The voice of sedition was stronger: the separatist projects, the foreign funders — today he is a lapdog for something.

We could have avoided it with the simplest measures, but unfortunately he still trades on “dignity” to this day.

He still, to this hour, promises and neglects our people whenever the world…

So you should know that we had no sedition among us — there was no disagreement at the start of the matter.

After the fall of the regime, all our Syrian people headed to the Squares of Dignity; even when they grew crowded, they still went.

But unfortunately he wronged our people, wronged our Syrian people, and wronged our history.

He stirred sedition in us, caused division, and turned it into an issue affecting one component — the Syrian people.

We again confirm today that As-Suwayda’s decision is not tied to any one person.

We have religious authorities, senior sheikhs, family notables, doctors, and engineers.

We have intellectuals, free people, honorable people, and next of kin.

They are the ones who determine the fate and decisions of the governorate — not beholden to any individual.

We reiterate that we stand with our Syrian people and that honor is present today.

Between our people in Aleppo, and yesterday in Idlib, and an attack in Daraa and an attack in Damascus

Thank God — all our Syrian people are alive and okay, folks

Don't live by the lies and illusions they're forcing on you in the Suwayda governorate

These people want to slaughter you, settle among you, and kill you — is that supposed to be good?

What can I say today about those who are profiting from our people's blood, those who are trading you, our people of Suwayda?

Think about our situation. Let's be logical, let's be reasonable — you are people of dignity

And today Suwayda has become involved — let's be logical: there are people standing up for their dignity

There are people standing to defend honor, and they place a crown on our heads; we appreciate that

But who controls the governorate's decisions regarding abductions and thefts?

And certain regime elements participated in the massacre of the Syrian people — هذولي الأشخاص ميم نطلونا

And today those who follow under his cloak, and those slogans and lies — they have no substance on the ground

I have complete confidence in Mr. President today—his heart is with the country, and what he’s doing is what God will accept of him.

And don’t think we’re bowing down to anyone—God forbid; we’d never be like that in our lives.

But I only speak the truth—by God, he’s a real man.

I’m not attacking the person, because there is coordination between us and the state.

We speak from a responsible position, and this is our honor—this makes us proud.

Hold to account the corrupt who stole funds and took the cash—hold them accountable.

Tell them the money disappeared, the cash was taken; I assure you today that flour has arrived.

And we will not accept a siege on our people in Saudi Arabia.

Of course it’s not just us—this is the state’s plan of action.

Whether it’s Mr. President, Mr. Minister, or our people—the Free Syrians,

they will not accept a siege on those who have endured 14 years of war and siege by Bashar al‑Assad’s regime.

They will not accept a siege on any Syrian governorate, nor will they accept injustice.

As for us, we will cooperate—we will be part of this fabric.

This is what we worked hard for, and we provide for our people.
