[00:00:00] Raqqa Governorate. Today we have a large number but we will bring them back
[00:00:03] to their work, with the exception of those who were
[00:00:07] already in their jobs.
[00:00:10] time ago, but there was no rush in So we might have more than 40,000 employees including those who
[00:00:12] were already in their jobs. We,
[00:00:15] at the Ministry of Administrative Development, under the guidance of the Minister and the brothers
[00:00:19] at the Ministry, have worked on a comprehensive plan to train these
[00:00:22] cadres, whether at the leadership level or at
[00:00:25] the executive level. We have comprehensive plans. We started
[00:00:29] to steadily return to integrating into about four months ago. We started implementing
[00:00:32] the training plans. By the way, the Directorate of Administrative Development is
[00:00:35] a newly established directorate in Raqqa, but
[00:00:38] during the four months that we started, we have made great progress.
[00:00:43] wonderful way, day and night. It has become one of We trained a very good number, I mean
[00:00:45] a large number compared to this short period. We tried
[00:00:48] to see, because during the last 15 years, Raqqa Governorate
[00:00:52] has not received any training. The cadres have not been developed, with the exception of
[00:00:56] those who lived outside the governorate. As for the reality of
[00:01:00] the employees in the governorate, we are trying, in cooperation with
[00:01:04] the brothers at the Ministry of Administrative Development and the brothers
[00:01:07] at the Governorate, to develop all these cadres
[00:01:10] through training plans, whether at the technical level,
[00:01:13] or at the strategic or operational
[00:01:18] trust begins with planning level, and even at is a leak at the leadership level. We have programs the borders. There are that we are working on
[00:01:21] to develop leaders in Raqqa Governorate.
[00:01:24] We also found a lot of support in this regard from the Governor,
[00:01:27] regarding the development of
[00:01:30] leaders in the Governorate at
[00:01:33] The stability of Syria today the first levels, who are the directors of directorates
[00:01:34] In and directors of institutions. There is also another aspect
[00:01:36] that we are doing as the Ministry of Administrative Development, and our role
[00:01:40] in it as the Directorate of Administrative Development in Raqqa,
[00:01:42] that this tactic of is that we are trying to conduct a simple evaluation of some
[00:01:46] Transitional justice is not government directorates in Raqqa in cooperation with the brothers in the Governorate
[00:01:48] has started to move from to develop operational plans that are in line with the current
[00:01:51] stage and keep pace with the development or let's say
[00:01:54] the rapid progress that we are working on in the Governorate, because it is not right
[00:01:58] for me to develop in the service aspect and have a delay in the human
[00:02:02] aspect. But thank God, during the past
[00:02:05] short period,
[00:02:08] a past that the law we have made great progress in this matter. Yes,
[00:02:11] Engineer Ali, if we conduct a new interview a year
[00:02:15] perhaps the opposite, so as not to overdo from now on this
[00:02:18] same program, what is the tangible achievement
[00:02:22] that you promise the people of Raqqa
[00:02:25] will have been completed during
[00:02:29] we will have some the coming period?
[00:02:32] Thank you very much, Mr. Muhammad, for this question that inspires
[00:02:36] before God. Now, my dear brother, let's go back to your question. optimism, and we are always optimistic, God willing. Raqqa
[00:02:40] is moving forward, God willing, with increasing and accelerating
[00:02:44] activity
[00:02:47] to keep pace with urban and service
[00:02:50] a dramatic work specialized in this development and a renaissance in building and recovery, God willing.
[00:02:55] of suffering in this Regarding the service aspects that
[00:02:58] were mentioned and previously discussed, the roads will be, God willing,
[00:03:02] in a better condition after a few months, meaning less than
[00:03:06] a year, God willing, the road network in
[00:03:09] Raqqa will be in a very
[00:03:11] good condition, and there will be some roads, we ask
[00:03:15] God Almighty for success, that some roads
[00:03:19] will be a model to be emulated at the level of other governorates,
[00:03:22] especially the current project that we are working on, the Southern Ring Road,
[00:03:26] which is between the two bridges.
[00:03:30] And the extension of the project to reach the Al-Mashlab
[00:03:33] checkpoint.
[00:03:36] lures young people, We will strive hard to ensure that the aspect of parks and green
[00:03:39] spaces in the city will also be rehabilitated in the coming
[00:03:43] months, God willing, before the end of the year that
[00:03:46] you mentioned, so that the gardens
[00:03:50] that we actually found to be deserted, unfortunately,
[00:03:53] not a garden except in name,
[00:03:56] we are working on rehabilitating them and
[00:04:00] putting all available resources
[00:04:04] to make them green again, God willing.
[00:04:06] trade that have been seized in Syria And regarding the sanitation aspect, which is
[00:04:09] a real suffering for the governorate, and it is the biggest problem
[00:04:12] of environmental pollution, God willing,
[00:04:15] we have also put plans, and we are still
[00:04:18] implementing
[00:04:21] governorates. So this some roads or some networks need to be replaced,
[00:04:25] and we will work on it with all sincerity. some need partial maintenance, some need new construction
[00:04:28] from scratch. Until we reach
[00:04:31] the stage of establishing some
[00:04:35] filtration or treatment or
[00:04:37] In Rwanda, which awoke from refining plants at the outlets of the Euphrates River.
[00:04:40] At that time, we will say that Raqqa has recovered significantly,
[00:04:43] God willing. We are committed to providing
[00:04:46] daily services in terms of cleanliness, and this is a very
[00:04:50] important matter. Regarding urban development, we are currently
[00:04:54] organizing the city, and
[00:04:57] you know that we signed a contract with a Turkish company
[00:05:00] in partnership with a Syrian company regarding
[00:05:03] an industrial and craft zone
[00:05:07] that will be established in the coming years, and within a year,
[00:05:10] God willing, a good stage will be completed.
[00:05:13] The establishment to move all
[00:05:16] the randomness regarding the scattered crafts
[00:05:19] here and there in the city's streets and in the city's areas
[00:05:23] to an organized, professional industrial and craft zone with decent
[00:05:27] services. The ambitions are many, yes,
[00:05:31] and the challenges are also many. We ask God to ease
[00:05:34] the difficulties and to enable us to perform our duty,
[00:05:36] and to continue the government's support
[00:05:39] for us. We need you asked Dr. Ammar about
[00:05:43] the government support. Government support, thank God,
[00:05:46] is available, and we need more due to
[00:05:50] the many challenges and needs. Yes.
[00:05:53] We thank you for these efforts, Engineer
[00:05:56] Ali Al-Hussein, Head of Raqqa City Council. Thank you very much.
[00:06:00] I return once again to Mr. Muharraf
[00:06:03] Al-Hussein. Mr. Muharraf, in many of
[00:06:07] the Syrian governorates, we notice that
[00:06:10] the people are carrying out campaigns, popular campaigns to rehabilitate
[00:06:14] certain places, to clean
[00:06:18] cities, and so on. From the media
[00:06:21] side, are there also awareness campaigns that you conduct
[00:06:24] in the Raqqa Media Directorate for the people of the city
[00:06:28] to do similar things to those
[00:06:31] campaigns?
[00:06:34] By God, Mr. Muhammad, of course, we have a special
[00:06:37] department in the production
[00:06:39] department,
[00:06:42] which is specialized in awareness.
[00:06:46] the previous period, we had a real
[00:06:49] problem, which is the issue of drowning in the Euphrates
[00:06:52] River. Of course, Raqqa Governorate recorded the highest
[00:06:55] number of drowning victims at the governorate
[00:06:59] level in Syria.
[00:07:02] So we had a real problem. This, you know,
[00:07:06] involves people's lives. So we carried out many
[00:07:09] programs to make people
[00:07:13] keep their children away, especially
[00:07:16] with the overflowing
[00:07:20] of the Euphrates River, which is currently
[00:07:23] flowing, meaning about 1200 cubic meters are currently
[00:07:27] overflowing the river. Cleanliness
[00:07:31] campaigns, honestly,
[00:07:34] we were planning for them.
[00:07:37] Perhaps
[00:07:41] cooperation with the Raqqa City Council, with Engineer
[00:07:45] Ali Al-Hussein, and also with
[00:07:48] some directorates, such as the Directorate of Endowments and the Directorate
[00:07:51] of Culture. God willing,
[00:07:54] we are striving for that, and we have a plan
[00:07:58] for there to be a program or
[00:08:03] field, especially the issue of cleanliness, meaning there is a lot
[00:08:08] regard.
[00:08:10] And God willing, soon we might
[00:08:14] see something good in this regard. Yes, thank you
[00:08:18] very much, Mr. Muharraf Al-Hussein, Director of the Media
[00:08:21] Directorate in Raqqa Governorate, and I also thank
[00:08:24] Mr. Ammar Al-Abdi, Director of Administrative Development
[00:08:28] in Raqqa Governorate. Thank you both very much.
[00:08:41] from luring youth into addiction
[00:08:44] to pushing them towards theft and crime. This is
[00:08:48] how the Homs Anti-Narcotics Directorate described
[00:08:52] the modus operandi of a network
[00:08:54] it said it had dismantled during a security operation that lasted
[00:08:58] for weeks. The operation resulted in the death of the network's leader
[00:09:02] and his assistant, and the arrest of nine
[00:09:05] people and the seizure of thousands of Captagon
[00:09:09] pills and quantities of hashish and
[00:09:13] in addition to weapons and stolen materials. In the
[00:09:17] confrontation, a member of the Special Task Force was martyred
[00:09:21] while performing his duty.
[00:09:45] Intensive security efforts to confront drug smuggling
[00:09:48] and promotion networks, as operations continue to target
[00:09:51] those involved in these activities to curb the spread
[00:09:55] of drug addiction and protect society from
[00:09:58] its repercussions.
[00:10:02] In the city of Homs, and as a continuation of the security operation that began
[00:10:06] two days ago, the Anti-Narcotics Branch, with the support of the Special
[00:10:09] Task Forces, managed to neutralize one of the most prominent
[00:10:13] leaders of drug smuggling and promotion networks, after
[00:10:16] security cordon was tightened around him and he was asked
[00:10:20] to surrender, but he refused to comply and started
[00:10:24] shooting. This necessitated dealing with him decisively to thwart
[00:10:27] his threat. During the clash, a member of the Special Task
[00:10:31] Forces was martyred while performing his duty in
[00:10:34] confronting drug trafficking
[00:10:36] networks.
[00:10:40] In Deir ez-Zor governorate, the Anti-Narcotics Branch
[00:10:43] carried out a swift security raid that resulted in the arrest
[00:10:46] of two wanted persons red-handed while they were
[00:10:50] promoting narcotic substances. Quantities of narcotic
[00:10:53] substances prepared for promotion were seized in their possession, including
[00:10:57] more than 28,000 narcotic pills,
[00:11:00] five slabs of hashish, and 90
[00:11:04] grams of crystal methamphetamine, in addition to
[00:11:08] a sensitive scale. The arrested persons, along with the seized items,
[00:11:11] were referred to the competent judiciary to take
[00:11:14] the necessary legal measures, in a clear message
[00:11:18] that demonstrates the state's firm will to eradicate
[00:11:21] smuggling and drug arms and to cut off
[00:11:25] all attempts to exploit Syrian territories in illicit
[00:11:28] cross-border activities.
[00:11:30] To talk about
[00:11:34] this qualitative security operation, we are joined
[00:11:37] by Mr. Basil
[00:11:41] Sanib, writer and security expert. He is with us from Berlin.
[00:11:44] Welcome, Mr. Basil. The report spoke about
[00:11:48] a security operation that lasted for several weeks and ended
[00:11:51] in an armed confrontation and the death of the network's
[00:11:55] leader, and the seizure of weapons, stolen
[00:11:58] materials, and narcotic substances. Your reading
[00:12:01] of the modus operandi of this network, and to what
[00:12:04] extent does it seem
[00:12:07] dangerous shift in the behavior of drug
[00:12:10] gangs
[00:12:13] trade to organized
[00:12:15] crime? Peace and blessings of Allah be upon
[00:12:19] you all. Allow me, before I answer
[00:12:23] your question, to start by extending our deepest
[00:12:26] condolences, our deepest condolences, to the family of the martyr Al-Mu'tasim
[00:12:30] Billah Dali, who was martyred while performing
[00:12:34] his duty with his comrades and colleagues in the Public
[00:12:37] Security Forces and in the Special Task Force while they were
[00:12:40] performing their duty to cleanse Syria from the filth
[00:12:43] and impurity of drug criminals and drug traffickers.
[00:12:46] Our condolences to his family in the region of Tembisi, in Homs in general
[00:12:50] and in Syria in general. We ask God Almighty to have mercy on him and forgive
[00:12:54] him and to accept him as a beautiful martyr. We consider him so, and God
[00:12:57] is his judge, and we do not praise anyone
[00:13:01] This criminal organization, this gang and criminal organization, is one of
[00:13:04] the most dangerous criminal organizations that have been
[00:13:08] seized in Syria, and that is for several reasons that I will explain
[00:13:12] to you. Firstly, this criminal organization
[00:13:14] extends its criminal activities outside
[00:13:18] Syria and inside Syria. This criminal
[00:13:22] organization was seized after the seizure of
[00:13:25] smugglers who were transporting drugs from Lebanon, as usual,
[00:13:29] from the militias of Hezbollah, the criminal, and others,
[00:13:32] and from the sectarian criminals in Lebanon to Syria. So
[00:13:36] it is bringing this poison into Syria. This criminal organization in Homs
[00:13:40] is bringing poison into Syria, and its criminal
[00:13:43] activities extend to distributing, promoting, and transporting drugs to the Jazira region, to
[00:13:47] Raqqa, and to Deir ez-Zor, and to the Syrian Jazira regions. So
[00:13:50] this is a dangerous criminal
[00:13:54] organization. Its other dangerous aspect is the multiplicity of its
[00:13:57] criminal activities. It
[00:14:01] students and citizens, into addiction, then it uses
[00:14:04] and recruits them for criminal activities. It engages
[00:14:07] in extortion, it smuggles weapons. Automatic rifles
[00:14:10] and explosives were seized in their possession.
[00:14:13] The other dangerous aspect of this criminal
[00:14:17] organization, which was eliminated by the grace of God and then by the efforts of the Anti-Narcotics
[00:14:21] Directorate, is its infiltration into the center of Homs city.
[00:14:26] The criminal organizations and places of distribution or transportation or drug
[00:14:31] are in the rural areas, in the outskirts. This criminal organization infiltrates the center of Homs city,
[00:14:35] which is in the center of Syria. It infiltrates between people's houses and between
[00:14:38] families, and its presence in Homs city, being in the center of Syria,
[00:14:41] means that it has routes and activities that extend to all
[00:14:46] organization was one of the most dangerous criminal organizations, and according to
[00:14:50] private information, since I am from Homs, I received information that this organization is not
[00:14:53] new, it has old activities from before the liberation. This
[00:14:57] is an old, deeply rooted gang in this area, and the persons
[00:15:01] who were arrested have old activities in the field of drug trade
[00:15:04] and crimes. Now, my vision regarding the Anti-Narcotics
[00:15:08] Directorate: the Anti-Narcotics Directorate, it is no secret to anyone that
[00:15:12] it is perhaps one of or perhaps the most active directorate in Syria.
[00:15:15] It has not tired or given up since the first day of liberation, day and night,
[00:15:19] and now in this particular operation, we notice the development
[00:15:23] of its tools and
[00:15:37] there was no rush despite the seizure and availability
[00:15:40] of information that had been obtained
[00:15:44] by the Anti-Narcotics Directorate some
[00:15:47] the operation. There was surveillance and monitoring
[00:15:50] and observation. Okay, okay, how much
[00:15:53] time do we need to cleanse the country from the legacy of the former
[00:15:57] regime?
[00:16:00] By God, my dear brother, whenever we apprehend a new gang, or drug dealers, or
[00:16:03] traffickers, or we discover
[00:16:06] the depth of the infiltration, unfortunately, of this scourge in Syria, in all cities, in
[00:16:10] all villages, in all rural areas.
[00:16:13] How much time will we need? I don't know, but the Anti-Narcotics
[00:16:17] Directorate is working in a
[00:16:20] the wonderful directorates at the global level in combating
[00:16:23] drugs. The quantities that have been seized in Syria of all types of drugs
[00:16:26] are unimaginable. Huge numbers have been
[00:16:30] seized over the past two years until now. What
[00:16:34] is the time we need? This depends on
[00:16:37] the extent of the spread of this phenomenon, the number of smugglers, the number of gangs
[00:16:41] present. It depends on other factors, such as border control, which we have
[00:16:45] and still emphasize again and again. Whenever
[00:16:48] we see manufactured drugs or raw materials in Syria, then there
[00:16:55] still some criminals who can still cross the borders,
[00:16:58] bring in raw materials, bring in narcotic substances, and take them out of
[00:17:01] Syria.
[00:17:03] Also, whenever we but have we not reached advanced stages in combating
[00:17:07] this dangerous scourge and those who promote
[00:17:11] it and those who trade in it?
[00:17:14] Of course, every arrest of a gang of the type I am talking about now,
[00:17:18] and before it, and so on, sends a serious message to
[00:17:21] other gangs that there is no longer
[00:17:24] a place in Syria. Neither the state nor the people, and this state is
[00:17:28] derived from the people, no longer accept the presence of this scourge
[00:17:32] among us, nor among our children, nor in our country, nor that
[00:17:35] we should be. We have made great progress in Syria, thank God.
[00:17:38] Syria has been mentioned in many international conferences
[00:17:42] and general security meetings, and some officials in countries around
[00:17:45] the world have mentioned its progress in combating drugs.
[00:17:49] We have talked about this a lot, and we are not exaggerating,
[00:17:53] the praise, so that no one thinks that we are praising them. In reality, they are doing
[00:17:56] a very good job. I told you that perhaps it is either
[00:18:00] the most active or one of the most active directorates that work in Syria day
[00:18:03] and night. Now its new tactics, its coordination
[00:18:07] with the special tasks,
[00:18:09] its carrying out of security work at the right moment after it has been added
[00:18:13] to carrying out preemptive actions.
[00:18:16] Our time is up. Thank you very much, Mr.
[00:18:19] Basil Al-Sanib, writer and security expert. You were
[00:18:22] with us from Berlin.
[00:18:25] Dear viewers, we have reached the end of this news hour. Thank you for
[00:18:29] your kind follow-up. May
[00:18:30] God protect you.
[00:19:15] arrest and lost about 15 people from
[00:19:18] my family. I am a daughter of a family completely annihilated.
[00:19:21] I wish
[00:19:26] God gives you patience
[00:19:29] and strength, and we are with you until you reach
[00:19:32] the truth.
[00:19:40] Your cause is not a secondary issue for us, nor is it a propaganda
[00:19:44] issue. This is a duty that we carry on our shoulders, God willing,
[00:20:03] Diplomatic
[00:20:05] presence in Syria
[00:20:08] is not just a protocol measure. Every
[00:20:12] new diplomatic representation
[00:20:14] means a new channel for communication and a wider
[00:20:18] space for dialogue and cooperation.
[00:20:22] Today, in Damascus, the accreditation
[00:20:25] ceremonies for ambassadors of Arab and foreign countries
[00:20:27] reflect the return of diplomatic
[00:20:31] presence to Syria.
[00:20:34] Syria is opening its doors
[00:20:37] to the world, and the world is expanding its presence in
[00:20:41] Damascus.
[00:20:50] The Syria that opens its doors today to receive
[00:20:54] the embassy of a friendly
[00:20:54] country
[00:20:58] is the same Syria that confined weapons under
[00:21:02] the umbrella of its legitimate institutions and regained
[00:21:05] its national
[00:21:06] territorial integrity a few days ago.
[00:21:11] And it emerged proudly from the blacklists that had its name
[00:21:14] on them for 47 years
[00:21:19] the global financial and aviation
[00:21:22] networks. This is the Syria that we are rebuilding today,
[00:21:25] open to its friends and present for its children.
[00:22:16] Hope is restored, not only for Syrians, but for the entire region.
[00:22:23] serves not only Syria, but the entire region, and it is a common
[00:22:26] interest for everyone. Syria now, as I mentioned
[00:22:29] to you, has great opportunities,
[00:22:32] and many have seized them, especially the Gulf countries. So
[00:22:36] investments started flowing into Syria successively.
[00:22:39] Our people in the Emirates are opportunists,
[00:22:43] so Dubai Ports hastened to invest in Tartus
[00:22:47] port.
[00:23:31] The calm may suggest that the war is over
[00:23:34] and that recovery from it today is limited to removing
[00:23:38] rubble and repaving roads.
[00:23:40] But the Syrian government
[00:23:57] announced from the first moment that
[00:23:59] the end of the real war
[00:24:02] and the solid building of state
[00:24:05] institutions begins with the application of transitional
[00:24:09] justice. Justice is a right guaranteed
[00:24:12] by the state, and today, as we take our steps
[00:24:16] towards building a new Syria, we affirm
[00:24:19] our commitment to the principle of transitional justice to ensure
[00:24:22] accountability for all who violated the law and committed crimes against
[00:24:26] the Syrian people. Based on the impossibility of
[00:24:30] a state building skyscrapers over mass graves or
[00:24:33] a financial system over looted rights,
[00:24:36] transitional justice in Syria transformed
[00:24:40] from a human rights slogan to an urgent necessity.
[00:24:44] Justice between the aspirations
[00:24:47] of victims and the requirements of the
[00:24:53] Millions of Syrians today await the time for accountability
[00:24:57] of those involved in violations and place great
[00:25:01] hopes on turning the page on the past as soon
[00:25:04] as possible.
[00:25:07] However, dozens of experiences throughout history prove that
[00:25:11] swift justice is fragile, and that
[00:25:13] paths formulated under the pressure of urgency
[00:25:17] can turn into a field for random
[00:25:20] revenge instead of applying
[00:25:23] the law.
[00:25:27] civil conflict in
[00:25:29] 1994,
[00:25:32] the miracle of accountability was not achieved immediately after the
[00:25:35] war ended, but rather the construction of the legal system
[00:25:38] and the establishment of the popular Gacaca courts
[00:25:41] took eight years of preparation
[00:25:44] and study before their activation in
[00:25:47] 2002. Those trials
[00:25:51] continued for 10 continuous years until
[00:25:54] their files were officially closed in
[00:25:57] 2012. Thus, the entire justice
[00:26:00] process, from the end of the conflict until the closing of the last
[00:26:04] cases, took 18 years, during which more
[00:26:08] than 1,200,000 defendants were tried
[00:26:11] without descending into chaos.
[00:26:14] Justice as a state
[00:26:16] path. In which
[00:26:19] room?
[00:26:22] The executive path of transitional justice began
[00:26:25] with the arrest of thousands of those involved in committing
[00:26:28] violations against the Syrian people through security
[00:26:33] operations that do not aim at revenge, but rather at
[00:26:36] ending the culture of impunity under the umbrella
[00:26:40] of Syrian
[00:26:41] law.
[00:26:48] In a step to establish the path of transitional justice,
[00:26:51] the Syrian government formed the National Authority
[00:26:55] for Transitional Justice to be concerned with uncovering the truth
[00:26:59] of the violations that were caused by the former
[00:27:02] regime and holding those responsible accountable
[00:27:05] in coordination with the relevant authorities. And because the vision
[00:27:09] of the victims' families is the basis of the justice path, building
[00:27:13] bridges of communication with survivors and victims' families was
[00:27:16] the most delicate task, as restoring
[00:27:21] listening to their pain in preparation
[00:27:23] for closing the gaps that the former regime tried
[00:27:27] to leave open forever.
[00:27:31] The first trials
[00:27:43] of justice are the foundation of stability and reconstruction.
[00:27:48] measured only by the number
[00:27:51] of trials and sentences issued, for accountability
[00:27:54] reveals the truth, and acknowledging harm restores
[00:27:58] trust. And between these combined
[00:28:01] paths, justice, as a long
[00:28:04] building process, has the ultimate goal
[00:28:07] of making violations
[00:28:10] does not allow to be repeated.
