00:05:24and opportunities.
00:05:27The opening impressed Syrians, so how did
00:05:30you comment and react to this event? Our first comment
00:05:33is from Maher Badri on Facebook. Maher wrote,
00:05:36"Congratulations on the reopening of Deir ez-Zor International Airport.
00:05:40An important step
00:05:42reflecting the will to build and restore state institutions
00:05:45to their role. Thanks and appreciation to everyone who
00:05:50achievement." Deir ez-Zor Governor Ziad
00:05:53Ayesh wrote on X: "The reopening
00:05:56of Deir ez-Zor Airport is an affirmation of the province's recovery
00:06:00and a faithful tribute to those who sacrificed
00:06:05strategic edifice, and building
00:06:08a future worthy of their sacrifices. A historical
00:06:11page we open today reconnects
00:06:14the province to the world and restores its historical
00:06:18status and bright future."
00:06:21Sari commented and said: "Among
00:06:23the most beautiful things said by Foreign Minister Asaad
00:06:26Al-Shaybani: 'My family and my strength,
00:06:29I promise that the era of marginalization is
00:06:32over.' This is a message that the people of the province await
00:06:36to be translated into a reality worthy
00:06:38of their sacrifices." Zaid commented on Instagram
00:06:44Damascus to our people in Deir ez-Zor, and may the airport be
00:06:48a door to relief and prosperity in
00:06:51your homes." We conclude with what Mohammed
00:06:55Abu Zeid wrote on Facebook: "While in the skies of Deir
00:06:58ez-Zor on the flight heading to the opening
00:07:02of its international airport, I
00:07:05place as a runway for planes, but
00:07:08as a page
00:07:11pain and memory. How the defunct regime turned
00:07:14this airport from a gateway to life into
00:07:17a military barracks.
00:07:21the same airport, but the scene was completely
00:07:24different. A plane carrying the sons of Syria
00:07:27and its guests to participate in the opening
00:07:31of its airport."
00:07:36The head of the General Authority for Civil Aviation and Air Transport,
00:07:40Omar Al-Husari, affirmed that the reopening
00:07:43of Deir ez-Zor International Airport represents a new stage in the process of
00:07:47rebuilding Syria and enhancing development, noting
00:07:50that the authority will continue to develop Syrian airports
00:07:53in addition to establishing an air cargo center to support
00:07:57commercial, agricultural,
00:08:13Can you imagine losing your job for many
00:08:16years because of a stance you took
00:08:19on an issue, and then returning
00:08:22to your work? The right has returned to its owners. With these
00:08:26words, one of the dismissed employees commented after
00:08:29receiving the news of his return to work.
00:08:32So what is the story of the dismissed
00:08:35employees and how are they being reinstated? The file of
00:08:38dismissed employees is linked to the years of the Syrian
00:08:41revolution, where public jobs under the defunct
00:08:45regime became a tool used against a number
00:08:48of workers who took stances
00:08:51or participated in the Syrian revolution, which led to
00:08:55their dismissal from
00:08:57number of employees in various ministries
00:09:00and departments are still waiting for their return
00:09:04to their jobs. Yesterday,
00:09:07the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment announced
00:09:10the reinstatement of 6,520
00:09:12dismissed employees to their
00:09:16positions, out of more than 8,000.
00:09:19This is after the completion of assessment
00:09:22and interview procedures. But
00:09:26decision made now? Let's watch. Of course,
00:09:29the process was a long and exhausting
00:09:31one. The time period we
00:09:35needed to reinstate employees and sign the decisions today
00:09:39regarding their return was due to several matters. The first matter was
00:09:42the process of reaching all dismissed employees through communication channels or
00:09:46publication channels. All this work was also supplemented by the fact that
00:09:49we did not prefer to issue a general, random decision to reinstate
00:09:53dismissed employees, and when an employee contacts the entity responsible
00:09:56for them, they find that there is no answer, no job vacancy, no
00:10:00funds, no system to contract with or return to.
00:10:04Therefore, from this perspective, we tried to
00:10:06take enough time to interview all
00:10:10these employees and for the full notification to reach everyone.
00:10:15With the return of these employees, the Ministry of Local Administration
00:10:20this file, while the remaining ministries and administrations
00:10:23continue to follow up on the files of their dismissed employees.
00:10:27A decision many have awaited for many years. How
00:10:30did the employees affected by
00:10:33The right returned to its owners. It's a sweet feeling, meaning the effort we
00:10:37put in and the work
00:10:41we did, he feels like he got the result of his effort, and thank
00:10:44God, may God reward them well, they didn't fall short. It
00:10:48took a little time, but
00:10:49the right returned to its owners.
00:10:52Justice, when it is achieved,
00:10:56brings great joy. I mean, the process
00:10:59of vindicating colleagues and all dismissed
00:11:03employees. This is a word
00:11:07of truth that must be said to those who reinstated
00:11:10them to their jobs. Bless
00:11:13your efforts.
00:11:16So the right has returned to its owners. There was great interaction on social
00:11:19media platforms with the decision to reinstate dismissed
00:11:22employees. How did you comment on it? Our first comment
00:11:26is from Shaker Kayal on Facebook.
00:11:30"This is the most important victory after liberation. We are proud
00:11:33of this achievement. Thank you all."
00:11:37And on Facebook, Mohammed Nasser commented and wrote,
00:11:41"We congratulate our dismissed colleagues from the local administration sector
00:11:45on their return to work after two years of waiting
00:11:48and suffering. A step," he surely means, "an important
00:11:51step." Abdul Qader Orabi commented and wrote,
00:11:55"An important step to compensate the affected and restore
00:11:58rights to
00:12:01luck to all in serving the homeland." Marwan
00:12:05commented and said on Facebook, "An excellent step
00:12:08in the right direction. The return of competencies and cadres
00:12:12to their work is an urgent necessity for reconstruction
00:12:15and stability." We conclude with Maysa
00:12:19Ahmed and her comment on Facebook: "Thank God,
00:12:22I returned to my job after we lost
00:12:25hope from 2019 until 2026,
00:12:29unemployed. Thank God, we are back. We hope soon
00:12:33to return as permanent employees. We have faith
00:12:37in God and the ministry that our rights will not be lost because
00:12:41we truly suffered a lot. Thank you, Ministry of Local
00:12:44Administration."
00:12:49The Minister of Local Administration and Environment, Muhammad Anjarani, affirmed that
00:12:52the return of dismissed workers represents an ethical
00:12:56and national responsibility, considering them
00:12:59expertise that can be utilized in the process of rebuilding
00:13:02Syria. He also clarified that the return process was carried out according
00:13:05to an institutional path that relies on studying
00:13:09the qualifications of workers and their experiences,
00:13:12with the aim of placing each employee in the position that
00:13:15achieves their best
00:13:18performance.
00:13:30Do you remember when the Syria Summer Festival launched
00:13:33last week, for the first time in Idlib
00:13:36province? At that time, the governor confirmed
00:13:39that the festival would not be limited to Idlib province, but
00:13:43would move to various Syrian provinces.
00:13:46And indeed, the festival moved its
00:13:50tents the day before yesterday to Al-Orouba Park in Latakia city.
00:13:53Let's watch together.
00:14:31So, as we saw, an atmosphere full
00:14:34of diverse activities and events. This is also what many said about
00:14:39is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and Latakia province
00:14:43also, and will continue until the tenth of August
00:14:47this year. But what is the goal of launching these
00:14:50festivals and what is their purpose? Let's listen
00:14:53to you.
00:14:56The festival was approved by the Ministry of Culture in the beloved Syrian
00:14:59governorates. The primary purpose of the Ministry of Culture
00:15:03is to build a conscious,
00:15:06generation, just as it needs us to care for
00:15:09its food, also needs us to nourish its mind
00:15:12with thought and culture. We need to
00:15:18children, but at the same time, we need to
00:15:21address their minds with activities, and to be
00:15:24helpers for our children to keep
00:15:28them away from the world of
00:15:29electronics and mobile phones.
00:15:33This festival includes a diverse array of
00:15:36activities dedicated to families and children,
00:15:39including theatrical and cinematic shows,
00:15:42and artistic and educational workshops,
00:15:45in addition to special corners for folk heritage,
00:15:48especially the tangible and intangible coastal heritage.
00:15:52The festival also witnessed significant participation from
00:15:55associations in the governorate,
00:15:59from residents. It also included various
00:16:02corners, among the most prominent of which was a corner dedicated
00:16:06to robotics, highlighting the importance of modern
00:16:09technologies and their role in
00:16:11our current
00:16:14time. We came to the festival today to present the ideas that our
00:16:18children are working on within the academy. We have a set
00:16:21of projects presented by the children. The idea of
00:16:24the academy is to spread the culture of robotics and programming
00:16:27to children among people in our region. We have
00:16:30a set of robots, some of them educational robots and some advanced
00:16:34robots. Our children presented ideas for these projects
00:16:38so that we can present them within the festival and convey
00:16:41an idea to people of what robotics is, what a robot is, and what
00:16:45programming is, and how a child can learn it from a young age
00:16:48and expand in this field, which is very pioneering at this time
00:16:52and for the future.
00:16:56So, a festival that combines entertainment, culture,
00:16:59and education in one space. Many interacted with it.
00:17:02How did you comment on the launch of the
00:17:06Syria Summer Festival in Latakia? Our first comment is from Mirvat on
00:17:10Facebook. "A cultural
00:17:13and entertaining festival, unique and joyful for adults before
00:17:17children. Thank you." Siraj
00:17:20wrote and commented: "It was a distinguished start
00:17:24for the Syria Summer Festival for families and witnessed
00:17:29the heart and a family atmosphere that is
00:17:32irreplaceable." Fatima commented
00:17:34and said, "Despite the crowd at the festival,
00:17:38it was a wonderful opening and truly beautiful activities."
00:17:42We conclude with what Noor wrote on
00:17:45Facebook: "Such activities make
00:17:48children happy and take them out of the routine
00:17:51and allow them to learn new things
00:17:54in a fun way. Frankly, it's nice
00:17:57to see activities that bring the whole family together in one place
00:18:01and give children space to play
00:18:04and create."
00:18:10Latakia comes within the program of the Directorate of Culture in the province,
00:18:14aiming to revitalize the cultural
00:18:17and social movement in various Syrian provinces
00:18:22cultural and entertainment activities.
00:18:36The house of a lifetime. A dream for everyone, but
00:18:39finding a suitable home is not
00:18:43easy, especially when it comes to a privileged location,
00:18:47integrated services, and planning that meets
00:18:50the family's needs. In the Qudsaya
00:18:52suburb near Damascus, the Abyat Hills project opens
00:18:56a new door for those wishing to own a home
00:19:00within a modern residential project. Watch
00:19:02with me.
00:19:33So, the subscription procedures for the Abyat project units
00:19:36have begun
00:19:38under the direct supervision of the General Establishment for Housing, with the aim of receiving
00:19:42citizens' applications and organizing the registration
00:19:45process according to the approved mechanisms, ensuring
00:19:48transparency and smooth implementation. But how is
00:19:51the subscription done and what are the required procedures for those wishing
00:19:55to register? We started the subscription today
00:19:59on 5/8, Wednesday, and the subscription
00:20:02is done with the following procedures: the citizen
00:20:05comes to us with a family and their ID
00:20:08and subscribes. After the subscription, we generate a code.
00:20:12Of course, all this work is done under the supervision of the General
00:20:15Establishment for Housing,
00:20:20the Qatari bank at one of its branches, either Abu Rumman or Ibn
00:20:24al-Abbasiyin, and payment is made. Once payment is made,
00:20:27the subscription process
00:20:28is complete.
00:20:31The Abyat Hills project comes as an executive step towards
00:20:35developing a modern urban environment based on a partnership between
00:20:39the public and private sectors,
00:20:42offering a comprehensive residential model that includes essential
00:20:45services and facilities that meet
00:20:49the needs of residents. The project also adopts
00:20:52an urban vision that takes into account modern environmental standards.
00:20:56The project, which was launched in partnership between the General Establishment
00:20:59for Housing and Abyat Saudi Company for Real Estate
00:21:02Investment and Development, spans an area of approximately
00:21:06380 thousand square meters
00:21:09and includes more than 200 residential units within an executive
00:21:13plan extending for four years. And with
00:21:17the start of the subscription, what were the impressions of those wishing
00:21:20to register
00:21:23project? Abyat Hills project. I am one of the people who
00:21:26is interested in the topic and following it, and we have friends and relatives for whom we registered.
00:21:30I chose it because it is the largest project of its
00:21:35the capital Damascus, with this size and this mountain view.
00:21:38And this place, I am from the residents of the suburb previously.
00:21:41Currently, it is a very clean and quiet
00:21:44place.
00:21:48I always hope that such development will begin with projects like this one
00:21:52in other cities and across
00:21:56project is dedicated to families, that in other
00:22:01basis.
00:22:03Since the announcement of the start of the Abyat Hills project, there
00:22:07has been significant interaction from citizens on social media platforms. So how
00:22:11were your comments? Our first comment is from Muhammad
00:22:14Al-Qaddour on Facebook.
00:22:16"An important step towards strengthening the housing sector
00:22:20and modern housing options for citizens."
00:22:24Muhammad Abu Saleh said on Facebook and wrote, "We hope
00:22:28that this project will positively impact the real estate
00:22:31market and provide affordable housing."
00:22:34Harith Al-Homsi commented
00:22:36and wrote, "A project by 2000,
00:22:40an important step to address the housing
00:22:42crisis. It is important that prices are reasonable and distribution
00:22:46mechanisms are transparent." Awas Liqa commented
00:22:50and wrote, "I just watched a video
00:22:53of the reservation queues at Abyat Hills. The queue number reached
00:22:56165,
00:22:59dawn, and some came from the airport to the reservation
00:23:03area. There is a lot of demand for
00:23:06We conclude with Tim Ahmed's comment on
00:23:10Facebook: "Any new housing project gives
00:23:13hope. We hope the implementation will be according to the schedule
00:23:16and with high quality. We need dozens
00:23:20of housing projects in Syria, and this is an urgent
00:23:24need in all governorates. House
00:23:27prices have soared terrifyingly, and house rental prices
00:23:31have also soared. The solution is housing
00:23:34projects."
00:23:38With the start of subscription to the Abyat Hills project, the Minister
00:23:42of Public Works and Housing, Mustafa Abdul Razzaq, stressed
00:23:45the importance of adherence to transparency
00:23:47and clarity in all stages of the subscription, and providing
00:23:51accurate information to citizens, which ensures the fairness of procedures
00:23:55and enhances trust in the project.
00:24:08And now to the most circulated clips on social
