Translation by Yusra Ahmed
(Zaman Al Wasl)- Many killing crimes happened within short time in southern Sweida city, have sparked fears among people of the predominantly Druze province about the disastrous effects of wide spread of arms in hands of criminals and gangs with intentional ignorance of their practices by the regime intelligence and security forces.
The victim of latest crime was a young man called Ahmed Bahsas, whose body was found this Monday morning near a blocks workshop in the village of Salim, although his home town was the town of Tamra in Shahba area.
Three days before Bahsas, a university student called Rayan Abo Fakhr was stabbed with knives near Ain al-Zaman, the ritually respected site for Druze.
Moreover, in the beginning of this month, an unidentified body was found and the forensic expert estimated that the victim was killed a month ago, later it was known to be the body of Alaa Fawzat al-Atrash.
Those three consecutive crimes within short period of time have incited a strong feeling of anger among people of the city who started to realise the nightmare of wide spread of arms in hands of criminal who do whatever they want without any deterrent of the government or the police.
These crimes are expected to drag the city in a series of other crimes, especially the killers of Abo Fakhr were known to be from the family of Ballan, who decided to take revenge from the killers and not wait for the law and the government to implement the punishment.
There is a prevailing feeling among many Druze in Sweida that the regime would sooner or later succeed in inciting an internal conflict among people of the same city with the same religious and social background after it managed to arm a group of mean and criminals under claims of fighting terrorism, but they targeted their own people and practised intimidation, looting an killing beside breaching taboo.
it seems that the deterioration of the security situation of Sweida has happened due to a collection of many factors such wide spread of arms, poverty and corruption, all that was planned and implemented by the regime. Added to the absence of the role of Sheikhs al-Akl and ignoring what has been happening, becaue they have not received orders from the regime’s intelligence to act.
All those circumstances seems to be time bombs more than ever before threatening of exploding the security of the city, that has been since the beginning of the Syrian war safe of barrel bombs and regime’s shelling.
