For a second week, protesters have come out in Sweida in southwestern Syria to voice their anger at the government, with the Druze flag waving above demonstrators and banners of President Bashar al-Assad being set on fire.
At one point, demonstrators raided several offices belonging to the ruling Baath party in the Druze stronghold, kicking party members out of their offices, welding the doors shut and spray-painting anti-government slogans on the walls.
