'The spokesperson for the Druze community in Sweida[/al-Suwayda, southern Syria, Druze majority] stated that the most suitable model for Syria is a secular democratic, decentralized, or federal system that guarantees the distribution of powers and partnership among all components of society.

[...] saying that “54 years of oppression and Assadist colonial rule” were linked to a centralized system of government and one-man decision-making. He added that this is what is now being imposed again by the interim government in Syria, noting that “the centralized system is the cause of destruction wherever it exists.”

He added that regional experiences, including Iran, show in his view that “centralization and monopoly over decision-making lead to injustice and the absence of popular and elite participation, which in turn leads to authoritarianism and the ruin of the country,” similar to what Syria is witnessing today.'
