[00:00:00] one of the explosive belts that was reported by
[00:00:03] civilians citizens, and therefore
[00:00:06] communication and
[00:00:09] we still don't know who establishment of an operations room and immediate reports to the forces
[00:00:13] of the Ministry of Interior and the security apparatus. I believe at
[00:00:16] this moment, as a direct and immediate
[00:00:20] measure to address these threats, this is the most important
[00:00:23] point, meaning that the report of the citizen and the
[00:00:27] person in the street should be received immediately and
[00:00:30] followed up by the security agencies, as happened, for example,
[00:00:33] in many cases. For example, in the Al-Wurud neighborhood, several improvised explosive devices
[00:00:37] were foiled, and in the Qudsaya suburb,
[00:00:40] it was also planted in one of the buses. This method has become common,
[00:00:44] and therefore, inspecting buses and inspecting any
[00:00:47] strange car, that society be part of security,
[00:00:51] this is very important, and it is among the basic pillars, and that there be
[00:00:54] a communication body, and direct coordination channels between the government
[00:00:58] and society so that complaints reach directly. This is first.
[00:01:02] Secondly, the logistical equipment,
[00:01:04] among which
[00:01:07] institutions are not only responsible for maintaining security. It Syria was deprived and prohibited from and how should this due to sanctions, is surveillance cameras.
[00:01:10] Today, surveillance cameras have become an urgent
[00:01:14] with relations with the Arab neighbors, with necessity, more than anything else, more than
[00:01:17] any other service issue, and I am speaking
[00:01:20] and its dissolution into urgently and necessarily about filling
[00:01:24] the capital, Damascus, especially the highly
[00:01:27] people who are not sensitive areas
[00:01:30] with surveillance cameras and monitoring devices. The other
[00:01:34] issue is also the methods of dealing and tactics.
[00:01:38] They must follow an unconventional approach. Today, it seems that the
[00:01:42] old approach is no longer feasible, and the
[00:01:45] Ministry of Interior has started this through, as you know, the recent
[00:01:48] appointments in the Ministry of Interior and the intelligence service and the formation of the
[00:01:52] National Security Office, which
[00:01:54] will benefit
[00:01:55] to provoke this will oversee all and formulate the intelligence policies of the
[00:01:58] Syrian state. Perhaps these changes have not yet yielded their
[00:02:01] results on the ground, but perhaps we will see in the coming
[00:02:05] because violence only days many
[00:02:07] begets violence, and this positive results in this regard. Intelligence vigilance, alertness,
[00:02:11] and constant awareness
[00:02:13] Syria, and the state should of dangers. Today, ISIS has moved from
[00:02:15] the deserts and from
[00:02:19] eavesdrop, anything, to follow up on this open areas to become integrated
[00:02:19] speaking with this kind of within the residential environment and among society. Any strange
[00:02:22] person who comes to the shop or to
[00:02:25] strategy for this matter. Yes, the alley or to the neighborhood, questions are asked about him, and he is reported if
[00:02:28] his situation is suspicious, his movements
[00:02:31] are suspicious, until the security agencies come. No neglecting anything. Everything
[00:02:35] it guides its elements through channels on means, also, this issue, permit me, Mr. Dia, vigilance
[00:02:38] is important, caution is important, but that
[00:02:42] monitoring is done in this way, meaning
[00:02:44] sometimes the matter is used incorrectly and becomes
[00:02:48] a tool of surveillance over citizens. To what extent, who sets
[00:02:53] Jaramana and shots from the controls and standards for these procedures? This is what
[00:02:56] means today, Ms. Rab'a,
[00:02:59] or the region. It is not neglected there are strict security controls and decisive
[00:03:02] ones that are placed in the most democratic countries in the world, without affecting that at all. What are
[00:03:06] these standards? So that the matter is not used incorrectly.
[00:03:09] The standards are the most important
[00:03:14] the government and security agencies, but this discourse and discourse that incites thing, which is intellectual awareness and culture for
[00:03:19] the weakness of the organization, that this those who apply this law, meaning whoever sits in,
[00:03:22] in a position of decision
[00:03:25] and in the executive tools, should not take these
[00:03:28] controls and these
[00:03:31] restrictions or security monitoring
[00:03:35] elements from as a means to implement personal desires or something
[00:03:39] in the previous to, and these, whether they know else. But today, regardless, the Syrian state can apply these
[00:03:43] measures as other countries apply them, without
[00:03:46] affecting personal freedoms or other
[00:03:50] issues related to life, freedom,
[00:04:00] you talked about many
[00:04:03] brother or a Muslim or political messages that perhaps
[00:04:05] the perpetrator of this terrorist bombing wanted to send. To what extent
[00:04:08] is the Syrian state at this
[00:04:11] stage, and through its
[00:04:15] internal and external policies,
[00:04:19] able to absorb such shocks and crises
[00:04:23] published in the and deal with them, and indeed
[00:04:26] make good progress, as
[00:04:30] it has tried to do over the past period, regarding maintaining the security
[00:04:33] and stability of Syria?
[00:04:37] is perhaps the last thing in The new Syria has been exposed to several aftershocks,
[00:04:41] who is the responsible party I mean, from the events on the coast in March
[00:04:43] of last year,
[00:04:47] then Sweida, the Israeli factor pressing
[00:04:50] heavily on the Syrian state, whether its interventions in
[00:04:53] internal affairs, an attempt to support
[00:04:57] some militias or occupying some positions in
[00:05:00] southern Syria, yet
[00:05:03] Syria, in fact, faces all these pressures
[00:05:07] and all these challenges. It was able to, yes, perhaps the
[00:05:11] Sweida file was also a thorny file, somewhat, perhaps until
[00:05:14] now, but for example, the eastern region file,
[00:05:17] through dialogue, it was able to reach a solution, and through
[00:05:21] a decree issued by the President of the Republic, and the process
[00:05:25] of final integration
[00:05:27] is still ongoing. So I believe that Syria is capable
[00:05:30] today, not only because
[00:05:34] the government, the state, I am not talking only about the state
[00:05:36] as a government, I mean, through the security agencies,
[00:05:40] follow-up, and intelligence.
[00:05:42] It can overcome these crises. In the end, I believe that the Syrian
[00:05:46] people, all Syrians, are now
[00:05:49] at a moment where
[00:05:53] they support the new phase in Syria, they support the new era in
[00:05:56] Syria. They are tired of the scenes of blood, the scenes of killing,
[00:06:00] and there is, especially, that everyone is following that there is
[00:06:04] a great openness towards Syria, a trend that has
[00:06:08] not happened for Syria since independence, Arab
[00:06:11] and international support.
[00:06:14] for Syria, for President Al-Shara's attendance at the United Nations summit last
[00:06:18] year, his visit to the White House,
[00:06:20] his meetings with President Trump for the third
[00:06:23] time,
[00:06:27] the region, the positive messages that the
[00:06:30] state and President Al-Shara always work to send, and they actually began
[00:06:34] with the liberation of Syria since the response to aggression operation, when
[00:06:37] he launched or through a video, messages to the Prime Minister
[00:06:41] of Iraq, Muhammad Shia, all of that. Therefore, I
[00:06:44] believe that the Syrian people are now on
[00:06:47] I mean, regarding messages to the interior as well, Mr. Abdul
[00:06:51] Karim, especially in a region like Jaramana and the sensitivity of the matter
[00:06:55] and what is happening on social media, to what extent
[00:06:59] are messages to the interior also important
[00:07:02] now at this stage?
[00:07:06] Um, I believe that even the incident that happened last year in
[00:07:09] Jaramana, and the state was able, I mean, through
[00:07:12] discussions and dialogue that took place between state officials and
[00:07:16] the dignitaries of Jaramana, to reach understandings and
[00:07:19] a solution, and Jaramana is part of the capital, Damascus, part of
[00:07:23] Syria, and not another city, and therefore, whoever goes
[00:07:26] there does not feel that he is entering
[00:07:28] a strange area to him intellectually, culturally, or
[00:07:32] socially. The Syrian people are a good people, and a coexistence
[00:07:36] people, and, I mean,
[00:07:39] especially after the departure of the Assad regime and the liberation of Syria. Therefore, today,
[00:07:43] I believe that the state, what happened a few
[00:07:47] days ago from the act
[00:07:49] of some followers of Al-Hijri assaulting activist
[00:07:53] Raed Al-Sadiq, also this incident a few days
[00:07:57] ago, I believe that the Syrian state
[00:08:00] will undoubtedly be performing its condolences, and there will
[00:08:04] be visits by state
[00:08:08] officials to the city
[00:08:11] at all. But today, I want to regulate the situation
[00:08:15] completely. It is necessary, and we always remind of this,
[00:08:18] that the state should have a presidential
[00:08:21] decree criminalizing and prohibiting sectarian
[00:08:26] hatred, because in the end,
[00:08:29] this will further fragment Syrian society. I mean,
[00:08:32] after this, after what happened in Jaramana, we will find social
[00:08:36] media teeming with those who want to ignite more
[00:08:39] strife and pour
[00:08:42] oil on the fire, and that there is a targeting operation
[00:08:46] for a specific sect, and there are those who always want
[00:08:51] it or not, they are I mean,
[00:08:54] they work against the state and against the Syrian
[00:08:58] people. Therefore, today, all Syrians, in every
[00:09:01] incident that passes, after 14 years of revolution,
[00:09:04] war, conflict, and bloodshed, and 50 years of
[00:09:08] autocratic rule, and after the Syrian society has become intensely divided and fragmented,
[00:09:12] I believe that we are at a historical moment where either
[00:09:16] Syrians unite and rally around each other at
[00:09:19] dialogue tables, in discussion sessions, in cafes, everywhere,
[00:09:23] that the state be the compass, and that the slogan
[00:09:26] "Syria First" be everyone's goal, and that we all work, regardless
[00:09:30] of who disagrees with the government on some opinions, on some
[00:09:33] positions, who disagrees with the performance of the ministers,
[00:09:37] yet we must all work to move Syria
[00:09:41] from the state of emerging from the ashes
[00:09:44] and from under the rubble
[00:09:47] to proceeding with steps
[00:09:50] and measures, especially after the opening
[00:09:53] of the People's Assembly or the convening of its sessions, that there be
[00:09:56] new decisions from the Syrian leadership that will bring good
[00:10:00] and benefit to all of Syria. Okay,
[00:10:02] Mr. Muhammad, if we also asked
[00:10:05] you, in terms of security and
[00:10:09] military, to what extent
[00:10:13] are these organizations
[00:10:16] that are outside the framework of the state and are trying to destabilize
[00:10:20] the security and stability of the country, to what extent are they able to
[00:10:23] change their strategy and change their criminal
[00:10:26] methods from time to time in order to continue
[00:10:30] carrying out such acts? I mean,
[00:10:34] carried out the attack. There are analyses from you and from guests
[00:10:38] that perhaps talk about ISIS, perhaps they are the remnants. We don't
[00:10:42] know who, but to what extent are these
[00:10:49] continue these
[00:10:51] acts that destabilize the security
[00:10:58] there are many beneficiaries
[00:11:01] of these bombings. There is a Russian
[00:11:04] proverb that says, if you want to dry up
[00:11:07] the stagnant springs, you must
[00:11:10] dry up the main source. If you want to dry
[00:11:13] up the small stagnant rivers, you must
[00:11:16] dry up the main source from which these
[00:11:19] small springs flow. I believe
[00:11:23] today that the Syrian state
[00:11:25] must be decisive in many files that
[00:11:28] threaten Syrian security. I mean,
[00:11:32] the SDF file and the Qandil file in northern
[00:11:35] Syria must be decisively
[00:11:38] and quickly resolved, because in northern
[00:11:41] Syria, there are those who are not pleased with the integration of the SDF
[00:11:45] Syrian society. Also, there are
[00:11:48] those with Al-Hijri, the agent, there are also
[00:11:52] pleased with Syria's stability. Therefore,
[00:11:56] they carry out these actions. Why don't
[00:11:58] we assume that there is a person sent by Al-Hijri
[00:12:02] to strike this component that refused
[00:12:06] to follow Al-Hijri
[00:12:08] and his aspirations to bring the Zionist enemy
[00:12:12] to Syria? Why don't we assume that there is
[00:12:15] a Qasab who wanted, from Al-Hijri,
[00:12:20] dear component to our hearts, which is the
[00:12:23] Druze component? Hmm. Also, there is the issue
[00:12:26] of the remnants. There are many remnants that have not
[00:12:30] settled down yet, and unfortunately, they have
[00:12:33] hope for a certain situation. In my opinion,
[00:12:36] the state has given a lot, a lot
[00:12:40] of freedom and room for
[00:12:43] leniency with those people. In my opinion, it is necessary
[00:12:46] to strike hard, I mean, the matter must be firm
[00:12:50] and swift. We have trained security
[00:12:53] forces. And we have a trained
[00:12:56] army. We also have dangers on the borders,
[00:13:00] but internally, it is necessary to strike with an iron
[00:13:03] fist against those killers, until their sources
[00:13:07] are dried up at Al-Hijra or in
[00:13:10] areas, I mean, Muhammad,
[00:13:14] the phrase "strike with an iron fist" perhaps means
[00:13:17] something misunderstood, but you know that
[00:13:20] dealing with violence, the state tries
[00:13:23] to avoid it, especially in these sensitive stages,
[00:13:27] and because, I mean, we may see violations, perhaps
[00:13:30] the matter will backfire with results
[00:13:34] that harm the Syrian state. Are there other methods that can
[00:13:38] be used to control those who commit such criminal
[00:13:41] acts?
[00:13:44] Madam, the Syrian state has not left any door or any
[00:13:47] field that it deals with citizens
[00:13:51] and with all the components
[00:13:54] in Syria without pursuing it. It has punished its
[00:14:00] the Public Security and from the police and from the army. It has not
[00:14:04] been lenient with anyone in the state, but
[00:14:07] these people who create these
[00:14:10] terrorist problems, Madam Rab'a, cannot
[00:14:14] be dealt with with mercy and ease. Those
[00:14:17] are murderous criminals who kill Syrian
[00:14:19] citizens. This bomb does not differentiate
[00:14:23] between, excuse me, between a Christian
[00:14:28] anything. The bomb does not differentiate. Those must be dealt with
[00:14:31] decisively, and they must be pursued, and they must, and I
[00:14:35] believe, I believe, and I launched it some time ago with the security
[00:14:39] agencies, there must be cooperation between
[00:14:42] citizens and the security agencies, and there should be
[00:14:45] phone numbers
[00:14:48] streets for reporting any suspicious
[00:14:52] person, any suspicious package, any car. I mean,
[00:14:56] frankly, Ms. Ruba, today, if
[00:14:59] I see an explosive device in the street, frankly, I don't know who
[00:15:02] to call. I don't know
[00:15:06] for this matter, so I can call them. There must be more
[00:15:09] transparency. Don't you fear that such
[00:15:13] numbers might be used, for example, if found, for false reports
[00:15:16] to occupy the state with incorrect matters,
[00:15:19] for malicious matters, for example? I mean, a moment ago we were talking with Mr.
[00:15:23] Dia about standards and controls in this matter that might benefit the Ministry
[00:15:27] of Interior, and at the same time, not
[00:15:30] be a burden on the state and citizens, because you know, perhaps
[00:15:33] this matter will be used incorrectly.
[00:15:38] Madam Rab'a, when a call is made, of course,
[00:15:41] I am telling you, security-wise, in all countries, security monitoring, when
[00:15:45] a call is made from any number, the name of the owner
[00:15:48] of the number is taken, and his address
[00:15:52] is taken. Therefore, any caller to any
[00:15:55] number, his number will be taken, and he will identify
[00:15:58] himself. It is not, I mean, perhaps there may be
[00:16:01] some malicious transgressions, but the state can,
[00:16:05] when there is any report, confirm
[00:16:08] it. It is not necessary to immediately besiege and
[00:16:12] cordon off the area and make arrests. No,
[00:16:15] it receives a call that there is a suspicious object in a certain area.
[00:16:19] Secret patrols from the secret criminal police
[00:16:23] monitor, then support comes when
[00:16:26] they confirm the presence of a package or a criminal or a wanted person or so on. Ah, yes,
[00:16:30] that means it verifies with specific
[00:16:33] security procedures, and this facilitates its work
[00:16:37] and does not occupy it with malicious things or
[00:16:47] we ask, as we asked Mr. Muhammad, what can
[00:16:51] be done to dry up
[00:16:54] the sources of these criminal terrorist acts, regardless of
[00:16:58] their origin? And to what extent can these
[00:17:01] groups and organizations
[00:17:05] change their operating mechanisms so that they can carry out and continue such
[00:17:09] criminal acts that destabilize the security
[00:17:12] and stability of Syria? Yes, Ms. Rab'a, I mean, today,
[00:17:15] confronting the terrorist threat
[00:17:18] requires a long-term strategy, a long-term
[00:17:22] one. I mean, this is perhaps something we do not
[00:17:24] like to hear. I mean, with the rebuilding
[00:17:27] of the state, the return of stability, the desire
[00:17:31] for investments to come, but the terrorist threat
[00:17:34] will still threaten Syria and will strike
[00:17:37] here and there. The continuous terrorist threat requires
[00:17:40] continuous security pressure and requires continuous vigilance.
[00:17:44] Its treatment.
[00:17:46] We talked perhaps about the immediate issues
[00:17:50] such as reports, coordination channels,
[00:17:53] logistical equipment, surveillance cameras,
[00:17:57] detection devices, and so on, but there must be a complete
[00:18:02] in the long run, it requires a long-term strategy,
[00:18:05] including, I mean, dismantling the roots of extremism. This organization is built
[00:18:09] on ideological beliefs. Today,
[00:18:13] Telegram, it publishes its propaganda on Al-Naba newspaper, it accuses the Syrian
[00:18:16] state of being an agent, it describes President Al-Shara also as an agent,
[00:18:20] and it claims that the Syrian state has become an agent,
[00:18:24] and even the People's Assembly. You saw the tightened security
[00:18:27] measures to protect the members of the People's
[00:18:31] Assembly. Therefore, we are talking
[00:18:34] about a long-term confrontation, and by the way,
[00:18:38] the operations in 2026, the number
[00:18:40] of ISIS operations compared to 2025 is
[00:18:44] numerically less, perhaps a 25% decrease, and this
[00:18:48] is due to the measures taken by
[00:18:51] numerical decrease does not mean the end of the threat, nor does it mean
[00:18:56] organization is no longer dangerous. It seeks
[00:18:59] easy targets and targets through which
[00:19:03] it can cause the largest number. It wants sabotage.
[00:19:07] It is waging a war of attrition, and it is no longer an organization
[00:19:11] as it used to be. I mean, attributing the description of an organization to
[00:19:14] ISIS is not strong, I mean, it is not correct today from a military
[00:19:18] and security point of view. This organization is now like
[00:19:22] today, perhaps it can
[00:19:24] be likened to a security operations room that is led in a decentralized
[00:19:28] manner, in a complex manner, several disparate
[00:19:31] cells that do not communicate with each other, individuals
[00:19:34] perhaps not affiliated with, not affiliated
[00:19:38] I mean, nominally with the organization, but
[00:19:41] they are loyal to it ideologically. They carry out actions directed by
[00:19:45] the organization through social media. Therefore, we are
[00:19:49] talking about a long-term confrontation that requires intellectual
[00:19:52] tools, requires economic tools, requires removing
[00:19:55] all, I mean, other issues, services, and so
[00:19:58] on. All these issues must be addressed by a comprehensive
[00:20:01] system that must be worked on. Okay, yes, because
[00:20:05] security is a comprehensive system. Ms. Security is not just tightening
[00:20:09] security, monitoring, and strict security measures. This
[00:20:14] security measures, tightening security. There are many measures
[00:20:18] that must precede
[00:20:28] that he talked about within a security strategy
[00:20:32] that Mr. Dia talked about. In your opinion, also, what are
[00:20:36] the parties that should work on building
[00:20:39] this strategy? It is not only the responsibility of the Ministry of Interior or
[00:20:43] the General Security Service or intelligence. What about
[00:20:46] other government institutions such as the Ministry of
[00:20:50] Information, such as service ministries? This collective
[00:20:53] responsibility now to dry up
[00:20:56] I mean, any source that
[00:20:59] might tamper with the security of the
[00:21:02] country? Who are the responsible parties, in your opinion, also?
[00:21:06] Or is it a responsibility for the Ministry of Information or Social
[00:21:09] Affairs? It is the responsibility of society in general. I mean, also, that
[00:21:13] society should be part of maintaining security, that
[00:21:16] it should be true, true, but we don't hold society responsible.
[00:21:31] We are talking about society as individuals, but about civil society
[00:21:34] institutions.
[00:21:37] The sessions that are held, the dialogue and discussion sessions that are held
[00:21:41] today, fill Syria. I mean, these sessions that are held by associations
[00:21:44] and civil society institutions, and also
[00:21:47] the Ministry of Information has a large role entrusted to it,
[00:21:51] and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. All state
[00:21:57] is not only the responsibility of the security element or the Ministry of Interior or
[00:22:00] intelligence. The responsibility of maintaining security and controlling the security
[00:22:04] situation in any place in Syria
[00:22:07] is the responsibility of everyone, everyone. I mean, everyone
[00:22:11] must know that preserving lives
[00:22:14] and property is part of everyone's life.
[00:22:17] I mean, all people, whatever their work and the nature
[00:22:21] of their work, should have as their goal, when any
[00:22:24] person applies the law today, there is no doubt that
[00:22:27] everyone will make the country's situation good,
[00:22:30] and this will benefit all
[00:22:32] Syrians. When people
[00:22:34] commit
[00:22:37] to their role in any institution or in any place, whether placing the bus
[00:22:40] here or placing the bus there, this
[00:22:44] everyone, and therefore, this indeed requires
[00:22:47] the effort of all Syrian society, all its institutions,
[00:22:51] in addition to the state ministries, with a strategic plan
[00:22:54] to confront the continuation of such
[00:22:57] bombings. No one wants to see bloodshed in
[00:23:03] acquire modern surveillance equipment,
[00:23:09] matter and ensure the lives
[00:23:17] within this strategy
[00:23:20] and within the state's efforts, to what extent do we also evaluate
[00:23:23] the rapid response to such
[00:23:27] incidents related to
[00:23:30] I mean, both the medical response and the security
[00:23:34] response? How do you evaluate the speed of the response
[00:23:36] within the security system and the government system in
[00:23:40] Syria?
[00:23:42] Well, Madam Ruba, in this area,
[00:23:46] this is credited to the security agencies and police.
[00:23:50] The agencies affiliated with the Ministry of Health, in fact,
[00:23:54] not only this explosion or this incident, there were
[00:23:57] several incidents, especially the previous explosion when President
[00:24:01] Macron was in Syria. In fact, the speed
[00:24:04] of response was very strong
[00:24:06] and fast, whether in terms of medical staff
[00:24:10] or in terms of firefighting staff
[00:24:13] and relief, or in terms of
[00:24:15] police who cut off
[00:24:19] roads and neutralize the explosion area
[00:24:22] and check cameras, if they exist in that
[00:24:26] area. In fact, what the security forces accomplished
[00:24:29] bombings and in the previous incidents, just a small comment if
[00:24:33] you would allow me, Mr. Muhammad, that the Civil Defense
[00:24:36] teams are now announcing the end of response
[00:24:40] operations for the Jaramana bombing incident. So the Civil
[00:24:43] Defense teams are now announcing the end of the response
[00:24:47] to the bombing incident in Jaramana. Go ahead. Yes,
[00:24:50] yes, so that's why these
[00:24:54] agencies are credited with the speed of response. Also,
[00:24:57] citizens also played a big role. I mean, some of them
[00:25:01] carried out relief before the arrival of emergencies and before
[00:25:04] the arrival of ambulances. Some of them transported some of the wounded
[00:25:07] in their private cars, and this also, I mean,
[00:25:11] is considered and credited to the citizen who
[00:25:14] cooperates with the state. But, Madam Ruba, if you allow
[00:25:18] me, I have a very important observation that I would like to direct
[00:25:22] through Syria TV
[00:25:30] when the regime fell, the Ministry of Interior and all
[00:25:34] security agencies were dissolved. There are elements, Madam
[00:25:37] Ruba, in the previous security agencies who did not
[00:25:40] get involved in Syrian blood, who did not commit murder.
[00:25:44] There are trained elements with great experience who were
[00:25:47] excluded. I hope that they will
[00:25:51] be summoned and tested
[00:25:54] and their security files checked.
[00:25:57] There are experts in the field
[00:26:01] of security, whoever they may be. Okay,
[00:26:03] how, how can it be proven that they were not involved in Syrian
[00:26:07] blood? I mean, this question must be asked. You are a security
[00:26:11] expert, how, how can that be verified?
[00:26:14] Very easily, Madam Ruba. As a former officer and security
[00:26:18] expert, I can interrogate any element
[00:26:21] and know if this element was involved or not involved.
[00:26:24] The matter is not that difficult, through
[00:26:27] his colleagues, through the unit he served in, through
[00:26:31] his record. These are easy matters for security,
[00:26:44] a rapid response that is credited to the government
[00:26:46] agencies. What about the interaction of citizens now,
[00:26:50] in your opinion, with what happened? To what extent can
[00:26:54] we say that we rely on the awareness
[00:26:57] of citizens that we will not see this
[00:27:00] night again, sectarian mobilization,
[00:27:05] matter be controlled?
[00:27:08] Every rational person and everyone who
[00:27:11] believes in Syria must overcome
[00:27:15] this point, that we see sectarian mobilization
[00:27:18] on social media after what
[00:27:22] happened in Jaramana, because what happened in Jaramana happened days ago or a
[00:27:26] month ago in Damascus, and it may happen in another place, God forbid.
[00:27:30] We do not want this situation to continue, God, but yes, yes,
[00:27:34] and I hope
[00:27:36] that everyone will avoid speaking always in a sectarian
[00:27:39] manner in every event. Syria, we find that some people
[00:27:43] perhaps from all sides I mean, not only from
[00:27:46] a specific party inciting a sect on social media
[00:27:50] and talk here and there. This does not serve Syria. Whoever
[00:27:53] truly wants Syria to be safe, stable,
[00:27:57] and peaceful, and for its people to enjoy security, must distance themselves from
[00:28:01] all this discourse, the inciting discourse, the discourse
[00:28:04] of hatred, the discourse of violence,
[00:28:09] only comes if
[00:28:12] certain parties start
[00:28:16] throwing
[00:28:18] accusations or
[00:28:21] rhetoric through social media. In the end, it does not serve
[00:28:25] Syrians. It does not serve the Syrian people. No one in Syria, neither government
[00:28:29] nor people, wants to participate in demonstrations.
