Leila is joined by two Sweida-based activists, Khuzama and Ian from the Interstices-Fajawat grassroots initiative, to talk about the recent unrest in Syria in which members of the Druze community were targeted.

In the first part, they got into what happened, the fault lines, the role of Israel as well as the agreement that was reached. 

The second part, starting at roughly 23 minutes in, is a dive into Sweida and the Syrian revolution, the role of women and the situation since the fall of the Assad regime.
