Dissident: Our demands are national and political, As-Suwayda has been wronged
The oppositionist from As-Suwayda, Dr. Kamal Salloum, said that the Syrian revolution returned from As-Suwayda and that the demands of its sons are national, political and livelihood demands. He pointed out that As-Suwayda has been oppressed since the so-called "Corrective Movement", and stressed that every Syrian governorate should manage its affairs by itself.
Demonstrations continue in As-Suwayda, southern Syria, where the province witnesses demonstrations every Friday, calling for political, economic, living and service reform.
On this, our agency held a meeting with the opposition figure from As-Suwayda, Dr. Kamal Salloum, during which he talked about the demands of the people of As-Suwayda, and how the Damascus government dealt with the demonstrations, in addition to the appropriate solution to the crisis in the country.
The revolution has returned from As-Suwayda
The dissident began his speech by saying: "The Syrian revolution has returned again from As-Suwayda Governorate. The demands that the peaceful movement demanded in As-Suwayda are national, political and livelihood demands at the same time."
The opposition doctor and participant in the As-Suwayda movement put forward several demands, the most important of which are:
To have a just civil state without partisan, sectarian or ethnic discrimination and without a monopoly on power.
Opening corruption files and holding those responsible for corruption and tyranny accountable.
Returning the looted to the state treasury from the officials, not replenishing the treasury from the people's money.
Abolition of the smart card and the resulting insult and contempt for all elements of citizenship.
Cancellation of security approvals that apply to real estate sales, cars, or the like.
Adjust prices.
Increasing the purchasing power of the citizen.
Disclose the fate of detainees within certain lists.
Supporting agriculture and farmers.
Confronting and dealing with drug traffickers, as Syria has become a base for the drug industry.
Surveying the real needy and providing them with aid.
Demanding the application of the law to become a state of law.
Damascus tried to procrastinate and intimidate and worked to cause a split in As-Suwayda
On how the Damascus government dealt with the demonstrations, Salloum said: "The Damascus government tried to procrastinate in responding to anything and did not respond to anything. The second step was sending massive reinforcements to As-Suwayda, where As-Suwayda was filled with security and military forces without contacting the demonstrators."
He added: "There have been relentless efforts for 10 years to cause a split within the national forces in As-Suwayda with all kinds of ethnicities. They have repeatedly tried to stir up strife among the governorate's ethnicities, but failed in that, so they tried to stir up strife between us and our neighbors, such as the people of Daraa and the people of Damascus countryside or any other party, and finally the quarrels began. Within the governorate, it seeks to cause a rupture in the relations between citizens and turn the matter into a civil war or civil disputes and strife, but things are still under control.
Regarding the continuation of the demonstrations, Salloum said: "The demonstrations will definitely continue and the possibility of their expansion is very positive because people sensed that this movement is a civil and peaceful movement that seeks to achieve democracy, achieve freedom and demand the rights of citizens."
Each province should run its own.
He refused to limit the demands to service and living, saying: "Among the demands I mentioned are clear political demands when we say the rule of law and a united Syria, when we say here Syria is here Suwayda, when we demand the names of the detainees and when we call for the abolition of partisan and ethnic discrimination, then these are national and political demands." .
Dr. Kamal Salloum explained the injustice that the As-Suwayda Governorate was subjected to by the Damascus government, and the appropriate solution to the crisis, saying: "The injustice practiced by the authority over the people pushed them to be prepared for any calls from abroad."
He added, "Since the independence of Syria, the national feeling has been the yardstick by which we measure any movement. We always say Syria is united and against fragmentation and secession, but we hope that a law will be implemented that ensures that there is a local administration in all governorates, not only in As-Suwayda. It must administer Each governorate has its own affairs, especially internal matters.
Opposition doctor Kamal Salloum concluded his speech by saying: “We in As-Suwayda feel that we have been wronged for 60 years, since the so-called corrective movement and the like. It was transferred to a second region in Syria, the tire factory was also transferred to a second region and did not provide any investment project to serve Suwayda. Only two projects have been completed since the era of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, the carpet and shoe factory, the cans distillation plant, and others, and nothing happened.
