bandannie (me) Not a word about the Israeli bombings and theft of land !

We are sharing this urgent update as violence continues to escalate in different parts of Syria, putting countless lives at risk and leaving entire communities gripped by fear.

At the heart of the crisis, that has so far claimed hundreds of civilian lives over the past months, is a dangerous truth and information vacuum. Disinformation and hate speech are deepening divisions, inciting violence and weaponising the anger that so many understandably feel as a result of lack of justice and accountability for the crimes committed by Assad and other groups.

Just this week civilians in Jaramana and Sahnaya, home to a large Druze community on the outskirts of Damascus, have been bombed and killed in so-called retaliations by armed factions, believed to be hardline extremists. Communities in Suwayda, southern Syria, are also facing attacks. The violence has sparked fears of escalating tensions between different sects leading people to flee their homes in uncertainty and fear.

The inability – or unwillingness – of the current authorities to control armed factions and end sectarian hate speech is deeply alarming. While fear is growing across Syria, so is a powerful, cross-sectarian demand for an end to the killing, justice, dialogue, and coexistence. From grieving families to feminist activists and local leaders, Syrians from all backgrounds are calling for peace. Their voices must be heard.

Now is the time for the Syrian interim authorities to take immediate, decisive action to stop the violence, protect all civilians regardless of sect, and uphold human dignity and international law. Their failure to act swiftly and effectively only deepens the crisis and leads to more bloodshed.

Syria is at a pivotal moment. It faces Israeli attacks, impunity for war crimes and disinformation designed to divide communities online. Together we can show that there is power in peaceful activism and that the Syrian revolution demanding a just, inclusive and democratic Syria is not yet over.

In solidarity,
