Amer Rashid (R) works at his furniture carpentry workshop in the industrial zone of Sweida (Al-Suwayda) on September 15, 2026, after returning to work following an 11-day power outage in the area caused by clashes between local armed groups and government forces. In July 2025, clashes erupted in Sweida between Druze factions and Bedouin fighters, then government security forces and some tribal groups intervened on the side of the Bedouins. Sweida city and its surroundings now find themselves cut off from Damascus, with the road to the capital sporadically closed, affecting the flow of essential goods.
