Bedouins tell BBC they could return to fighting Druze in Syria

The Bedouins of Syria's Sweida province have told the BBC they are ready to return to fighting the Druze minority in the area if tensions between the two groups continue to escalate. The warning comes after reports of clashes between the two communities in the city of Sweida last week, which saw several people injured. The Bedouins are reportedly angered by what they see as the Druze's preferential treatment by the government and their refusal to grant them land rights. Both groups have been locked in a protracted struggle over resources and power in the region. The BBC spoke to multiple Bedouins from the region, who all expressed a willingness to take up arms again if tensions with the Druze persist and escalate further.
