Recent developments in the city of As-Suwayda and the repercussions that followed formed a central theme of the talks, with Abi al-Mouna stressing that the people of As-Suwayda represent an integral component of Syria's national fabric, inseparable from it.
The spiritual leader warned of the danger of using the events the region witnessed to justify any foreign interventions, reiterating his categorical rejection of any separatist tendencies or projects that might exploit the current circumstances to pursue agendas far removed from the interests of As-Suwayda and Syria as a whole.
