“O mean man, provide bread for your people first, then stand for election” | Activists draw anti-regime graffiti on walls in Al-Suwaidaa

Syrian Observatory activists in Al-Suwaidaa city have monitored young people drawing anti-regime graffiti, expressing their rejection of the incoming presidential election and the Iranian presence in Syria.

 

According to SOHR sources, activists of Al-Suwaidaa city seek to widen the anti-regime graffiti in most of the city’s neighbourhoods in order to express their dissatisfaction and anger against the deteriorating economic hardship and prevalence of poverty in Syria because of the policy of the Syrian regime’s present and his support to corruption.

 

On January 27, SOHR activists monitored ongoing popular anger in several areas in Al-Suwaidaa province over insulting the spiritual sheikh of “Al-Muwahhidun Al-Druze” (Druze community) by the head of the Military Intelligence branch in the southern sector. A few hours earlier, Al-Suwaidaa city experienced growing popular anger, while some individuals tore down posters of the Syrian regime president Bashar Al-Assad, amid ongoing efforts to defuse the tension. In the meantime, several prominent regime officials apologized to the spiritual sheikh of Druze, while considerable crowds came in the previous day from several Syrian provinces, including Damascus and Al-Quneitra, to the house of the spiritual sheikh in Qanawat town in Al-Suwaidaa countryside.
