[Regnum] In the Syrian city of Jaraman, not far from Damascus, on Sunday night there were armed clashes between various groups of the population. The suburb, home to hundreds of thousands of residents, is located east of the capital Damascus and is directly adjacent to the East Ghouta region. The number of its inhabitants has increased many times in recent years. A significant part of the population of Jaramana are Syrian Druze (a special ethno-confessional community), including those who migrated from the province of Al-Suwayda, as well as Palestinian and Iraqi refugees, most of whom were born or raised in Syria, as well as other Syrians, including displaced persons from occupied Syrian Golan.

#3  I can smell the fakes:

Author writes in Cyrillic but is graduate of University of Florida, and is a Davis United World College (UWC) Scholar.

Guy uses thousands of words to describe the partition of Syria, and a main arc of the "The situation is close to disaster" is to conclude: THE COUNTRY NEEDS REFORM.

No mention of the Persians, Turks, Jiahadis/Moslem Brotherhood, Americans, and Russians that are all jockeying for positions in Syria. Never mind that. Country needs reform, as the author states,

"The problems that led to the revolutionary situation in 2011 were never resolved during the war."

Nope. Muslim Brotherhood Jiahadis still have a stronghold in Hama. Decades of jiahadi unrest. They were bombed by Assad's father in 1982, and the most recent civil war basically conflagrated in Hama 2012.
