Buses Arrive to Evacuate Civilians in Syria Amidst Stabilization Efforts
——————————-
Six buses arrived in Syria’s eastern Daraa province on Saturday to evacuate civilians from neighboring Suwayda, as part of ongoing efforts to stabilize the region, Anadolu Agency reported. Nour al-Din al-Baba, spokesperson for the Interior Ministry, described the evacuation as “temporary,” aimed at reestablishing law and order in Suwayda before residents can return.

This move follows a ceasefire that has been in effect since July 19, which brought an end to a week of deadly fighting between Druze and Bedouin factions, further complicated by Israeli intervention. Syria’s transitional administration, formed after Bashar al-Assad’s ouster on December 8, 2024, is actively working to restore stability across the country after nearly 25 years of authoritarian rule.
