[00:00:01] eliminating an enemy, while reflect on the
[00:00:04] content
[00:00:06] force them to that meets our ambitions at the present
[00:00:09] time, but it is supposed that it is part of life that there
[00:00:13] is always an aspiration to develop these
[00:00:16] media outlets, especially since these outlets were exclusive
[00:00:20] to a very
[00:00:22] narrow segment of Syrians, and now
[00:00:26] this door has been opened to everyone, and...
[00:00:31] This openness
[00:00:32] it can be taken into account that this has proven through figures, through
[00:00:35] access, and through empowerment,
[00:00:39] the existence of widespread dissemination for them
[00:00:42] in
[00:00:43] the addict a kind of various
[00:00:45] security so that he does not Syrian communities, both inside and outside, and it has also been able
[00:00:48] to reach the expatriate in
[00:00:53] Between a guidance signal on a large way. It has been able to keep up with the aspirations of Syrians in, excuse me, the activities
[00:00:57] used in of Syrians in most countries. Which
[00:01:00] resides on its lands, especially since everyone
[00:01:03] knows that the Syrian exodus was
[00:01:07] to various countries of the world, and therefore to keep up with
[00:01:10] at least 70 or 80% of the places
[00:01:13] where Syrians are present, it was
[00:01:16] a true indicator, an indicator
[00:01:19] that I see as very excellent on the
[00:01:22] level of
[00:01:23] of stability government media,
[00:01:26] and Syrians always aspire for
[00:01:30] there to be better
[00:01:33] through presence, through image, through dissemination,
[00:01:37] and they hope for continuous development of these
[00:01:40] means so that they rise to the level of the new Syria. Syria
[00:01:44] today, I don't think that it is
[00:01:47] one of those
[00:01:50] who believe that Syria should work,
[00:01:53] because what the children of Syria in the interior
[00:01:56] have offered during the past years
[00:02:01] deserves these sacrifices, that they have a solid
[00:02:04] and heard voice
[00:02:07] that meets their
[00:02:10] aspirations during the previous years,
[00:02:14] and also soothes their wounds
[00:02:17] that have deeply
[00:02:20] wounded
[00:02:23] all those who sympathize with human beings in
[00:02:26] various parts of the world, let alone the impact from the people of the country,
[00:02:30] and that this human impact and the Syrian narrative
[00:02:33] be created by Syrian journalists
[00:02:36] who lived through this
[00:02:39] our position, whether at tragedy and were burned by its fire. Therefore, today, it is their right
[00:02:43] to be the voice of this tragedy, but everyone aspires that
[00:02:47] this voice
[00:02:50] be worthy of the sacrifice of these
[00:02:52] of, I mean, the dismantling of 30 networks does Syrians. Yes, thank you, journalist Manar Abdul Razzaq,
[00:02:55] you were with us by phone from France. I also thank
[00:02:59] my guest, Professor Yahya Al-Safadi, who is also a journalist.
[00:03:02] Thank you for your presence with us, Professor Yahya, in this file.
[00:03:07] smuggle drugs from
[00:03:13] activity in
[00:03:16] beginning for a project that was agreed upon with The specialized security authorities in the Ministry of Interior
[00:03:19] are directing their painful blows to organized
[00:03:23] crime
[00:03:26] work on implementing this networks and drying up the sources of drug smuggling. In this context, it was revealed.
[00:03:30] Official data indicates the implementation of hundreds of qualitative
[00:03:33] security operations that resulted in the seizure of millions
[00:03:37] of prohibited pills and the dismantling
[00:03:39] of the most dangerous drug trafficking gangs. This topic
[00:03:43] is the focus of the second file
[00:04:07] In the framework of its diligent efforts to dry up the sources of
[00:04:10] organized crime and protect society from
[00:04:12] the dangers of the destructive scourge,
[00:04:15] the security agencies in the Ministry of Interior
[00:04:18] continue to direct their painful blows to trafficking
[00:04:21] and smuggling networks. In embodiment of this approach,
[00:04:24] the Anti-Narcotics Department revealed
[00:04:27] group of youth or the results of its security operations during the past
[00:04:30] first month, which resulted in thwarting large-scale criminal
[00:04:34] schemes and seizing huge quantities of
[00:04:38] narcotic drugs, which is a clear indication of the efficiency
[00:04:41] and strength of the field and intelligence
[00:04:45] It means movement. According to official data, the department
[00:04:47] carried out during the mentioned month 157
[00:04:51] precise security operations that culminated
[00:04:54] in the dismantling of 30 domestic
[00:04:56] chains of smuggling networks that were active in promotion and distribution.
[00:05:00] These operations resulted in the seizure of
[00:05:03] then the unemployed youth an arsenal of toxins, including
[00:05:04] 4,300
[00:05:07] Captagon pills and 28,000 narcotic
[00:05:11] pills. In addition to the confiscation
[00:05:13] of 582 kilograms of hashish
[00:05:17] and 7 kilograms of crystal
[00:05:19] methamphetamine. These figures are not just a milestone in
[00:05:23] an escalating security path adopted by the state
[00:05:27] since the fall of the former regime, as these efforts intersect with
[00:05:30] a massive outcome announced by the Anti-Narcotics Department
[00:05:34] coinciding with the International Day Against
[00:05:37] Drug Abuse in August last year, where the total number of security
[00:05:41] operations since the fall of the former regime
[00:05:43] reached 1550 operations, resulting in the dismantling
[00:05:47] of 90 international smuggling networks. These
[00:05:51] operations succeeded in dealing a severe blow to the capabilities of the gangs by
[00:05:55] seizing about 697
[00:05:57] million Captagon pills and 15
[00:06:00] tons of hashish, in addition to various quantities
[00:06:04] of crystal meth, cocaine, and heroin, as well as
[00:06:08] the basic materials manufacturing. These
[00:06:12] consecutive achievements affirm the Ministry of Interior's determination
[00:06:15] to continue pursuing the remnants of production and trafficking
[00:06:18] networks with all firmness, in parallel with
[00:06:21] strengthening regional and international
[00:06:25] cooperation to eradicate these cross-border crimes
[00:06:28] to defeat everything that threatens national
[00:06:31] and societal security and consolidate
[00:06:34] the pillars
[00:06:36] and security in the country.
[00:06:38] I welcome my esteemed guests, Issam Al-Abbas, security expert
[00:06:42] with us here in the studio. Welcome, Professor
[00:06:45] Issam. May God bless you. May God bless you. Also with us from Gaziantep in
[00:06:48] Turkey, journalist Ibrahim Al-Adlabi. Welcome, Professor
[00:06:52] Ibrahim. I start with you, Professor Issam.
[00:06:56] Your reading at the beginning, from a security and military perspective,
[00:06:59] of the latest outcome announced by the Anti-Narcotics Department
[00:07:03] for the month of October. First,
[00:07:07] may God bless you. Good evening, and I also greet Professor Ibrahim
[00:07:10] and the dear viewers.
[00:07:13] Of course, what you presented now on your esteemed screen of
[00:07:17] achievements by the Ministry of Interior and the Anti-Narcotics
[00:07:20] Department in confronting this
[00:07:23] crime are not just ordinary numbers. We are talking about
[00:07:27] 30 networks in a month. When
[00:07:30] we talk about dismantling a network, a drug network, we are not talking about
[00:07:33] a raid. We are talking about weeks of
[00:07:36] follow-up and raids,
[00:07:40] surveillance, and information gathering. We are talking about
[00:07:43] dismantling a complete network.
[00:07:47] We are talking about dismantling from the source to the supplier
[00:07:50] to the distributor. We are not talking about arresting one person here or one person
[00:07:54] there, a drug dealer here or a drug dealer there. We are talking about a complete
[00:07:57] network. This reflects the extent of the development in the work that
[00:08:01] is, of course, the arrest
[00:08:05] not mean that this was done in a month, because this means
[00:08:08] weeks of work. Yes, and diligent follow-up.
[00:08:19] About a remarkable development in the activity of the Anti-Narcotics
[00:08:23] Department and its follow-up
[00:08:26] eradicating this scourge, which is a real
[00:08:29] challenge in embodying the "Syria Without
[00:08:33] Drugs" campaign that was launched several months ago in cooperation with the Ministry
[00:08:37] of Health, because the security aspect
[00:08:40] alone is not enough, but rather it must include the awareness aspect, the health
[00:08:44] aspect, and the intellectual aspect. So I think,
[00:08:48] God willing, that Syria is moving in a positive
[00:08:51] and rapid direction towards achieving the slogan that
[00:08:55] was raised several months ago by all government ministries
[00:08:58] combined. Yes, Professor Ibrahim, through your field
[00:09:01] follow-up and coverage,
[00:09:04] which segments are most affected by
[00:09:07] these networks that were dismantled and announced to be dismantled
[00:09:10] in October?
[00:09:13] Welcome to you and all viewers and your esteemed guest. Actually, if you are
[00:09:17] talking about the targeted social groups, let's
[00:09:21] talk about the youth group whose ages range between
[00:09:24] 13 and 24 years old. This
[00:09:27] youth group is the most targeted, actually, by
[00:09:30] drug promoters and promoters of
[00:09:34] toxic substances in the Syrian street, especially since this
[00:09:39] those of the age group that grew up in
[00:09:43] the regime's areas or during the revolution in the regime's areas were actually victims
[00:09:47] of a continuous and organized promotion
[00:09:51] and trafficking process in the past, as before the liberation,
[00:09:54] Syria was a breeding ground for drug manufacturing. But today, we will not say
[00:09:58] that it has become a transit country, because even the internal security forces and the concerned
[00:10:02] ministries are trying to actually protect the borders
[00:10:05] and prevent the passage of these toxic substances through Syrian territory
[00:10:08] to other areas or to other neighboring countries. Therefore, if we are
[00:10:12] talking about the social group,
[00:10:15] or even the youth who did not have
[00:10:19] the opportunity to reach what they wanted to achieve
[00:10:22] their dreams, these networks of promoters and
[00:10:26] connections were able to reach this vulnerable group and actually
[00:10:31] engage in the process of addiction and
[00:10:35] to be swayed by the whims of these promoting networks.
[00:10:38] And here, actually, we must stop logically
[00:10:41] and differentiate between
[00:10:45] the addict and the promoter and dealer.
[00:10:48] It can be considered that the addict is a victim, and of course, if the law
[00:10:51] covers him and what he incurs from legal consequences, then
[00:10:57] addict can be entered into an awareness program, a health program,
[00:11:01] as your guest mentioned regarding the participation of the Ministry of Health, in addition to the Ministry
[00:11:04] of Information through awareness campaigns. Here, we must give
[00:11:10] entrench himself behind the promoter and consider himself part of the promotion
[00:11:13] network, because the addict is a victim, and if he does not feel the security
[00:11:17] of the state, he will go into hiding, and there will be
[00:11:21] a lack of trust between the internal security forces and
[00:11:25] these victims who, actually, should report
[00:11:28] promotion networks and report the people who
[00:11:31] are spreading this toxic substance in the Syrian
[00:11:35] streets or among the youth group that you mentioned.
[00:11:39] Yes, Professor Issam, returning to you, does the field
[00:11:42] map of the seized
[00:11:45] networks indicate a concentration of
[00:11:48] criminal activity in a specific area or in specific
[00:11:52] areas, and what is the security reason for that? If we
[00:11:56] talk about the report that was issued, it is clear that the
[00:11:59] report talks about dismantling networks, so we are talking about these
[00:12:02] drugs, whether they were manufactured locally or were
[00:12:05] imported or smuggled into the country from
[00:12:09] Lebanon, as your report mentioned, or were
[00:12:13] intended for smuggling outside Syria. So
[00:12:15] it is clear that the border
[00:12:18] areas are areas of drug
[00:12:21] smuggling networks, especially if these borders were,
[00:12:26] during the period of the criminal regime of Bashar
[00:12:29] al-Assad, these border areas were
[00:12:32] excellent for such
[00:12:34] networks and such
[00:12:38] crimes. Now, after the liberation and years
[00:12:42] of, I mean, the first year of liberation,
[00:12:44] this trade has become imported
[00:12:48] into these areas, so the issue of detecting it has also become, I mean,
[00:12:52] the capabilities of the Ministry of Interior are more capable of
[00:12:56] detecting these networks. But in general,
[00:12:59] we are not talking today about a specific
[00:13:03] area, but rather we are talking about a supply chain, naturally,
[00:13:07] passing from one border to another, so there is a new challenge, which is
[00:13:10] the continuation of regional cooperation in combating
[00:13:14] drugs. We have seen the results of this cooperation, frankly and truly, regarding
[00:13:17] the Syrian-Jordanian
[00:13:20] or Syrian-Turkish or even Syrian-Iraqi
[00:13:24] borders. And now, we have even seen results in controlling these
[00:13:28] networks when they were trying to
[00:13:32] our beloved Lebanon.
[00:13:35] Therefore, we are talking today about distinguished intelligence
[00:13:39] work in determining the
[00:13:42] entry points of these toxins and where these toxins are heading.
[00:13:46] So Syria has indeed transformed into a reliable partner
[00:13:50] and a partner that regional
[00:13:52] countries trust in combating drugs. It has moved
[00:13:56] from a threatening state to a true
[00:13:59] and active partner as a spearhead in fighting this
[00:14:03] cross-border crime. Yes, I mean, striking the head of the pyramid in these
[00:14:06] networks and dismantling them instead of the promoters,
[00:14:10] yes, the small promoters in
[00:14:13] this trade, how will it contribute to perhaps paralyzing the smuggling
[00:14:17] system during the next stage? The steps
[00:14:20] taken by the government agencies,
[00:14:23] through the numbers we follow
[00:14:25] and observe, perhaps to reach
[00:14:29] the lowest possible level of trafficking
[00:14:33] in these prohibited materials. A pivotal
[00:14:36] question, actually. Arresting
[00:14:40] promoters,
[00:14:43] you are actually arresting a small criminal,
[00:14:47] and he will recruit many other criminals as long as
[00:14:50] the source is present. Yes, as long as the source of these
[00:14:53] poisons is present.
[00:14:56] The Ministry today and the Anti-Narcotics Department, in cooperation with the General
[00:14:59] Intelligence, during
[00:15:02] the past month,
[00:15:05] dismantled 30 networks. What does 30 networks mean?
[00:15:10] from the source to the smallest criminal in
[00:15:14] this network. Therefore, you are talking about dismantling
[00:15:17] systems. You are talking about dismantling
[00:15:21] organized crime. You
[00:15:25] are uprooting it from its roots.
[00:15:28] Therefore, dismantling a network means,
[00:15:31] perhaps, dozens of people in every network, regardless of the number. You
[00:15:35] are talking today about
[00:15:39] arresting promoters or even some
[00:15:42] dealers, the main sources are still present,
[00:15:45] so the possibility of recruiting others is available. But when you talk about
[00:15:49] dismantling a network, you are talking about breaking
[00:15:53] a real axis of this cross-border organized crime.
[00:15:56] Therefore, today, the government's policy is clear on the issue
[00:16:00] of eradicating this crime from
[00:16:03] Syria and indeed making Syria as the slogan "Syria without drugs" was raised.
[00:16:07] God willing, Issam Al-Abasi, the security expert, my guest here in the studio,
[00:16:11] thank you very much. I also thank my guest, journalist Ibrahim
[00:16:14] Al-Adlabi, who was with us from Gaziantep. Thank you very
[00:16:18] much. Viewers, we have reached the end of this news hour. Until
[00:16:22] a new meeting, under God's care.
[00:17:08] Actually, we welcome the President and the accompanying delegation, and this is
[00:17:12] an affirmation of the strength and solidity of the relationship between
[00:17:16] Iraq and Syria, and God willing, this will be a good
[00:17:19] start for future and strategic projects, God willing.
[00:17:22] Relations
[00:17:28] between the two countries are very deep. There are also economic ties.
[00:17:31] We are very
[00:17:40] happy, by God, with this
[00:17:43] warm reception. We see that your hearts
[00:17:47] met us before your eyes. Geography says
[00:17:51] that the neighbor is the closest home, but wisdom
[00:17:54] says the closest blood, and God willing, the blood of Iraq and the blood
[00:17:58] of Syria is one blood, and perhaps our bloods are both
[00:18:01] are with you, God
[00:18:05] willing, one people, two countries.
[00:18:09] We want to revive our history. We want to restore economic
[00:18:12] cooperation, political cooperation. We unite
[00:18:17] the Arab or Islamic
[00:18:20] world level. Your security is our security,
[00:18:23] and vice versa. And God willing,
[00:18:26] soon we await your arrival to honor us
[00:18:29] in your second country, and you will be
[00:18:32] the hosts and we will be the guests. God
[00:18:34] save you. Okay,
[00:18:37] so it is very important that
[00:18:40] we utilize your presence today
[00:18:44] in your second country, Damascus, so that
[00:18:47] we can start a roadmap, God willing, that will be long
[00:18:49] and sustainable.
[00:18:59] Oh, Deraa, Syria,
[00:19:01] with you.
[00:19:07] Oh,
[00:19:08] with me.
[00:19:12] With me.
[00:19:17] This is a stand for survival and to emphasize
[00:19:20] that we are clinging to this land and will never leave
[00:19:23] it. Oh God!
[00:19:27] Oh God!
[00:19:30] God! Shake, shake, shake!
[00:19:34] And in order
[00:19:38] to confirm that Syria is one and united,
[00:19:41] and the Syrian people, with all their segments, are one.
[00:20:13] We are all one people, all Syrian conferences
[00:20:16] are one, and the Syrian people are one. And we are against Israeli interventions.
[00:21:43] the runway
[00:21:46] and precise monitoring from inside the control towers.
[00:21:51] Syrian aviation continues its steady
[00:21:54] development.
[00:21:57] It remains the bridge that connects Syria to the world.
[00:22:00] A training
[00:22:07] journey that shapes the contours
[00:22:10] of personality.
[00:22:16] A path that makes a difference.
[00:22:21] Behind this discipline is guidance and continuous
[00:22:24] follow-up.
[00:22:31] They chose the challenge at a young age,
[00:22:34] so that experience would hone their determination, youthful
[00:22:38] energies are invested, guided
[00:22:40] and trained.
[00:22:46] To transform power into awareness and challenge.
[00:22:50] into
[00:22:50] commitment.
[00:22:58] The future of the nation is embodied in the promising generation.
[00:24:01] Today is a literal translation of a real
[00:24:06] the European
[00:24:06] Union
[00:24:12] in order to
[00:24:16] system and this system related to reducing
[00:24:19] disaster risks.
[00:24:37] We will have a clear map
[00:24:40] of mines in Syria and contaminated
[00:24:43] areas.
[00:25:28] A dividing tape surrounds the crime
[00:25:31] scene,
[00:25:34] to begin the story of uncovering the truth.
[00:25:38] A lens documenting
[00:25:42] and vigilance preceding
[00:25:43] the steps.
[00:25:49] Organization guides criminal work towards precise
[00:25:53] investigation and institutional performance, comprehensive
[00:25:56] follow-up across all
[00:25:58] governorates.
[00:26:01] Eyes observing and searching, uncovering hidden
[00:26:04] threads so that every saboteur
[00:26:07] and perpetrator receives their rightful
[00:26:11] punishment. Criminal investigations, law prevails
[00:26:15] and justice is achieved.
[00:27:40] The military engineering department was sent to complete the work of
[00:27:43] removing mines
[00:27:44] and explosives.
[00:27:51] Entering Al-Joubarli village, then to Kuberlek village,
[00:27:55] and now we are in Al-Hurriyah village so that freedom may prevail
[00:27:59] throughout all lands, God willing, in the next stage.
[00:28:21] I salute them, the group that came with us,
[00:28:24] they were 100% disciplined and responded with us here, I mean, within 12
[00:28:28] hours
[00:28:30] with us.
[00:29:09] I swear by Almighty God, that I will be loyal
[00:29:13] and faithful
[00:29:16] to the Syrian Arab Republic, to the Syrian Arab Republic.
[00:29:56] The body of a missing person was found in the Raqqa countryside due to
[00:29:59] the floods, and civil defense teams are continuing
[00:30:02] their operations to evacuate trapped families and open closed
[00:30:06] roads.
[00:30:09] An ISIS terrorist cell involved in carrying out assassination
