Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has called on Bedouin tribes in the country’s southeastern regions to uphold and commit to a ceasefire agreement, aiming to reduce violence and stabilize a turbulent area long affected by conflict.
In a recent statement, Assad emphasized the importance of peace and reconciliation, urging tribal leaders to work collaboratively with government forces to ensure security and rebuild trust. The appeal comes amid ongoing clashes between various armed groups and efforts by Damascus to consolidate control over strategic territories.
Observers note that securing the cooperation of Bedouin tribes is crucial for maintaining stability along key transport routes and oil-producing areas. The government’s push for ceasefire commitments reflects a broader strategy to restore order while addressing local grievances. 
Tribal representatives have yet to formally respond, but the move signals Damascus’s intent to engage traditional power structures in its conflict resolution efforts.
