We, the Druze of the world, raise our voices loudly before the international community, governments and human rights organizations to expose the heinous crimes committed by the regime of Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani—formerly leader of jihadist groups Jabhat Al-Nusra and Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham—against innocent civilians in Sweida and Jabal al-Druze.
Jabal al-Druze, the land of dignity and history, has become a stage for horrific massacres carried out by these terrorist gangs: The slaughter of children and the elderly without mercy. The destruction of villages and homes and the looting of property. The forced displacement of peaceful families under threat of arms.
What kind of religion proclaims “Allahu Akbar” after killing an innocent soul?! We call on every free Muslim to publicly denounce these murderers and reject their actions, which have stained the name of Islam and turned it into a false banner for their massacres.
We demand that the United Nations and the UN Security Council open an urgent investigation and recognize the crimes taking place in Sweida as crimes against humanity.

We urge major world powers and human rights organizations to take concrete steps to isolate these terrorist groups. Cut off all their sources of funding and support. Provide immediate humanitarian aid to protect civilians in Jabal al-Druze.
