[00:03:38] alleviating financial burdens on
[00:03:43] وهذه الشكوى سمعتها من
[00:03:54] of these obstructions. The first
[00:03:59] occupations, which forces residents Therefore, there was annoyance
[00:04:09] accidents have occurred as a result
[00:04:18] the implementation of orders from who occupy the sidewalks Association by a large surgical team that came down from
[00:04:21] and could not walk on
[00:04:28] in some places, it for them. Therefore, this
[00:04:39] be a campaign on
[00:04:50] our tour for today.
[00:04:53] the gathering of these stalls In its first axis, we highlight Idlib? the efforts made by Yes, and as city councils
[00:04:56] and municipalities in removing
[00:04:58] available in street obstructions and encroachments on as examples of public property and putting
[00:05:01] an end to the occupation of sidewalks and roads. As for
[00:05:04] our second axis, it is about free medical campaigns
[00:05:07] to perform operations for patients in many
[00:05:11] governorates. A new episode of Reporters' Tour,
[00:05:14] welcome. God bless you.
[00:05:17] The Idlib city council
[00:05:26] began removing obstructions from the sidewalks in
[00:05:30] traffic for citizens after they were occupied by
[00:05:34] shop owners. This came after
[00:05:38] appeals from the residents to work on removing the
[00:05:41] obstructions, while the city council began issuing
[00:05:44] warnings to those occupying the sidewalks four months
[00:05:47] ago. We follow this
[00:05:50] The sidewalk, everyone on my head, and you now
[00:05:54] immediately regarding
[00:05:56] the removal of obstructions from
[00:06:01] we issued warnings to violating shop owners who encroached on
[00:06:06] and roads. Some shops, unfortunately, did not respond to
[00:06:11] fined them with a financial fine.
[00:06:14] And today, this campaign after the financial fine for shop owners
[00:06:18] who responded to remove the obstructions, we
[00:06:22] confiscated some encroachments and violations. In
[00:06:25] the next phase, God willing, shops that do not comply with this
[00:06:29] act after implementing today's decision
[00:06:33] sidewalks and public roads will be sealed for a specific period of
[00:06:35] time. Our voice was heard,
[00:06:39] and finally this work was done.
[00:06:42] The good that all the young men did, and there was no occupation of sidewalks,
[00:06:46] and praise be to God, everything
[00:06:49] the sidewalk with peace of mind. Now, in this sun, imagine if
[00:06:53] the sidewalk was occupied, I would have to walk in the middle of the road, and the sun would hit me
[00:06:57] so that the shop owner who puts
[00:07:00] his goods there is happy. We requested
[00:07:03] fines by the government for these people
[00:07:06] who want to occupy the sidewalks.
[00:07:09] Based on this, I even linked all the residents that we have reached
[00:07:13] a state where traffic is really congested today.
[00:07:16] The streets sidewalk, which is
[00:07:20] basically prepared
[00:07:25] sidewalks so that they are not exposed to accidents. We reassure our people
[00:07:28] in Idlib that this campaign is ongoing,
[00:07:32] that the police's work in removing obstructions will be continuous
[00:07:35] and ongoing, whether in the evening or in the morning, God willing.
[00:07:39] In Idlib, the decision to remove
[00:07:42] obstructions from sidewalks began to be implemented
[00:07:45] after popular appeals to open sidewalks to citizens,
[00:07:48] according to them. And also, the shop
[00:07:52] will be sealed for a period of
[00:07:55] time. Moaz Al-Abbas,
[00:07:58] Idlib. For more, viewers, on this topic,
[00:08:02] our network of Syrian News correspondents joins
[00:08:06] us, Moaz Al-Abbas from Idlib, and also Muhammad Al-Ghazzawi
[00:08:08] from Daraa. Welcome, I'll start with you, Moaz, from
[00:08:12] where your report ended and from the appeals
[00:08:15] that were raised by the residents before we talk about
[00:08:19] obstructing traffic and pedestrians. After the four
[00:08:23] months passed, perhaps the warning
[00:08:26] that was issued by the city council, how can
[00:08:30] we assess the self-compliance rate before the concerned authorities intervene?
[00:08:34] Yes, Zaher, the decision to remove violations from sidewalks
[00:08:37] due to the many
[00:08:43] appeals from residents that hinder
[00:08:46] their movement came after
[00:08:50] a long period, perhaps four months. During these four
[00:08:53] months, the Idlib city council almost constantly
[00:08:56] issued warnings to shop owners to remove
[00:09:00] these obstructions from the sidewalks. Of course, there
[00:09:03] were two types
[00:09:07] type, which is considered, or what is called, "barracks" that
[00:09:10] were built on the sidewalks, whether with stones or
[00:09:14] iron. There was a campaign by the city
[00:09:17] council to remove these barracks,
[00:09:20] and these barracks, whether made of iron or stone,
[00:09:24] on the sidewalks. After that, he began to issue warnings
[00:09:27] continuously to those
[00:09:30] by placing goods on these sidewalks.
[00:09:34] Of course. Yes, Moaz, perhaps the connection
[00:09:36] with you was lost, Moaz. I will return
[00:09:39] to you, Moaz.
[00:09:42] I will turn to you, Muhammad Al-Ghazzawi, and before I start with you,
[00:09:46] I welcome Khalaf Al-Muhammad who joined us from Damascus. Muhammad,
[00:09:49] in Daraa, how does the scene of street
[00:09:53] occupations and encroachments in the governorate on
[00:09:56] roads look like? And has the municipality started similar campaigns
[00:09:59] to those we saw in
[00:10:04] we followed a few days ago, a report from
[00:10:08] the city of Al-Sanamin, where the director of Al-Sermiya
[00:10:11] district, Dr. Abdullah, held a meeting with the dignitaries
[00:10:15] of the residents to rehabilitate the popular market
[00:10:18] that connects the city on the main
[00:10:22] road, which is a type of occupation that
[00:10:26] hinders the movement of residents in the city of Al-Sanamin, which is considered
[00:10:30] one of the major cities in western Daraa,
[00:10:33] where the Al-Sadmin city council sent
[00:10:37] warnings to residents about
[00:10:40] the need to remove or move
[00:10:43] obstructions or occupations that occupy the roads from
[00:10:47] the sidewalk side, which is a public
[00:10:49] right. And there was a prior context from the residents regarding
[00:10:53] this phenomenon that has begun to burden
[00:10:56] the movement of passersby in
[00:11:00] that city, the city of Al-Sadmin, I mean. And this example
[00:11:03] has also been followed by the city of Nawa, whose city council
[00:11:07] has actually started sending warnings
[00:11:10] to shop
[00:11:14] owners and sidewalk owners who occupy
[00:11:17] sidewalks and public spaces and are near gardens that
[00:11:21] local councils throughout the governorate are striving, under the guidance of the governorate,
[00:11:25] to rehabilitate them as recreational areas
[00:11:29] for residents. Yes, yes, I will return
[00:11:32] to you, Muhammad. Perhaps the connection has been restored
[00:11:36] with Moaz. I will return to you, Moaz, and to
[00:11:39] Idlib. We were talking
[00:11:41] about obstructing traffic
[00:11:45] and pedestrians and about assessing the compliance
[00:11:48] rate before the concerned authorities intervened.
[00:11:52] Exactly, Zaher. After many warnings were issued
[00:11:55] by the Idlib City Council to shop owners, which lasted
[00:11:59] for about four
[00:12:00] months
[00:12:06] to remove these occupations, after removing the barracks,
[00:12:10] the main target was those who occupy the sidewalks.
[00:12:13] Due to the congestion in Idlib, in fact, with cars and motorcycles,
[00:12:17] which forces residents to walk in the middle
[00:12:21] of the street due to these occupations. Of course,
[00:12:25] a small number of shop owners, in fact,
[00:12:28] complied with removing these occupations,
[00:12:32] and the majority were still there. And even
[00:12:35] before implementing this operation yesterday, there was
[00:12:39] a tour by the head of the Idlib City Council
[00:12:42] to the shops to inform them
[00:12:46] that tomorrow there will be removal of occupations and violations.
[00:12:50] Despite that, there were many occupations.
[00:12:53] Therefore, the Idlib City Council, with the help of the police,
[00:12:57] began implementing this removal of occupations
[00:13:00] seriously and also fining those who
[00:13:04] did not remove these occupations and confiscating the goods that
[00:13:07] are on the sidewalks. Of course, this occupation or
[00:13:11] removal of these occupations will be divided into four phases.
[00:13:14] The first is a warning. The second is confiscation
[00:13:17] of the goods that are on the sidewalk. And if
[00:13:21] this happens again, there will be
[00:13:25] confiscation and also
[00:13:28] a financial penalty. After
[00:13:31] will be sealed for a period of time. Of course,
[00:13:35] according to the head of the city council, this
[00:13:39] police force that is removing
[00:13:42] day and night, meaning night shifts and day
[00:13:45] shifts, until these occupations are removed from the sidewalks.
[00:13:48] Why? Because there is severe congestion
[00:13:52] in Idlib, especially with the presence of cars
[00:13:55] and motorcycles. Shop owners, and I heard this complaint from
[00:13:59] residents, place their goods on the sidewalk and also
[00:14:02] وخاصه بظل وجود السيارات والدراجات الناريه
[00:14:05] اصحاب المحلات
[00:14:08] الاهالي يقومون بوضع بضائعهم على الرصيف وايضا
[00:14:12] place barriers in front of the sidewalk, meaning
[00:14:15] they occupy part of the street and also the sidewalk.
[00:14:20] from residents about these
[00:14:24] to walk in the middle of the street. When walking in the middle
[00:14:27] of the street, cars could hit them, motorcycles could hit them.
[00:14:30] And even traffic
[00:14:34] of this, and there were some fatalities and some
[00:14:37] injuries. And some of these fatalities were people with special needs
[00:14:41] who were forced to walk in the middle of the street
[00:14:46] the sidewalk that was originally designated
[00:14:49] decision came firmly to remove these
[00:14:52] occupations. Warnings were issued, and this campaign
[00:14:55] began in the main and crowded streets and will extend
[00:14:59] to the rest of the streets in Idlib. After that, there will
[00:15:04] other cities or on other large towns in the Idlib
[00:15:08] countryside until this campaign is implemented and the sidewalks
[00:15:11] are, in fact, the property of citizens, and citizens
[00:15:14] walk on them, and they are not the property of shop
[00:15:18] owners to display their goods on them. Yes, I will return
[00:15:21] to you, Moaz, to talk about the mechanism for dealing with goods.
[00:15:25] Confiscated and about the accompanying campaign, by talking
[00:15:29] about overcrowding. I will return to you, Khalaf. Greetings
[00:15:33] to you, Khalaf. Damascus, by its nature and the crowding
[00:15:38] sidewalks and public places. What is the status
[00:15:42] of these violations in the capital,
[00:15:43] Khalaf?
[00:15:46] Yes, Ziad, indeed, perhaps the most affected governorates
[00:15:51] and traffic obstructions on
[00:15:54] is Damascus governorate, and this is not new. In the era
[00:15:58] of the defunct regime, Zaher, as you know, there
[00:16:00] were many security branches that were part of the defunct security apparatuses.
[00:16:04] affiliated with the defunct regime. There were concrete
[00:16:07] blocks blocking many streets
[00:16:10] and narrowing the streets.
[00:16:13] And I am now in Kafr Sousa in central Damascus,
[00:16:17] Zaher, and this road
[00:16:21] of traffic obstacles from concrete blocks and others. So the problem in
[00:16:25] Damascus is not only a problem of street
[00:16:29] vendors broken cars
[00:16:33] and carts here on the edges of the sidewalks that also
[00:16:36] cause a second line of traffic
[00:16:40] due to the many of these cars,
[00:16:43] but also the concrete blocks that were in the form
[00:16:46] of security checkpoints and concrete blocks
[00:16:50] preventing access to some institutions
[00:16:53] and security branches during the era of the defunct regime. The Damascus
[00:16:57] governorate worked in several stages
[00:17:00] to remove these traffic
[00:17:03] obstacles. A campaign was launched against illegal
[00:17:06] street vendors and was aimed at closing
[00:17:09] these stalls, not permanently, but relocating them to
[00:17:13] popular markets known to the residents, where
[00:17:17] the stalls gather, and the governorate cleans
[00:17:20] these markets where the stalls gather. The governorate
[00:17:23] achieved two things in this matter. The first is not
[00:17:29] is not to have traffic
[00:17:33] obstructions. As colleague Moaz mentioned from
[00:17:35] Idlib, the occupations by the stalls take up
[00:17:39] a section of the road, between one meter and one
[00:17:44] to one and a half meters
[00:17:49] two obstacles: an obstacle for cars
[00:17:52] and an obstacle for pedestrians
[00:17:56] phase or the second campaign targeted
[00:17:59] Zaher, parked cars on the sides
[00:18:02] of roads, perhaps old cars,
[00:18:05] or broken cars, or abandoned cars. The Damascus
[00:18:09] governorate immediately responded to many
[00:18:13] various neighborhoods of Damascus governorate about these specific
[00:18:17] cars, so the governorate took them
[00:18:20] and impounded them and informed the owners
[00:18:23] of these cars to review the impoundment
[00:18:26] location. Also,
[00:18:29] finally, the third campaign
[00:18:33] targeted concrete blocks and the many
[00:18:36] checkpoints that the defunct regime used to place
[00:18:39] at the entrances of Damascus governorate neighborhoods. There were many
[00:18:43] concrete blocks, Zaher, at the entrances
[00:18:47] and also inside the streets and alleys in
[00:18:50] the governorate, obstructing the movement of pedestrians and cars
[00:18:54] alike. This campaign that I mentioned, did it
[00:18:58] aim to address traffic congestion, or was it
[00:19:01] for a constructive or organizational form related to urban
[00:19:05] appearance and reclaiming public property?
[00:19:09] Khalaf.
[00:19:12] If we talk about reducing traffic
[00:19:16] congestion in Damascus, Zaher, the matter
[00:19:19] is bigger than this campaign.
[00:19:22] It requires traffic engineering related
[00:19:25] to the infrastructure of the governorate
[00:19:28] itself, whether by expanding tunnels,
[00:19:31] also expanding traffic junctions, and also paving
[00:19:35] these roads. And also supporting them with tunnels
[00:19:39] and others, and also relocating some garages, which is
[00:19:42] indeed what the Traffic Engineering Directorate in Damascus
[00:19:46] Governorate did. They actually converted a number of roads
[00:19:49] to one-way and relocated some garages to other
[00:19:53] areas to reduce congestion. So traffic
[00:19:56] congestion, yes, it achieved a reduction, but not the required percentage,
[00:20:00] Zaher, because traffic congestion, even if it was reduced
[00:20:05] is still present in other
[00:20:09] places. The results or other results achieved by
[00:20:13] these campaigns are also the removal
[00:20:16] of these cars, which also reduced
[00:20:19] the placement of cars as a second line
[00:20:22] for citizens
[00:20:25] on both roads and roadside areas. And the other thing is
[00:20:30] in popular markets markets
[00:20:35] neighboring countries.
[00:20:50] Indulgence or exemption for some shops in some
[00:20:54] markets that have perhaps an old
[00:20:57] character. I'll move to Daraa
[00:21:00] and to you, Muhammad. You mentioned that the municipality
[00:21:04] council in Nawa started sending warnings. Is there a deadline
[00:21:07] given to those occupying sidewalks in Daraa
[00:21:10] to regularize their situation? And how are they being informed?
[00:21:13] Is it through mukhtars or personal notification?
[00:21:17] Yes. Through the follow-up
[00:21:21] apparatus by the local council
[00:21:25] or the municipal council in every city in
[00:21:29] Daraa governorate, especially in Nawa. Shop
[00:21:31] owners and street vendors who occupy public
[00:21:35] areas and sidewalks were informed through notices that give
[00:21:38] them a three-month deadline to regularize
[00:21:42] their situation. Their goods so that
[00:21:45] these goods are not subject to confiscation or perhaps
[00:21:48] a financial fine. There is cooperation from some
[00:21:52] shop owners regarding the deadline
[00:21:54] they were given, which is about to expire. And there
[00:21:58] are effective measures being taken by the Nawa city council
[00:22:01] to remove public occupations that occupy main roads,
[00:22:05] and we are talking about a traffic issue
[00:22:09] that also concerns traffic safety for vehicles
[00:22:11] and motorcycles, as colleagues mentioned. It is a real
[00:22:15] problem in the centers of major cities that
[00:22:18] attract residents
[00:22:22] vehicles. These occupations hinder traffic flow for both
[00:22:25] pedestrians and drivers of cars
[00:22:29] and those who drive vehicles
[00:22:33] matter increases the rate of accidents,
[00:22:37] and perhaps it is a popular demand today, under a repeated
[00:22:40] popular demand from the concerned authorities that these occupations
[00:22:43] hinder the movement of residents continuously in major cities,
[00:22:47] which prompted the councils and under the supervision of Daraa
[00:22:52] governorate, to hold several meetings to discuss
[00:22:54] the mechanism and methods of regulating this
[00:22:57] phenomenon
[00:23:00] that has become an obstacle to the movement of residents. We saw this in the city
[00:23:04] of Al-Sanamin until the administrative directorate of Al-Sanamin region held
[00:23:07] several
[00:23:10] the residents and dignitaries of the region and shop
[00:23:13] owners who are witnessing the main street in Al-Sanamin city
[00:23:17] with the popular market, which occupies
[00:23:20] approximately two hundred shops or two hundred
[00:23:23] stalls. This is what was reached later, and the residents
[00:23:27] and dignitaries agreed to find an alternative organized
[00:23:30] area in a civilized and organized
[00:23:33] administrative manner to move these
[00:23:38] location that was chosen by the director of Al-Sanamin
[00:23:42] region. And here I would like to point out that
[00:23:45] limited to removing them, but it is also
[00:23:49] an organizational and administrative work, and an organizational work that does
[00:23:53] not only concern the aesthetics of the region, but also concerns
[00:23:56] traffic safety and the general appearance of
[00:24:00] the main areas. And here I am talking about the main streets. We saw
[00:24:04] previously in the Daraa exhibition center, Zaher, in the Al-Sabeel
[00:24:07] neighborhood specifically, there were large occupations that the Daraa
[00:24:10] city council in the governorate center removed
[00:24:14] after also sending notices to the owners of these encroachments
[00:24:17] and informing them to vacate this location. Yes, it is of utmost
[00:24:20] necessity to allow or
[00:24:24] open space for pedestrians and for
[00:24:27] residents to cross safely. And this matter has become
[00:24:30] pleasing to the residents and to
[00:24:34] the residents of the area after the relocation of these kiosks
[00:24:37] and those who encroached to other areas. Yes, we will talk
[00:24:41] about the issue of financial fines. I will return to Idlib
[00:24:44] and to you, Moaz. You also mentioned the same issue
[00:24:47] of fines. Moaz mentioned confiscation and warning or
[00:24:51] sealing, and you mentioned that there will be an accompanying
[00:24:55] campaign. Before we talk about how and the mechanism
[00:24:58] for dealing with confiscated items, what is the mechanism
[00:25:01] of coordination between the police and the city council to ensure no
[00:25:04] friction during
[00:25:08] the competent authorities to remove these
[00:25:10] occupations?
[00:25:16] Of course, Zaher, the police force that came out of the city
[00:25:20] council to implement this campaign was accompanied by a police
[00:25:23] patrol that accompanies it everywhere
[00:25:27] in case there is friction or objection, so that
[00:25:30] the police can be in charge
[00:25:34] and handle this matter
[00:25:36] and facilitate it correctly.
[00:25:39] Why, Zaher, yes,
[00:25:42] yes, Moaz.
[00:25:46] Stalls or otherwise. Perhaps in Idlib
[00:25:50] the situation Yes, I hear you, Moaz.
[00:25:53] The situation is different.
[00:25:56] Why? In Idlib, there are no stalls
[00:26:00] because they were previously organized into markets and moved
[00:26:03] to them. Rather, the occupations are from shop owners
[00:26:06] who are owners of these shops or their tenants,
[00:26:10] and they place goods on the sidewalk and place
[00:26:13] an iron barrier or a motorcycle or other things in front of
[00:26:17] the sidewalk. And this matter caused
[00:26:20] annoyance among the residents, that anyone who wants to
[00:26:23] go or go to the market by motorcycle
[00:26:27] or car cannot
[00:26:30] even park his car and must
[00:26:33] park it far from the market so that he can
[00:26:37] enter the market because they occupy the sidewalk and
[00:26:40] in front of the sidewalk, they
[00:26:43] Therefore, this matter came after long warnings,
[00:26:47] and perhaps shop owners thought that there was leniency
[00:26:50] from the city council. But with the start of
[00:26:53] this campaign, there were confiscations by the city
[00:26:56] council of goods that were on the sidewalk. Of course,
[00:26:59] as I mentioned, it is after many warnings. And let
[00:27:03] me tell you here, Zaher, there is an important matter here,
[00:27:06] perhaps let me convey the second point of view. Shop
[00:27:12] our shops are small and cannot
[00:27:16] Therefore, we place them on the sidewalk. But here,
[00:27:20] in this context and with this need, there is a greater
[00:27:24] who are forced to walk in the street and could
[00:27:30] traffic accidents. Therefore, this sidewalk, according to the Idlib
[00:27:34] City Council, is designated for pedestrians and not for
[00:27:37] displaying goods. Therefore, there was firmness in dealing with and implementing
[00:27:41] these campaigns and removing
[00:27:44] the sidewalks. Of course, before we conclude this file,
[00:27:49] the screen, Moaz, how are confiscated
[00:27:52] goods dealt
[00:27:54] with?
[00:28:00] Zaher, after all the warnings that were given over the past
[00:28:03] days, or let me say over the past four months, now
[00:28:07] the confiscation of these violations has begun.
[00:28:10] Any violation on the sidewalk is confiscated completely,
[00:28:13] and if it recurs, a financial
[00:28:16] fine is imposed, and the goods are confiscated
[00:28:20] again. And if it recurs after that, the shop
[00:28:26] or the beginning of implementing this decision, has begun
[00:28:31] Yes, the confiscations, during our accompaniment
[00:28:34] of the city council and the patrol, confiscations
[00:28:38] occurred, and goods were confiscated and carried away so
[00:28:43] on the sidewalks. Of course, this campaign may continue
[00:28:46] for days, and perhaps it may continue for
[00:28:49] a long time until it is fully implemented throughout the city.
[00:28:53] After that, it will
[00:28:56] other cities. As I mentioned,
[00:28:59] campaign in the countryside. Thank you. I will stop here
[00:29:03] due to time constraints. Thank you, Moaz Al-Abbas, you were with us from Idlib,
[00:29:06] and thanks to Khalaf and Muhammad, you were with us from Daraa. Thank you,
[00:29:10] Syrian News correspondents.
[00:29:21] The Syrian-German Medical Association, S.G.M.A.,
[00:29:23] implemented a specialized medical
[00:29:27] campaign at the University Hospital for Heart Diseases and Surgery
[00:29:30] in Aleppo. This campaign aims to
[00:29:34] provide specialized healthcare to patients and transfer medical
[00:29:38] expertise, in addition to
[00:29:41] citizens, as all operations were provided free of
[00:29:44] charge, despite their high cost in private hospitals.
[00:29:48] We follow this
[00:29:48] material.
[00:29:58] My father, the patient, had acute coronary syndrome and chest
[00:30:01] pains. We performed examinations through the Sigma Association here at Aleppo
[00:30:05] University Hospital, and the examinations showed that he needed a surgical
[00:30:08] operation. The surgical operation is an open heart operation, an operation
[00:30:12] that is rarely performed here in Aleppo within the Sigma
[00:30:17] Germany, they are doing these operations for free, voluntarily.
[00:30:21] They are taking their leave to come down and perform these operations.
[00:30:24] And this is something that our country here needs, because people don't have
[00:30:28] the means to perform these
[00:30:29] operations.
[00:30:37] Yesterday, we admitted her to the hospital and they replaced her
[00:30:40] valve, and the operation was successful.
[00:30:43] I thank the staff and I thank whoever performed this operation.
[00:30:47] The operation was very, very wonderful.
[00:30:49] We hope these operations will be repeated in the city
[00:30:53] of Aleppo due to the circumstances we went
[00:30:56] through. What's the news? May God protect you.
