"Fear has begotten fear, and vendettas are growing out of vendettas. No one knows who started it, and no one seems to know how it will end". Last month I reported on simmering violence in #sweida between #Bedouin and #Druze for @newlinesmag, which has since erupted in recent days.
In Syria’s Sweida, a fragile peace between Druze and Bedouin communities is unraveling, fueled by mistrust, vendettas and a dangerous security vacuum, writes @CP__Ward for @newlinesmag.

In a symbolic move the army removed barricades around Lebanon's parliament following the new government’s formation. Since the 2019 Thawra, fences blocked public access to the government sector. This represents a physical indicator of Lebanon's politics 'opening up' once again.

In Lebanon, deeply riven by sectarian divides, few things unite the political class quite like the desire to protect each other from accountability for their kleptocratic, negligent behaviour.
In-depth: No one has been held accountable for the 2020 Beirut blast, but as political dynamics shift, the resumption of a probe offers some hope for justice. Will victims finally get justice as Beirut blast probe resumes? ⬇. ✍️ @CP__Ward.
