it issued then? It was issued as a result of, as Dr. Adham
00:21:55just said, some events that occurred
00:21:58recently, some disturbances that occurred
00:22:01in the recent period.
00:22:04Whether it was the incident of
00:22:06Professor Raed or
00:22:09what preceded it, the demonstrations that occurred,
00:22:12for example, contrary to public opinion, the demonstrations that
00:22:16glorified the anniversary.
00:22:37Meaning, as a result of these
00:22:40actions that went against
00:22:43public opinion in Jaramana, and
00:22:47all the events that accompanied
00:22:50it. So the people of Jaramana and its sheikhs wanted
00:22:54to confirm these constants
00:22:57that existed previously and highlight them and clarify them.
00:23:01Okay, now with the latest breaking news, two victims
00:23:04and 13 injured.
00:23:07Dyan Dompas, our correspondent from
00:23:10Jaramana, is with us, isn't that right?
00:23:13Yes, hello
00:23:15Dyan.
00:23:18Yes, the number
00:23:29of the explosion
00:23:31Of course, we arrived at the scene
00:23:34of the explosion in Jaramana city, Rif Dimashq,
00:23:38specifically in Al-Rawda neighborhood. This neighborhood, by its nature,
00:23:41Moaz, is a densely populated
00:23:44neighborhood, and it is a vibrant neighborhood. Now, at this
00:23:47moment, the
00:23:52touring this neighborhood. Civil Defense teams
00:23:56continue their work to open
00:23:59the road after
00:24:01the internal security forces imposed a security cordon
00:24:05and closed some roads leading
00:24:09to this neighborhood, units
00:24:12immediately began
00:24:15searching and investigating the circumstances
00:24:19of this. So far,
00:24:22there is no information about
00:24:26Of course, this bombing
00:24:30resulted from an improvised
00:24:32explosive device planted in one of the vehicles
00:24:36that operates on the internal transport in this neighborhood.
00:24:40Okay, Dyan, Dyan, the people next to you, what are they saying?
00:24:44I mean, what is the opinion of the people next to you? Let's hear
00:24:48their opinion. What are they saying? I didn't hear you,
00:24:51Moaz. The people next to you in the street, what
00:24:55are they saying? I mean, the people here
00:24:58truly say that
00:25:02since the bombing, there has been a state of panic
00:25:05and fear among most
00:25:08area have left, perhaps,
00:25:12to their relatives in
00:25:15They truly have no information.
00:25:18The
00:25:20authorities, who imposed the security cordon
00:25:25this bombing, have almost finished. The
00:25:29concerned authorities have finished
00:25:32moving the vehicle in which the bombing occurred,
00:25:36and the security forces immediately began opening
00:25:39the roads to traffic, and you can see behind me here
00:25:43Civil Defense teams removing
00:25:46bombing left behind, including
00:25:50damage to cars and public property.
00:25:52And
00:25:54immediately upon the bombing, all teams were mobilized
00:25:58at the level of the Directorate of Health
00:26:00and the Ministry of Interior,
00:26:03and also Civil Defense teams, and work began
00:26:07to transport the dead and injured
00:26:10to hospitals inside the city, including Al-Moussa Hospital.
00:26:14Thank you. And also I mean, yes, the work continues
00:26:18from Jaramana, our correspondent Dyan Janbas. Thank you
00:26:21very much. We will continue to be in contact with you to provide us
00:26:24with the latest information from Jaramana. Professor
00:26:27Muhannad,
00:26:29Jaramana's relationship with the Jabal is always a source of
00:26:32questions. The position of some
00:26:36of the Hijris in the Jabal and the position of Jaramana
00:26:39seem to be at odds,
00:26:43no doubt. Even within the same region,
00:26:46there must be a divergence of ideas, especially in Jabal
00:26:50al-Arab, and especially after the events that Sweida was subjected to.
00:26:54However, before I answer your question, I will present an idea that may be
00:26:57an idea that expresses the reality of the people of
00:27:01Jaramana. Jaramana,
00:27:04in its statement or in its collection of statements, always
00:27:07takes a positive
00:27:10neutrality in any problem, considering itself a natural
00:27:13place for a demographic
00:27:16gathering and demographic diversity of all
00:27:20races and ethnicities
00:27:25cohesion, this diversity within society,
00:27:28and Jaramana insists in all its statements that
00:27:32"we are true Syrians, the sons of this
00:27:36land. What is currently new in Jaramana is
00:27:40new and not original and does not represent the community in Jaramana.
00:27:43The community of Jaramana is a Syrian community, generation after generation, as our
00:27:47friends mentioned. However, this divergence is natural,
00:27:50that positions differ or these
00:27:53positions are affected by
00:27:56within. Now, I am not saying Hijris, I am saying
00:28:00that there is a project that Hikmat Al-Hijri is leading,
00:28:04is completely different from the national project that is also
00:28:08currently present in Sweida. Meaning, there are also in Sweida
00:28:11those who are committed
00:28:15the true Syrian identity, considering Sweida, the
00:28:19national situation there, is rooted throughout history, and I don't think
00:28:24component in the south is
00:28:29disagreement, and due to the particularity of the religious sect, that there would be
00:28:32people emotionally and religiously and affectionately
00:28:38community. So the people of Jaramana would be affected. But here,
00:28:41the question arises, what can I do
00:28:44and what can this government
00:28:47offer today to bridge this gap
00:28:53the national and he also tends,
00:28:56for me, it is necessary to
00:28:59Sweida from security files and convert them into
00:29:03humanitarian files. This is truly important, meaning separating the
00:29:06factional situation from the humanitarian situation. For example,
00:29:08let's take the file of students. It is currently a
00:29:12humanitarian file, but unfortunately, it is being dealt with as a security file,
00:29:16which is a problem. And the student in Sweida is
00:29:19ultimately a Syrian student. Therefore, converting
00:29:23files from security files to humanitarian files is the beginning
00:29:26of the solution, and considering some matters as above
00:29:29negotiation with the Syrian government. It is necessary to deal with them
00:29:33as files above negotiation, considering that I am a son of this country and not outside
00:29:37it. For example, the file of detainees is considered a humanitarian file
00:29:40that must be dealt with. There are people detained for more than six months for
00:29:44misdemeanors, photos on mobile phones, and so on.
00:29:47And their families are still appealing to the Syrian government to release
00:29:50them. In addition, there are many initiatives in the educational file
00:29:54that have been submitted but are being ignored. We hope that
00:29:58this voice will reach the submission of files. One last point, please, the file
00:30:02of the displaced is a humanitarian file. Dealing with it
00:30:05is not in a very simple
00:30:08homes does not happen. There is infrastructure first to prepare
00:30:12it, to encourage people. The displaced
00:30:16reject this matter. This works if the displaced project
00:30:19rejects all of this. He rejects it. Let's speak frankly. I
00:30:23am telling you frankly, if he rejects all of this,
00:30:27then today, as a state, I will deal with him as a rejector, and I will go
00:30:30to the civil and local community that supports me and wants me, and I will
00:30:34deal with him as a son of the country, not
00:30:39Sweida wants the Syrian homeland, but it wants it
00:30:43as it dreams. Ah, we are all children of a revolution. This is difficult.
