[00:00:06] the old currency exchange crisis amidst a state of in
[00:00:23] questions about the oversight mechanism Why are many forced to stand in
[00:00:38] crisis affecting young people
[00:00:41] اهلا بكم مشاهدينا اينما كنتم في هذه
[00:00:44] came and said to transfer it to In this new episode of Reboos, we will discuss with you the most prominent
[00:00:47] issues and topics that have attracted the attention of Syrians on social
[00:00:50] media in the past
[00:00:52] how they are sitting hours.
[00:00:54] on their phones playing
[00:01:00] The debate continues to escalate on social media after the results of the general secondary
[00:01:03] school exams were announced
[00:01:05] Well, where are the cleaning workers? Where is this in all its branches. After
[00:01:07] the dissatisfaction with the malfunction of the application dedicated to displaying the results, many
[00:01:11] to prevent congestion. This solution students found
[00:01:12] of young people themselves facing results that were
[00:01:14] agreed to not up to expectations, which prompted some of them to express their objection
[00:01:18] publicly. In this context, the Ministry of
[00:01:20] Education announced that it had started receiving objections to the exam results
[00:01:24] starting today until next Saturday,
[00:01:28] corresponding to the eighth of April. According to the decision, the student has the right
[00:01:32] the application centers witnessed to object to only two subjects, in addition to
[00:01:35] objecting to the penalty imposed on him, provided that he is allowed
[00:01:39] an additional objection to two other subjects if
[00:01:42] he benefited from the first objection in the two subjects.
[00:01:46] reduce As for the fees, the decision stipulates the collection of an amount of
[00:01:49] 120 Syrian pounds,
[00:01:53] provided that the objection fee of 70 pounds is refunded
[00:01:56] if the student's objection is proven correct
[00:02:00] and he benefits from his objection.
[00:02:03] Ibrahim, who Today, schools and centers designated for objections witnessed great
[00:02:06] congestion in a number of Syrian provinces.
[00:02:10] Yesterday, following the announcement of the general secondary
[00:02:13] school exam results, a number of students
[00:02:16] and their families
[00:02:18] regarding currency, a problem went to the Ministry of Education building in Damascus
[00:02:22] to object
[00:02:23] the moments of the bloody to the
[00:02:26] results. Minister of Education,
[00:02:43] and today Facebook
[00:02:46] people. In this congestion and clear slowness pages circulated a video clip of queues of students and their families in
[00:02:50] Damascus in front of one of the centers to pay
[00:02:52] the fees required for the objection process.
[00:02:56] We also follow this video.
[00:03:14] young man is now in minutes picking things from
[00:03:15] the bin every now and then. This
[00:03:16] little boy keeps climbing on
[00:03:22] And in front of the building of the Damascus
[00:03:22] them to the girl with him, who throws them on Education Directorate, one
[00:03:26] of the students spoke about a state of chaos during the process of
[00:03:30] are you going? Don't submitting objections to the
[00:03:34] results. There was a lot of chaos and poor organization. They closed the gates
[00:03:37] and no longer received anyone. You have to wait three
[00:03:41] dates that came out of hours in line to get the objection form, then you go back and wait in line three hours again to
[00:03:44] pay the financial receipt. You want to go back to the line a second, third
[00:03:48] time just to submit the objection. It's very
[00:03:51] difficult and very crowded and everyone is annoyed.
[00:03:55] And now
[00:03:59] they closed.
[00:04:02] May God give patience to his family and take revenge on
[00:04:07] Submit the objection request and God willing, we will finally benefit from this
[00:04:10] matter.
[00:04:14] The crowds were also present in front of the examination department in
[00:04:17] Daraa to submit objection requests to the examination
[00:04:20] results.
[00:04:38] The same situation in Aleppo, as the crowds were
[00:04:41] present at one of the centers for submitting objections to
[00:04:44] the secondary results.
[00:04:56] That is, in all Syrian governorates.
[00:05:00] Scenes of crowds and congestion and waiting
[00:05:03] and queues
[00:05:06] of weapons proliferation outside state institutions. Let's watch the car overtake that can be resolved in perhaps يعني minutes,
[00:05:09] this is what some say because when we followed the currency exchange process,
[00:05:13] for example, there were also queues and a lot of congestion
[00:05:16] in some centers that were exchanging currency. Today,
[00:05:20] when you want to object, you also go
[00:05:23] to the issue of electronic sites and submitting applications
[00:05:27] through them, which greatly alleviates
[00:05:30] the daily suffering of students, citizens, and families.
[00:05:35] queues in front of the buildings of directorates, whether
[00:05:38] education or even other examination centers,
[00:05:42] in order to submit an objection? That is, why is it not possible to submit the objection
[00:05:46] electronically and pay the fees also
[00:05:49] through electronic sites, perhaps,
[00:05:53] and in the end, we get
[00:05:56] rid of the issue of chaos
[00:06:00] and congestion that can happen, as we saw in the various video clips. Now let's go to Raqqa, where
[00:06:04] students who submitted objection requests also suffered from severe
[00:06:07] congestion and the long distance between the examination department
[00:06:10] and the finance department to pay the objection fees. Therefore, the Raqqa Information Directorate announced
[00:06:14] the transfer of the service of paying examination
[00:06:18] objection fees from the finance department to the examination department in the city
[00:06:23] is a successful and effective solution. Will
[00:06:27] this solution really
[00:06:30] alleviate congestion until it is implemented? Of course, we will see if
[00:06:34] it will reduce congestion or not. On social
[00:06:37] media, Syrians interacted regarding the results of the general secondary
[00:06:40] school exams and the congestion that
[00:06:45] for objections. Duha wrote, "May God
[00:06:49] help the students and their families.
[00:06:52] They should have designated more than
[00:06:55] one place to receive student objections in order to
[00:06:59] congestion in this suffocating weather. That is, congestion
[00:07:02] and summer. How will they gather together? Well, the supplementary is
[00:07:06] the truth. Unfortunately, they will not
[00:07:09] benefit from all these objections."
[00:07:15] was standing since 7:00 AM, was the first one because
[00:07:19] of the crowd and there was no discipline. I couldn't
[00:07:22] even
[00:07:24] bleed. Majd Hayek wrote, "No one is wronged. Some students
[00:07:28] studied and passed, and some students did not study and failed. This is natural in
[00:07:32] every country. There are smart ones and
[00:07:33] lazy ones."
[00:07:46] A large number of families spent long hours in front of the Raqqa Post Office
[00:07:50] in queues that stretched under the sun's rays and high
[00:07:53] temperatures, trying to exchange the old currency amid severe
[00:07:58] in procedures. With the continuation of suffering and the increasing state
[00:08:02] of discontent among the people, a number of young people went to Al-Naeem
[00:08:05] Roundabout in the city, where they organized a protest demanding urgent
[00:08:09] solutions to the currency exchange crisis and to improve
[00:08:13] basic services in the governorate. During the protest,
[00:08:16] participants chanted slogans against Raqqa Governor Abdul Rahman
[00:08:20] Salama, in a scene that reflects the extent
[00:08:23] of escalating popular resentment against the backdrop
[00:08:26] of the crisis. Following that,
[00:08:30] the Raqqa Media Directorate announced that it had reached solutions to the currency exchange problem
[00:08:33] in an attempt to contain the anger that had escalated in the past
[00:08:37] hours. Viewers, we will review the story
[00:08:40] from the beginning.
[00:08:43] The story began when the Raqqa Post Office witnessed
[00:08:47] severe congestion for currency exchange
[00:08:50] with rising temperatures, and we are in the summer
[00:08:53] season, amidst demands for government
[00:08:56] intervention to solve this
[00:08:58] crisis.
[00:09:02] How is the situation in Raqqa? Yesterday, from 6
[00:09:05] AM to 6 PM, no one came. Brother, we've been here since 4
[00:09:09] AM today and no one has come to us. They're closed, crowded, and there's only one
[00:09:12] office. I mean, come and see how the situation is, brother. It's a shame that people
[00:09:16] are standing in the sun like this. We brought 10 million
[00:09:19] with us. Look, these 10 million are in your bank
[00:09:23] and the post office, but they only exchange one million for us. I told
[00:09:26] him my father is done and exhausted. My father is done and exhausted. He only comes with you
[00:09:29] and look at the cancer and sitting here and so on. Look at
[00:09:32] the people, 10,000 people are sitting here. For what? The one who has 10
[00:09:36] million, five million, and the traders outside take 20,000 Syrian
[00:09:40] pounds for every 100 dollars.
[00:09:43] Where are the 100 dollars? They exchange the dollar for 18
[00:09:46] and the dollar for 13,000. And look, all the Arabs are standing here. This
[00:09:50] center does not serve 10% of these people. That is, 80%
[00:09:53] of Raqqa needs 10 or 15 centers to fix
[00:09:56] the situation. We created this crisis, maybe they will see it and find us a solution.
[00:10:00] The soldier is tired and we are tired and the citizen is tired. This is for
[00:10:04] nothing. We need a solution. We need
[00:10:07] more than one place, more than one center. As a shop owner,
[00:10:10] I need 15 million. If I exchange one
[00:10:14] million every day, I will need 15 days, and the deadline is three days. May God reward you with good
[00:10:18] and we need a solution to this issue. This was followed by
[00:10:22] a protest by the people at Al-Naeem roundabout, during which
[00:10:25] they called on the concerned authorities to find urgent solutions to alleviate
[00:10:31] escalating dissatisfaction with congestion and slow procedures at
[00:10:35] exchange centers. It's been seven
[00:10:38] years since they started exchanging currency
[00:10:42] from the very beginning. Why is it that here in the eastern provinces, especially in Raqqa,
[00:10:46] it hasn't been 15 days? Why this injustice?
[00:10:49] Why this injustice? 35 centers in the governorates.
[00:10:52] Raqqa has one.
[00:10:57] Every governorate has 20 or 30 centers. Why does Raqqa only have
[00:11:00] one center? What kind of injustice is this? They want to
[00:11:03] steal people's money. Today, the post office director
[00:11:09] Damascus in cash. Okay, when I transfer it to Damascus
[00:11:11] in cash, I put 25 million. When I want to
[00:11:15] withdraw it, he tells me it's not new currency. Okay,
[00:11:19] if he gives me new currency, he wants 75 for every million.
[00:11:23] What kind of injustice is this? This is theft.
[00:11:33] This is injustice. May God take revenge on him and all corrupt officials.
[00:11:47] Oh, executive office, we currently have an executive office.
[00:11:51] We hope that the executive office will play its role. Today, currency is only a part of it.
[00:11:55] Honestly, it's starting to become clear to officials and those concerned with the country's
[00:11:58] affairs that if resentment doesn't go down to the streets,
[00:12:02] it will escalate every day and every moment. You, with this mindset
[00:12:05] that resembles everything but the mindset of building a state,
[00:12:09] you are a group that is working with this mindset. If you want
[00:12:12] to build a state with this mindset, then that is ignorance, and that is a problem.
[00:12:15] And if you are working as traders, then that is an even bigger
[00:12:19] problem. What we are seeing now is that there is no state
[00:12:23] mindset, there are arbitrary decisions. Brother, is it
[00:12:26] reasonable that a state and government ten
[00:12:29] or fifteen days ago,
[00:12:32] Facebook and people in the street are warning them and feel that there is a problem
[00:12:36] coming, and they are not listening? For more than 15 days,
[00:12:40] we have been saying that there is a problem coming
[00:12:43] coming regarding appointments from abroad, a problem
[00:12:47] coming regarding the decision to reinstate those who were dismissed,
[00:12:50] a problem coming regarding the lack of justice in electricity distribution,
[00:12:53] a bigger problem will happen because of the non-acceptance of the people of Raqqa
[00:12:56] and the people of the eastern region in general of security. This one has an extra
[00:13:00] two years, this one has a reduction,
[00:13:04] this one has I don't know what. These are all problems that are
[00:13:07] accumulating. We don't want these problems to explode, because in the end,
[00:13:11] no one wins. Oh governor, oh administration, the governor
[00:13:14] may not be the governor anymore. This is for the millionth time, and we
[00:13:17] address him.
[00:13:19] This is a speech to President Ahmed Al-Shara. Anything
[00:13:23] that happens in the country is on Facebook.
[00:13:41] The protesters at Al-Naeem Roundabout in Raqqa also demanded an improvement in living
[00:13:44] conditions and services there, and chanted slogans demanding
[00:13:48] the dismissal
[00:13:50] of the
[00:13:53] governor, the people's governor.
[00:14:13] Syrians interacted on social media regarding the protests in Raqqa.
[00:14:16] Let's review the most prominent comments. Saleh
[00:14:19] Ahmed wrote, "The
[00:14:22] optimal solution to this problem is to extend
[00:14:25] the deadline and make state institutions, bakeries, and gas
[00:14:28] stations absorb the old currency from the market to facilitate
[00:14:32] the exchange process and reduce signs of tension
[00:14:34] and alleviate congestion in front of exchange
[00:14:38] centers."
[00:14:40] Shaima wrote, "Even if a decision to extend is issued,
[00:14:44] they will limit you to a specific amount, which is
[00:14:46] one million per person."
[00:14:50] Muhannad Beshi wrote, "The solution to the problem is simple: extend the period for exchanging currency in Raqqa
[00:14:54] and expand the centers for exchanging old
[00:14:57] currency. Why create problems
[00:15:12] when solutions are in our hands?" Following the protests, the Raqqa Information Directorate announced
[00:15:15] that the city's governor, Abdul Rahman Salama, had contacted the governor of the Central Bank
[00:15:19] of Syria and agreed to continue withdrawing currency at three
[00:15:22] centers: the Central Bank branch, the Central Bank in
[00:15:26] Damascus, and the Central Bank branch in Hasakah,
[00:15:29] even after the deadline expired. He added that the post
[00:15:33] offices in the governorate will continue to receive currency exchange
[00:15:36] requests until Thursday, including the main post office
[00:15:41] the city.
[00:15:55] The phenomenon of electronic violence and its repercussions casts
[00:15:58] a heavy shadow on the Syrian diaspora communities in Turkey and elsewhere.
[00:16:02] Disputes that arise on social media platforms sometimes
[00:16:06] turn into real confrontations that end
[00:16:10] in dire consequences. platform and Syria
[00:16:15] in the diaspora who find themselves in new environments
[00:16:18] far from family and society, which makes some of them more
[00:16:22] susceptible to being drawn into conflicts and confrontations. In a painful
[00:16:25] incident, this phenomenon was embodied
[00:16:29] or clearly manifested, of course, in the death of the 19-year-old
[00:16:33] Syrian young man Ali Anzo, when he was killed
[00:16:36] in the Fatih district of Istanbul after a dispute that started
[00:16:39] on Instagram turned into a bloody confrontation
[00:16:43] during a meeting that was supposed to be a reconciliation
[00:16:47] session, as two groups
[00:16:51] meet in front of a park in the Yedikule
[00:16:54] area. However, the discussion quickly escalated into a fight that ended
[00:16:58] with both young men, Ali Anzo and Ali Hilal, being stabbed. Despite
[00:17:02] the doctors' attempts to save him, Ali
[00:17:05] Anzo died from a heart injury, while
[00:17:09] Ali Hilal is still receiving medical treatment in critical
[00:17:12] condition. The victim's
[00:17:15] father, Hussein Anzo, expressed his deep sorrow in emotional
[00:17:18] words, saying, "My son
[00:17:22] died immediately. We went to the hospital, but there was
[00:17:25] nothing that could be done. All I want is for the
[00:17:29] law to take its course." Meanwhile, a relative of the
[00:17:33] victim explained that the young men had agreed to meet to end
[00:17:36] the dispute, but the meeting ended
[00:17:40] in an assault that cost a young man his life.
[00:17:43] Turkish police announced the arrest of eight
[00:17:46] suspects in the incident, while search operations are ongoing
[00:17:50] for other fugitives. Social
[00:17:53] media users circulated video clips captured
[00:17:56] by surveillance cameras, documenting
[00:18:01] fight in Fatih that led to the death of the Syrian young man Ali Anzo and resulted
[00:18:04] in serious injury. As
[00:18:08] we see here, while this camera captured
[00:18:11] these moments when he was attacked
[00:18:14] and assaulted, as we
[00:18:17] see, the operation continues
[00:18:21] through many
[00:18:24] video, he received stab wounds, as
[00:18:27] we see,
[00:18:28] and then
[00:18:31] fled. Of course, a tragic incident
[00:18:34] happened to this young
[00:18:38] man who came believing there would be a reconciliation session, and
[00:18:41] then he was, of course,
[00:18:44] attacked and an attempt was made to kill him,
[00:18:47] which ended in the killing of one of the young men, and another
[00:18:52] the hospital. The incident sparked a widespread
[00:18:54] wave of sadness and anger among
[00:18:58] the Syrian community in Turkey and even outside Turkey.
[00:19:01] Comments varied between those who demanded accountability
[00:19:05] for those responsible and those who called on young Syrians to avoid
[00:19:09] being drawn into such confrontations. Ahmed
[00:19:12] wrote,
[00:19:15] "The young man in our area is very kind and keeps to himself. The
[00:19:19] ones who killed him were Syrians,
[00:19:21] unfortunately."
[00:19:24] Ru'a wrote, "No one should act tough and fight in real
[00:19:27] life for your families, not for yourselves. Strength is being
[00:19:30] wise, not just being angry and fighting.
[00:19:34] May God have mercy on the young man.
[00:19:39] the perpetrator who killed him over something trivial." A comment from
[00:19:43] Mohammed also on Facebook: "The recklessness of youth, when a young person is idle and has
[00:19:47] energy and doesn't know how to invest his energy and occupy
[00:19:50] his time with something that benefits him and society, this
[00:19:54] is what happens." A comment from Iyad also on the incident:
[00:19:58] "May God have mercy on him and give patience to his family and guide these young
[00:20:01] people and correct them and enable parents to raise their children
[00:20:04] well and enable parents to raise their children well. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs."
[00:20:20] A citizen on a highway in Hama documented a disturbing
[00:20:24] moment when a motorcyclist
[00:20:26] drew his weapon and fired at a car. The reason,
[00:20:30] as the video recorder said, was that the car tried to
[00:20:34] overtake the motorcycle, in a scene that highlights the danger
[00:20:43] the motorcycle and the motorcyclist
[00:20:46] drew a weapon.
[00:20:52] He's shooting, by God.
[00:20:55] The uncle is shooting at him.
[00:20:57] God. Crazy.
[00:21:00] By God.
[00:21:05] Scenes from Hama National Hospital documented by a citizen reveal
[00:21:08] a reality that calls for attention and follow-up amidst
[00:21:13] for health
[00:21:14] facilities.
[00:21:18] Of course, the complaints about Hama National Hospital will never end.
[00:21:22] With all this stench and filth, they will definitely never end.
[00:21:25] Of course, look at the cockroaches and the stench.
[00:21:29] I really don't know. Of course,
[00:21:32] there are many, many cockroaches in Hama National
[00:21:35] Hospital, and nurses are mentally ill.
[00:21:38] And doctors, I really don't know
[00:21:44] on their phones while people
[00:21:46] are being thrown around and hit. They don't care.
[00:21:55] cleaning? Of course, there should be no cleaning.
[00:21:58] An animal is spread out on the national workers.
[00:22:24] A citizen documented a striking scene at the vital Faiha
[00:22:27] junction in Damascus, where a hearse
[00:22:30] was seen driving against traffic, a scene that raised
[00:22:34] the astonishment of passers-by and questions about the application
[00:22:37] of traffic laws.
[00:22:38] We also watch.
[00:22:41] This is where it is, at Faiha, at the old
[00:22:44] political intersection. Look, it's garbage and it hit the median
[00:22:47] and everything. Trash.
[00:23:04] The hearse goes over the car. The hearse goes over
[00:23:07] the law. The hearse goes over the law. Go back
[00:23:11] to the end of the road. To the end of
[00:23:13] the road. Where is the state? Where is the state? God forgive. Where is the state? God forgive.
[00:23:17] The state has forgiven.
[00:23:40] Among the video clips that the Reboos team also monitored and received widespread
[00:23:43] interaction on social media during the past hours was a clip
[00:23:47] of children collecting candy from a garbage can in the city
[00:23:50] of Raqqa. Their activity attracted the attention of an activist
[00:23:54] who filmed a video
[00:23:55] of them.
[00:23:58] Look at these children. I've been watching them for five
[00:24:06] the bin, picking things out,
[00:24:09] and giving
[00:24:12] the wall.
[00:24:18] These are what I brought out. Where
[00:24:20] be shy.
[00:24:28] Here are some
[00:24:31] the bin. Come, I'll buy them for you. Among
[00:24:34] the video clips that also spread on social media and garnered
[00:24:38] many views, comments, and shares was a video
[00:24:42] of a man complaining about the agricultural situation in Syria and recounting details
[00:24:45] of the damage caused by the lack
[00:24:49] of water in some areas.
[00:24:53] When there was irrigation and watering, we didn't know
[00:24:56] about it at all. The water kills it.
[00:24:59] But with desertification, it came out densely. All the lands had it densely.
[00:25:03] Before we harvested, it was the length of the crop.
[00:25:06] What damage did it cause you? It damaged
[00:25:10] the wheat grain. The seed affected the seed because it was

[00:29:45] he shouted, "This is my wife and this is my son!" He tried
[00:29:48] to approach, but the rifles were faster than him. They did not
[00:29:52] even allow him to cast a last
[00:29:55] glance.
[00:30:32] Containers.
[00:30:37] We used to describe killing as the cruellest
[00:30:41] crime, but Syrians were subjected to something
[00:30:44] crueler than killing when the killer decided to pursue
[00:30:47] bodies even underground. Some
[00:30:50] bodies disappeared, some graves were desecrated, and some
[00:30:54] cemeteries were completely razed. Nothing
[00:30:57] resembles what the Assad regime did.
