[00:00:00] Just the flowing of water in it means imagine
[00:00:02] planting a mine in an area, in the Hasaka area, in
[00:00:06] Al-Khabur, the flood is capable of moving it to Al-Shaddadi, capable of moving it to
[00:00:10] Raqqa, capable of moving it to Deir ez-Zor due to the shallowness of this
[00:00:13] transfer and due to the lightness of these individual mines.
[00:00:16] The problem is imminent and must be dealt with more quickly.
[00:00:20] In my opinion, the Ministry of Defense teams
[00:00:23] and the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster teams should accelerate more and more before
[00:00:27] starting the actual removal. We must also sit with
[00:00:30] the residents, hold community awareness sessions, and warn of the dangers
[00:00:34] of these mines. There is no harm in suspending the academic year
[00:00:37] for a full week and focusing only on the issue
[00:00:41] of mines, and that these mines have different types and shapes,
[00:00:44] the nature of dealing with them, the need to be careful of them, the need
[00:00:47] to not deal with them. You can imagine, two or three days ago,
[00:00:50] someone told me, meaning he said that in Jaz'ah, which was a
[00:00:54] battle line between the Syrian Democratic Forces
[00:00:57] As a result of this and previous organizations, he said that anti-tank mines.
[00:01:00] The residents dismantled them and made them into plates for eating and food.
[00:01:03] This is a catastrophic statement, by God. He literally told me this.
[00:01:07] Mines are within reach of everyone, and during
[00:01:10] military withdrawals of formations from various areas
[00:01:13] of the military governorate, it is known that the withdrawals were quick
[00:01:17] and sudden, leaving behind mines that children
[00:01:20] entered, people whose souls were weak entered, they moved them without
[00:01:25] this is not only my responsibility, knowledge, they did not destroy them properly, but rather placed them yesterday.
[00:01:28] We received a report that they are in the vicinity of the Akbesa area in Al-Shaddadi. There are
[00:01:32] more than four to five mines that children
[00:01:36] reconcile the tried to steal from inside the Akbesa حرم during the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic
[00:01:38] Forces, and they randomly threw them into the areas, meaning
[00:01:42] into the desert areas. One of them killed a child about a month ago. So
[00:01:46] awareness, then awareness, then awareness. Mines are a real
[00:01:50] danger in Hasaka governorate. There are no basic services.
[00:01:53] Medical care is extremely poor. Meaning, a simple wound
[00:01:57] resulting from a poisoned mine or something like that is capable of killing. And capable of killing
[00:02:01] a young adult or something like that.
[00:02:04] Mr. Eid, what I was about to ask you about
[00:02:08] is that the civil defense is certainly making great efforts, and we, even
[00:02:12] in the media, cover them fully. And we know that it probably won't be
[00:02:15] able to monitor this area and clear large areas
[00:02:19] and so on. Is there anyone providing assistance? Are there
[00:02:22] international efforts trying to perhaps support
[00:02:25] the civil
[00:02:28] flourishes in the defense and support local officials in this context?
[00:02:32] Yes, as far as I know, there are some organizations that are
[00:02:36] trying with simple capabilities, capabilities below the required
[00:02:39] level, trying to help the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster teams and trying
[00:02:43] to help the Ministry of Defense teams in removing these mines, but
[00:02:47] the randomness in placing these
[00:02:50] continues, how can it affect this mines, their lack of
[00:02:51] sector, organization, their superficiality on the soil levels prevents
[00:02:54] the situation from being remedied, and day by day we lose and lose more
[00:02:57] and more. In my opinion, there should be real international
[00:03:01] solidarity in Hasaka governorate and in all Syrian areas,
[00:03:04] of course, but Hasaka governorate is now considered the hottest spot in terms
[00:03:08] of mines. There should be real international solidarity in dealing with this
[00:03:11] pray Fajr and then go down to issue with more seriousness in no one knows. Our market starts at dealing with
[00:03:14] securing agricultural areas and valley areas
[00:03:18] shell their walnuts and bring them down to of bakeries that see this picture on and schools. Today we are in the agricultural season, God willing,
[00:03:21] the areas that were lines of engagement during previous
[00:03:24] periods between the Ras al-Ain area or what is known as
[00:03:28] Peace Spring and the rest of the areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces, these
[00:03:31] places are completely saturated with mines. They must be dealt
[00:03:35] with more seriously and with more caution. Farmers are plowing
[00:03:38] their lands and doing it blindly,
[00:03:41] in one way or another. Meaning, blindly, they don't know
[00:03:45] when a mine will explode and they will lose everything. This issue must be taken
[00:03:49] more seriously. The issue must be looked at as an imminent danger
[00:03:52] and a real danger. We must reduce the number of
[00:03:57] while granting them priority in casualties to the highest, to the lowest level, God willing. Umm,
[00:04:00] I still have a point related to the issue of hospitals
[00:04:03] or clinics or medical points
[00:04:06] The journey of walnuts begins with perhaps behind this because, as we mentioned at the beginning,
[00:04:08] of the reality in it seems that Abu Rasin suffers from this problem. Are there
[00:04:10] promises from the Ministry of Health, from officials in the region,
[00:04:13] that, meaning, in the future, citizens will not
[00:04:17] have to endure walking all these distances if they need
[00:04:22] it stipulated for a doctor? Yes, we have not actually heard that there
[00:04:25] are any real promises from the government or from any
[00:04:28] organization regarding this issue. It's not very
[00:04:31] difficult. A medical point run by any organization, run
[00:04:35] by any association, is capable of perhaps saving the life
[00:04:39] of a person, saving the life of a child, and saving an injured person. We demand that
[00:04:42] this issue be activated. We demand that the issue of medical points be taken
[00:04:46] seriously. Today, you don't know where
[00:04:48] Mardam Bey, from there might be a mine. Meaning, in Al-Shaddadi,
[00:04:51] the hospital was close, very close, but the delay in the arrival of ambulance
[00:04:55] machine, and we have many memories teams led to the death of three people directly.
[00:04:58] Frankly, the medical issue is an issue that should be given
[00:05:01] great priority. Activating medical points, especially in these areas
[00:05:05] that were battle lines,
[00:05:08] Mardam Beys were among and establishing an emergency system, meaning rotating patrols,
[00:05:11] medical patrols, as is the case in road safety, customs, and so
[00:05:14] on, is a necessary matter, a desirable
[00:05:17] matter, and preferred by the residents, and perhaps it will prevent
[00:05:20] more casualties. Thank you very much for this
[00:05:24] intervention from Hasaka, my guest journalist Mr. Eid Al-Halil.
[00:05:39] Owners of tourist and supply bakeries, in particular, demand
[00:05:42] a review of the recent decisions related to licensing
[00:05:46] conditions, warning that the new
[00:05:49] measures may threaten the closure of a number of bakeries
[00:05:52] and affect the availability of bread and employment opportunities for
[00:05:56] workers
[00:06:00] there. Haj Mohammed monitors every detail himself,
[00:06:03] fearing for his livelihood after 70 years of stability
[00:06:07] in his oven in Damascus under the weight of what he describes
[00:06:10] as pressures threatening his source of income. We are special
[00:06:14] supply ovens. We feel here that we are being fought
[00:06:18] over our livelihood. You get a violation, the first, the second, the third.
[00:06:21] Instead of raising the ceiling
[00:06:24] of the violation, here they are threatening you with closure.
[00:06:27] Closure means 20 families with their children,
[00:06:31] with their children, with their families, with their fathers and mothers, all these people
[00:06:34] will be without food, even though
[00:06:38] this worker is the responsibility of the state before it is my responsibility. A few days ago,
[00:06:41] I received a three-day closure and paid 12 million
[00:06:45] Syrian pounds just to
[00:06:48] closure. This is my license, it's 70 years old,
[00:06:52] meaning I wasn't licensed yesterday. If I had serious violations from 70 years ago
[00:06:55] until now, they would have closed me down 50 years ago.
[00:06:59] The threat does not stop at Abu Muhammad's bakery. This
[00:07:02] tourist bakery also faces the risk of closure, but
[00:07:06] for other reasons, which were new regulatory conditions
[00:07:10] that threaten its old license and are impossible
[00:07:12] to implement on the ground, according to its owner. Today,
[00:07:16] a decision has been issued by the Ministry of Supply and Economy that tourist
[00:07:19] bakeries must rectify their status with a license of 3,000
[00:07:23] square meters, and this is unfair to us. Today, we have been here for 40,
[00:07:26] 45 years, and we have families working for
[00:07:29] us, about 10 workers and their families, and we are five or six young men
[00:07:33] and their families, and this is unfair to us. And this required area
[00:07:36] today to meet these specifications is very, very, very
[00:07:39] high for us, and it is not applicable in Damascus, not even
[00:07:43] in other places. The Craft Association for Bread Making
[00:07:46] also emphasizes the urgent need to reconsider those decisions to avoid
[00:07:49] risks threatening hundreds of bakeries in Damascus
[00:07:52] and its countryside. So we ask the government to reconsider
[00:07:56] these decisions because these decisions
[00:08:00] are unfair to the bakery owner and the people in
[00:08:03] general. Today, bakeries serve a wide
[00:08:06] segment of society. Despite what bakery owners describe
[00:08:09] as pressures, these production lines are still standing
[00:08:13] until now, amid serious fears of their
[00:08:16] imminent cessation if solutions are not found. This tightening,
[00:08:20] which official bodies believe regulates the bread making sector,
[00:08:24] has a negative impact with some conditions
[00:08:27] and regulations on hundreds
[00:08:30] tightening as a restriction that may harm
[00:08:33] the consumer, the bakery owner, and the families of the workers
[00:08:37] alike. Hazem Awad, Syria TV,
[00:08:40] Damascus. The Ministry of Economy
[00:08:44] and Industry had issued a decision allowing the establishment of tourist
[00:08:47] bakeries with the aim of developing the bread production sector
[00:08:50] and providing specialized facilities for the production
[00:08:54] and sale of various types of bread. The
[00:08:56] decision allows these bakeries to produce and sell cakes,
[00:08:59] pastries, and sweets of all kinds, provided
[00:09:03] that they adopt automated and modern production lines
[00:09:07] that meet market needs,
[00:09:10] marketing. The decision specified conditions for the locations
[00:09:13] of tourist bakeries, the most prominent of which is that they must be located on a main street
[00:09:17] within cities or in their nearby suburbs, and that they must have
[00:09:21] a modern architectural design that reflects the brand identity. It also
[00:09:25] stipulated that the area of the property allocated
[00:09:28] for the bakery must not be less than 3,000 square meters.
[00:09:43] So, dear viewers, for more on this topic, we are joined by Mr. Rabie
[00:09:47] Al-Anisi, Secretary of the Bakers' Association
[00:09:51] in Damascus and its countryside, my guest from rural Damascus. Welcome, Mr. Rabie, and I hope I
[00:09:54] pronounced the name correctly.
[00:09:56] Do you consider these conditions that
[00:09:59] have been set for bakeries to be normal in your estimation, or are they
[00:10:02] too strict and might harm this situation
[00:10:04] in general?
[00:10:06] عام
[00:10:10] Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
[00:10:14] Well, regarding these decisions that have been issued, they are a bit
[00:10:18] difficult for bakery owners.
[00:10:20] They are unfair to them. I mean, today, the decisions that are
[00:10:24] being issued by the Ministry of Economy and Industry regarding
[00:10:28] bakery owners, that three violations lead to closure,
[00:10:31] is an unfair decision to bakery owners. We hope
[00:10:35] and ask the government to reconsider these
[00:10:38] decisions. Secondly, regarding tourist
[00:10:41] bakeries, today
[00:10:44] a committee was formed to establish tourist
[00:10:48] bakeries. Umm,
[00:10:50] so this committee
[00:10:53] was formed to issue new licenses
[00:10:56] with new specifications. Umm,
[00:10:59] so the committee issued a decision
[00:11:02] to allow tourist bakery owners
[00:11:06] to regularize their situation. Meaning, today, a tourist bakery
[00:11:09] either operates commercially
[00:11:11] or
[00:11:14] sells cakes, bread rolls, and pastries. Umm, it no longer
[00:11:18] sells tourist bread. If you want to sell tourist bread today, you must comply
[00:11:22] with the new specifications that have been issued, which means that tourist bread
[00:11:25] must be produced in a large factory.
[00:11:28] What about a wide area like the one
[00:11:32] they stipulated, 3,000 meters? I mean, if it
[00:11:35] wants to produce tourist bread or if it wants to be limited to cakes
[00:11:39] and sweets.
[00:11:42] Or if it wants to be limited to cakes and sweets, it can just adjust its situation and nothing
[00:11:46] else. So this decision is, well, it's not well
[00:11:49] thought out, frankly. I mean, don't you think there might be
[00:11:53] a point of view, I mean, there might be a certain reason, for example, related to the quality
[00:11:57] of bread, related to price control? Do you think there is any justification
[00:12:00] for these conditions? I mean, it is really
[00:12:04] a very large area, and its presence on a
[00:12:07] main street also raises questions.
[00:12:11] I mean, today, a tourist bakery with an area of 250 to 300
[00:12:14] meters is more than enough. Umm, okay.
[00:12:18] You understand, so the decision was issued for 3,000 meters. 3,000 meters, I
[00:12:22] don't want to build wedding halls or a mall.
[00:12:25] I mean, in a sense, it's just a bakery, not
[00:12:29] a large one. So, I mean, small bakeries, because, I mean, it is clear
[00:12:33] that these conditions are factory conditions, even
[00:12:35] that it must have a specific decor that matches the brand
[00:12:39] identity, modern equipment. What I want to ask you about is that smaller
[00:12:43] shops or smaller bakeries, do they produce bread with the same
[00:12:46] health specifications that can be
[00:12:49] produced through large factories?
[00:12:52] Of course, of course,
[00:12:55] they produce bread and it's better than large factories,
[00:12:59] and better. Hmm. Well, I mean, what
[00:13:02] umm I want to ask you now about the impact. I mean, now,
[00:13:06] I don't know, these conditions have come out. We don't know, I mean,
[00:13:09] perhaps if there is an objection, it might be reviewed or so on. But if its application
[00:13:16] the workers, the availability of bread, and its prices,
[00:13:19] perhaps?
[00:13:24] Well, regarding the impact,
[00:13:27] I mean, I don't think there
[00:13:30] will be such spaces in the city of Damascus.
[00:13:34] I don't think there will be such spaces in the city of Damascus.
[00:13:36] Umm, I mean,
[00:13:40] we are talking about a decrease in production volume, perhaps, in Damascus with the closure or
[00:13:43] cessation of operations of small bakeries.
[00:13:46] Well, I mean, if today the bakery does not want to adjust its situation, it will
[00:13:50] close down. So we submitted an objection and grievance through
[00:13:53] the Craftsmen's Union to the Ministry of Commerce.
[00:13:56] And so far, it hasn't happened. We submitted
[00:13:59] an objection and grievance that the decision is unfair. I mean, bakeries that are 50 years old,
[00:14:03] it's not reasonable for you to come today and tell them to close down. You want to establish
[00:14:07] new, modern bakeries. You can issue
[00:14:11] a decision that whoever wants to get a new license, for example, follows the new conditions,
[00:14:14] and leave the old bakeries to compete. Let there be competition,
[00:14:18] meaning let small bakeries compete with large ones.
[00:14:21] Umm, I mean, I wish that, I mean,
[00:14:25] we had an official perhaps to explain to us what the point of view
[00:14:30] decision is. Are there other conditions that have been issued today
[00:14:33] regarding the type of bread, the flour used,
[00:14:37] for example? I mean, now they are talking about the quality of the machines, for example,
[00:14:40] but the materials used, are there also other
[00:14:43] conditions? Uh, among these decisions,
[00:14:47] shops
[00:14:49] regarding tourist bakeries, of course, there must be health conditions, there must be
[00:14:53] dough improvers.
[00:15:02] Sugar, yeast must be first class, of course. Well, thank you very much, Mr. Rabie Al-Anisi,
[00:15:05] Secretary of the Bakers' Association in Damascus
[00:15:09] and its countryside, my guest from rural Damascus, and we hope that your problems will be resolved. And indeed,
[00:15:12] the most beautiful thing about this segment is the
[00:15:16] pictures of bread as it moves on this
[00:15:20] with it.
[00:15:29] So, dear viewers, we have reached the end of today's Eye of Syria
[00:15:32] episode. We hope
[00:15:35] you enjoyed it. Goodbye. The city of Arbin in rural Damascus
[00:15:39] maintained its position as a destination for walnut traders
[00:16:39] The Directorate of Social Affairs and Labor in Idlib announced the dispatch
[00:16:42] of a new convoy of families from displacement camps to their original
[00:16:46] areas. According to the Directorate, the convoy includes
[00:16:49] 209 families returning to villages
[00:16:52] and towns in the countryside of Idlib, Hama, Homs, Damascus,
[00:16:55] and Daraa. This comes within a continuous series of convoys
[00:16:59] for displaced people as part of the vision of a Syria without
[00:17:03] camps.
[00:17:15] The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management also announced the removal of about
[00:17:18] 31,000
[00:17:21] cubic meters of rubble in the areas of Northern Samaan
[00:17:24] and Azaz in rural Aleppo. This quantity is
[00:17:27] 51% of the total targeted
[00:17:30] quantities as part of creating suitable conditions
[00:17:33] for the return of residents to their areas by
[00:17:36] removing rubble, opening roads, and rehabilitating damaged
[00:17:40] sites.
[00:17:49] The walnut market in the city of Arbin, rural Damascus,
[00:17:53] maintains its commercial and heritage status, attracting
[00:17:56] residents and traders from several Syrian governorates, especially with
[00:18:00] the approach of the season for preparing makdous, during which
[00:18:03] buying and selling activity
[00:18:05] market.
[00:18:10] Here in Arbin, rural Damascus, the day begins
[00:18:13] to the rhythm of a market with a story spanning
[00:18:16] decades. Stalls open and various
[00:18:20] types of walnuts are displayed, and sales activity
[00:18:24] regains its momentum with the early morning hours.
[00:18:27] The activity is not limited to the residents of the area,
[00:18:31] as traders from various Syrian governorates visit
[00:18:34] the market to buy walnuts and transport them
[00:18:37] to the markets of their governorates.
[00:18:40] No one knows how old the market is, 100, 200 years, more or less,
[00:18:46] 5:30 in the morning. People
[00:18:49] the market. Then people from other governorates come here.
[00:18:53] And we have farmers who
[00:18:56] the market. We have Chinese, local, and Chilean. Everyone
[00:18:59] finds what they are looking for.
[00:19:01] Walnuts in Arbin market
[00:19:04] are trusted by the locals, who come from various
[00:19:07] areas, especially with the arrival of the
[00:19:11] makdous season, as customers move
[00:19:14] from one vendor to another in search of
[00:19:18] the quality that suits them and a price that fits their
[00:19:21] budget.
[00:19:23] We come to the walnut market during the makdous season. We buy
[00:19:27] local makdous walnuts from here. The local ones taste better
[00:19:30] and are better than the Chinese or American ones. And we are used
[00:19:33] to it. It's an old market, more than 150 years old. We come here
[00:19:43] harvesting, then they are moved to homes
[00:19:47] where experienced hands prepare them using
[00:19:50] traditional methods. A journey that summarizes the story
[00:19:54] of a crop associated with the local cuisine, and its traditions
[00:19:58] of preparation have been preserved from generation to generation.
[00:20:01] Over generations, Arbin's walnut market has maintained
[00:20:05] its presence and status,
[00:20:08] remaining a witness to the city's history and an integral
[00:20:11] part of its popular memory. Dial Bahri,
[00:20:14] Syria TV, rural Damascus.
[00:20:18] With this, dear viewers, we have reached the end of today's Eye of Syria
[00:20:22] episode. We hope you enjoyed it. Goodbye.
[00:21:18] In every corner of this
[00:21:24] there is a story worth telling,
[00:21:26] and perhaps you are the one who sees it first.
[00:21:30] We, at Syria
[00:21:34] TV, launch the people's camera.
[00:21:37] Document, send,
[00:21:39] and be a contributing part in
[00:21:43] making the news. The people's camera, in the people's camera, your lens
[00:21:47] makes the news.
[00:21:50] الخبر
[00:30:41] Welcome, dear viewers, to a new episode of RePost, in which we
[00:30:45] will discuss the most prominent topics that have attracted the attention of social media users
[00:30:48] during the past
[00:30:50] hours.
