Inside Sweida: The Syrian city ravaged by sectarian violence - where bodies line streets and homes are burned

Inside the centre of Sweida city, there were continuing fierce battles for most of the day, between Druze militia led by cleric Hikmat al Hajiri and the Arab fighters supporting their Bedouin brethren.

Warning: This article contains details that some people may find disturbing.

We found the streets of Sweida city strewn with mutilated, burned and decomposing bodies as government security forces struggled to enforce the first day of a US-brokered ceasefire.
 
Large sections of the city seemed to be on fire as we entered the besieged, mainly Druze, city. There were multiple buildings, homes, flats, shops and businesses ravaged by flames.

We saw marauding groups of Arab tribal fighters breaking into homes and setting them alight. Others were spotted loading up vehicles with all sorts of goods.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I wasn't aware there were Druze outside Lebanon.

Who's funding the Islamist fundamentalists?  Saudi wahhabists?  United Arab Emirates?

From where and from whom are these nomadic goat herders getting the resources to make war?
