Armed Bedouin clans in Syria have withdrawn from the southern city of Sweida after over a week of deadly clashes. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended the fighting between Sunni Bedouins and Druze militias, which had killed hundreds and disrupted Syria's fragile postwar transition. The clashes began with kidnappings and escalated into violence across the province. Syrian troops sent in to restore order generally sided with the Bedouins. Interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa had urged the Bedouins to leave Sweida, emphasizing the state's role in maintaining order. Humanitarian aid is now being sent to the area. The violence has deepened skepticism among Druze communities about Syria's leadership and hopes for peaceful coexistence.
