They carried banners in Arabic, English, and other languages, not for attention, but in desperation. Their demand is simple: lift the siege on Sweida Governorate. Let aid in. Let people live. For months, Sweida, home to a majority Druze population, has been subjected to a systematic blockade by the transitional government. Food is scarce. Medicine is scarcer. Fuel, electricity, and basic humanitarian goods have been reduced to bargaining chips in a slow, calculated form of punishment. If they are not slaughtered, they are starved. Where is the international community? Where are the leaders who never miss a chance to pledge solidarity with the oppressed? Where is the outrage that so often floods the headlines, when it’s politically convenient? The people of Sweida are not asking for weapons. They are asking for food. They are asking not to be forgotten. And yet, their pleas are met with deafening silence. When minority communities are targeted in Syria, the world turns its back. The West, so quick to speak of “universal rights”, retreats into strategic ambiguity. Arab leaders, meanwhile, normalize ties with the very regimes that impose these sieges and the UN, crippled by vetoes and geopolitical interests, issues statements that say everything and nothing at once.
