Beirut – Syrian, USA and Jordanian officials said they said on Tuesday that they would cooperate on a permanent ceasefire in the southern Syrian region, which wrapped up deadly sectarian clashes last month, threatening the fragile transition of the country as a result of its annual civil war.
The announcement came after three -way interviews that took place in the Jordanian capital of Amman and were looking for ways to support post -war efforts to reconstruct new Syrian authorities.
The second such meeting was after the interviews that took place in July.
The first round focused on a ceasefire, which ended the days of clashes in the southern province of Sweid between government forces and local Bedouin tribes on one side and fighters from the other minority of the country on the other.
Hundreds were killed, including many civilians.
Given that the insurgents of the Islamist leadership in December excluded former President Bashar Assad in the rebels attack, the new government that she introduced in Damascus, tried to maintain stability and heal the wounds of almost 14 years of civil war.
Although the fighting in Sweida has largely ended, the tension remains, and the minority communities are increasingly worried about the new authorities in the capital of Damascus and called on a decentralized government.
A joint statement issued after Tuesday’s Amman’s interviews reaffirmed that Sweid “with all local communities is an integral part of” Syria and that the safety of its communities must be protected and “preserved in the process of reconstruction of the new Syria”.
He supported the efforts to investigate “crimes and violations” committed in Sweida – including accusations that government fighters executed other civilians. Videos of such killing caused outrage, including recent shots of what seems to be killed by a doctor in a military uniform in Sweida Hospital.
The tension also increased between the central government in Damascus and the American and Kurdish and Kurdish forces that control the northeast Syria. The agreement that was achieved in March to merge the Kurdish Syrian democratic forces with the Syrian army, consisting mostly of former rebels and insurgents, dispersed between the two sides.
The Syrian State Intelligence Agency Sana reported on Tuesday that SDF fighters infiltrated an area dominated by the Syrian army east of Aleppo, which led to clashes that killed a Syrian soldier.
Syria also faces the main economic and social challenges. In 2017, the United Nations estimates that it would cost Syria at least $ 250 billion, while some experts now claim that this number will be more likely to be at least $ 400 billion.
Several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and others, have promised investments worth billions of dollars to restore Syria’s infrastructure in recent months.
The Syrian Energy Minister Mohammed Al-Bashir met his Iraqi counterpart Hayan Abdel-Ganim in Iraq, discussing the possibility of reactivating the oil coastal city of Kirkuk and Syria in Baniyas.
Sana quoted Al-Bashir as a statement that Syria was importing 3 million barrels of oil per month in addition to its own production to cover local consumption.
The report quoted Abdel-Gani that these two countries would have to look at what would be needed to reactivate the pipeline that has suffered a new Škoda during the wars in both countries.
Before the war in the 2011 war, the oil sector was the pillar of the Syrian economy, producing about 380,000 barrels a day and exports – mostly to Europe – brought more than $ 3 billion in 2010. Since then, this sector has suffered widely.
