[Damascus] In an unprecedented development since the start of the Syrian uprising in 2011, the Syrian government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, announced on Thursday that it had reached two separate agreements: one with community leaders in the city of Jaramana, and another with local military and religious figures in the southern province of Sweida. The deals call for the immediate surrender of medium and heavy weapons to the state and an increased deployment of army and security forces in both areas in an effort to restore security and contain rising sectarian tensions.
