A statement rejecting the interim government project led by the terrorist al-Joulani, affirming that Damascus and its people are far too great to be pawns for those who thrive on violence and extremism.

Damascus—the cradle of civilizations and the memory of kingdoms—will never bow to a wolf in sheep’s clothing, nor can an outsider lay claim to its glory.
The city that wrote the alphabets of civilization will not have its name dragged through the mud by fleeting disgrace.
The heart of history and identity cannot be a puppet for rogues, nor a trophy for fools hiding in its shadow.
The city of gold and tears, whose walls were raised by poetry, cannot be defiled, nor can impostors steal its crown.
It stands head and shoulders above all falsehood and will outlast every passing storm.

The attached photos clearly document signs of torture he endured before his death. Notably, Al-Maaz was among dozens of Sweida residents abducted on July 16, 2025.

The “Takkad” platform continues to claim “professionalism” while serving the agendas of those behind it. Their repeated blunders were evident again yesterday when they denied the report on the Mawlid al-Nabi decorations in Damascus.

On September 3, 2025, multiple sources in Damascus confirmed that Ministry of Defense members under the de facto authority entered Al-Buzuriyah district, banning festive displays and sweet distribution during the holiday, calling them “forbidden” and acts of individual creativity. Shop owners were ordered to remove decorations before the forces moved to Al-Harir Market.

Do “Takkad” administrators realize Damascus residents fear speaking out due to retaliation and intimidation by authorities?

This widely circulated video of a young Damascene further refutes the platform’s narrative.

A blatant violation of international and humanitarian law: A tank fired shells and deliberately ran over a wounded man in front of As-Suwayda National Hospital. It also shelled a building within the hospital grounds, crushed multiple civilian vehicles, and targeted residential buildings and commercial shops along the road between Jarrah Roundabout and the hospital.

This constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity, and may amount to genocide under Rome Statute (Arts. 6–8), 1948 Genocide Convention, Geneva Conventions (Common Art. 3), and UN Security Council Resolution 2286.
