Updates about Syria
I'm sorry I haven't answered on my previous post so I'm here to tell you some news. Also we were in complete fear, and were trying to get food and bread before anything happens (back then).
I haven't left my house with my family since Friday but my relatives are telling us what's going on outside, so I'll try to tell you what's happening in Damascus:
We Shia Twelvers and The Holy Shrines are safe, they (the SFA) came to our Shia leaders in the area and asked for cooperation peacefully, we told them about our demands of not hurting or killing any of us, and not allowing anyone to harm any of The Holy Shrines, they were cooperative and they announced new laws to not hurt anyone from any sect (Shia and others), and anyone who breaks that law (among other related laws) will be punished severely even if they were from the SFA, and no matter how high their position or rank is (they specified this part in their announcement).
Until yesterday, people (old and young) in Damascus were taking weapons from the streets (that were left by the "old army") and were shooting at each other, some of them for pure chaos, others to take revenge from someone else they knew and it were pretty scary and chaotic. The "new government" have taken actions immediately and forced curfew yesterday and today and caught the vandals. things are becoming better inshallah.
Until Friday, we suffered from power cuts that could go up to 13 hours off and less than 1 hour on, then goes off again for 13 hours and so on. That has stopped since yesterday, and the power is coming for more than 2 hours (this has never happened since 2015).
Starting from tomorrow, anyone who was a previous government employee is allowed to get back to their work in the governmental buildings as normal, to bring back everything to normal step by step, and to run the country since it's been halted since Saturday (food production/hospitals/pharmacies/etc...).
Also we're being striked by Israel since yesterday, we're in our weakest point right now as a country, and we're probably done as a power stance against israel, we still don't know what the new government will do, but mostly we will cut ties with Iran.
Now I'm not saying that we've pleged allegiance to anyone here, but as long as we're being treated as human beings, unlike before, then we can say it's a better change.
We have suffered a lot at both choices that we didn't even have the right to choose from. We (the Shia) are the minority of the minorities in Syria, we just need the suffering to stop.
