Al-Suwaydaa has seen significant security tension, after protesters attacked the government Al-Saraya building with stones, while some young men stormed it and tore up the picture of Bashar Al-Assad, demanding the overthrow of the regime.

 

Protesters burned a security vehicle, damaging other cars, after security forces stormed a crowd of demonstrators and fired bullets to disperse protesters in Al-Suwaydaa city.

Protesters moved from Al-Mashnaqah roundabout, the “main centre of protests,” to Al-Seer square in Al-Suwaydaa city centre, and lit rubber tyres.

Protesters at the demonstration denounced poor living conditions, held up banners and chanted slogans calling for improvement.

Hours ago, Dozens of civilians gathered in Al-Mashnaqa roundabout square in Al-Suwaydaa city centre to protest against the deteriorating living conditions and the failure of the regime government to secure the most basic essentials in the city.

According to SOHR sources, dozens of people flocked to Al-Mashnaqah roundabout, calling for civilians to take part in the protests, coinciding with traffic paralysis on the central city road.
