ALBAWABA - Less than a year following Assad's regime change in Syria, protests were reported in Jaramana city, southern Syria, on Wednesday, calling for the fall of the current regime in the country.
Dozens of people were seen in the streets of Jaramana city calling for a regime change as they chanted: "Julani, what do you want?" and "Julani, take your clothes and leave".
Some Syrian accounts on social media said that the "Druze community" in Jaramana has taken to the streets, demanding the overthrow of the "Jolani regime" over its clashes in Sweida. — Muhammad kassab (@mhdkassab) July 16, 2025
The protests came after the latest clashes between Syrian regime forces and the Druze community in Sweida.
France 24 said that fighting between Syrian government forces and local Druze fighters continued in the southern Druze city today, violating a ceasefire that was announced by the Syrian government earlier.
At the beginning, Syrian soldiers were dispatched to Sweida on Monday to quell fighting between Druze fighters and Bedouin men, but ended up clashing with the Druze militias.
No official casualty figures have been released since Monday, but the Syrian Interior Ministry revealed that 30 people were killed in clashes.
On the other hand, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) revealed a bigger figure, saying over 250 people had been killed as of Wednesday morning, including four children, five women and 138 soldiers and security forces.
