Calm in Syria as tribal fighters pull out

DAMASCUS/SWEIDA — Residents reported calm in southern Syria's Sweida on Sunday after interior authorities said the previous night that Bedouin tribal fighters have withdrawn from the city.

The United Nations migration agency said the number of people displaced by the violence has risen to more than 128,000.

On Sunday morning, residents reported no sound of gunfire in the city after the interior ministry announced late on Saturday that Bedouin tribal fighters had left.
