Dama
This article is about the geographical location. For the animal species, see
Dama Gazelle. For the board game, see
Turkish draughts. Dama is a village in southern
Syria, in
As Suwaydā' Governorate. It is located in the heart of the
Lejah lava plateau, 29 km north west of the city of
As Suwayda.The village, like most of the villages in
Jabal el Druze, was an old Roman location. Many of its houses are still in their original condition. The inhabitants are mostly
Druze and their main occupation is agriculture.Dama played a major role in the late stages of the
Great Syrian Revolution (1925-1927). It hosted the important Dama Convention which resulted in the refusal of French proposals and the collapse of negotiations between the Druze rebels and the French. It was also the site of some of the last battles in the revolution fought by guerrilla groups led by
Emir Adel Arslan.
