President al-Sharaa says Syria is not a battleground for secessionist agendas, praises US support for national unity
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa reaffirmed on Saturday that Syria will not become a platform for secessionist projects, emphasizing the importance of preserving the country's sovereignty and unity. He welcomed Washington's stated support for Syria's territorial integrity. Speaking during a televised address, President al-Sharaa revealed that Damascus had received international calls to intervene and restore stability in the southern city of Sweida, following weeks of unrest and violent clashes. He blamed Israeli interference for reigniting tensions in the region, saying that the "blatant bombardment of southern Syria and Damascus had further destabilized the situation in Sweida.'' 'The Syrian state alone is capable of preserving its authority and sovereignty over all its territory,' al-Sharaa said, reiterating appreciation for the United States' assurances of support for Syria's unity. In light of what he described as a 'critical moment,' the president called on tribal leaders and members of the Druze community to stand united against efforts to incite sectarian strife. He emphasized that the government would firmly counter any attempt to fuel the flames of division. Al-Sharaa added that recent events had demonstrated that the people of Sweida largely support the Syrian state, 'except a small group,' reiterating that Syria will not tolerate fragmentation.

‘Malaysia our shared responsibility': PM calls for unity
BATU KAWAN, July 19 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reminded the people not to be influenced by racial hatred or express sentiments that could undermine national harmony. Instead, the prime minister called on the people to embrace unity in diversity, which he described as Malaysia's strength in driving the country's development. He stressed that incitement to racial hatred would not bring about national progress and that only stability could ensure sustainable development. Anwar said the Madani Government under his leadership was making continuous efforts to resolve the people's issues, including housing, poverty and the cost of living, without marginalising any race, especially minority communities. "I wish to remind the people of Malaysia that it is our shared responsibility. If we want to save this country, we must preserve national unity. This is our strength. "It is true that the Bumiputera Malays are the majority, but if we care for all - Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans and Kadazans - then we will be safe. We must stand united and uphold harmony. This is not merely a matter of necessity but about Malaysia's survival,' he said when officiating the National-Level Unity Week (SMP) 2025 celebration at the Batu Kawan Stadium grounds here today. — Bernama
