Syria says agrees plan with Jordan, US to restore calm in Druze-majority Sweida

Syria, Jordan and the United States have agreed on a plan to restore stability in the southern Syrian province of Sweida after it was rocked by deadly clashes between members of the Druze minority sect and Bedouin tribes in July, Syria’s transitional government said Tuesday. The plan includes “launching a process of internal reconciliation” and prosecuting those involved in attacks on civilians.
