00:04:39be a campaign on
00:04:50our tour for today.
00:04:53the gathering of these stalls In its first axis, we highlight Idlib? the efforts made by Yes, and as city councils
00:04:56and municipalities in removing
00:04:58available in street obstructions and encroachments on as examples of public property and putting
00:05:01an end to the occupation of sidewalks and roads. As for

00:05:14welcome. God bless you.
00:05:17The Idlib city council
00:05:26began removing obstructions from the sidewalks in
00:05:30traffic for citizens after they were occupied by
00:05:34shop owners. This came after
00:05:38appeals from the residents to work on removing the
00:05:41obstructions, while the city council began issuing
00:05:44warnings to those occupying the sidewalks four months
00:05:47ago. We follow this
00:05:50The sidewalk, everyone on my head, and you now
00:05:54immediately regarding
00:05:56the removal of obstructions from
00:06:01we issued warnings to violating shop owners who encroached on
00:06:06and roads. Some shops, unfortunately, did not respond to
00:06:11fined them with a financial fine.
00:06:14And today, this campaign after the financial fine for shop owners
00:06:18who responded to remove the obstructions, we
00:06:22confiscated some encroachments and violations. In
00:06:25the next phase, God willing, shops that do not comply with this
00:06:29act after implementing today's decision
00:06:33sidewalks and public roads will be sealed for a specific period of
00:06:35time. Our voice was heard,
00:06:39and finally this work was done.
00:06:42The good that all the young men did, and there was no occupation of sidewalks,
00:06:46and praise be to God, everything
00:06:49the sidewalk with peace of mind. Now, in this sun, imagine if
00:06:53the sidewalk was occupied, I would have to walk in the middle of the road, and the sun would hit me
00:06:57so that the shop owner who puts
00:07:00his goods there is happy. We requested
00:07:03fines by the government for these people
00:07:06who want to occupy the sidewalks.
00:07:09Based on this, I even linked all the residents that we have reached
00:07:13a state where traffic is really congested today.
00:07:16The streets sidewalk, which is
00:07:20basically prepared
00:07:25sidewalks so that they are not exposed to accidents. We reassure our people
00:07:28in Idlib that this campaign is ongoing,
00:07:32that the police's work in removing obstructions will be continuous
00:07:35and ongoing, whether in the evening or in the morning, God willing.
00:07:39In Idlib, the decision to remove
00:07:42obstructions from sidewalks began to be implemented
00:07:45after popular appeals to open sidewalks to citizens,
00:07:48according to them. And also, the shop
00:07:52will be sealed for a period of
00:07:55time. Moaz Al-Abbas,
00:07:58Idlib. For more, viewers, on this topic,
00:08:02our network of Syrian News correspondents joins
00:08:06us, Moaz Al-Abbas from Idlib, and also Muhammad Al-Ghazzawi
00:08:08from Daraa. Welcome, I'll start with you, Moaz, from
00:08:12where your report ended and from the appeals
00:08:15that were raised by the residents before we talk about
00:08:19obstructing traffic and pedestrians. After the four
00:08:23months passed, perhaps the warning
00:08:26that was issued by the city council, how can
00:08:30we assess the self-compliance rate before the concerned authorities intervene?
00:08:34Yes, Zaher, the decision to remove violations from sidewalks
00:08:37due to the many
00:08:43appeals from residents that hinder
00:08:46their movement came after
00:08:50a long period, perhaps four months. During these four
00:08:53months, the Idlib city council almost constantly
00:08:56issued warnings to shop owners to remove
00:09:00these obstructions from the sidewalks. Of course, there
00:09:03were two types
00:09:07type, which is considered, or what is called, "barracks" that
00:09:10were built on the sidewalks, whether with stones or
00:09:14iron. There was a campaign by the city
00:09:17council to remove these barracks,
00:09:20and these barracks, whether made of iron or stone,
00:09:24on the sidewalks. After that, he began to issue warnings
00:09:27continuously to those
00:09:30by placing goods on these sidewalks.
00:09:34Of course. Yes, Moaz, perhaps the connection
00:09:36with you was lost, Moaz. I will return
00:09:39to you, Moaz.
00:09:42I will turn to you, Muhammad Al-Ghazzawi, and before I start with you,
00:09:46I welcome Khalaf Al-Muhammad who joined us from Damascus. Muhammad,
00:09:49in Daraa, how does the scene of street
00:09:53occupations and encroachments in the governorate on
00:09:56roads look like? And has the municipality started similar campaigns
00:09:59to those we saw in
00:10:04we followed a few days ago, a report from
00:10:08the city of Al-Sanamin, where the director of Al-Sermiya
00:10:11district, Dr. Abdullah, held a meeting with the dignitaries
00:10:15of the residents to rehabilitate the popular market
00:10:18that connects the city on the main
00:10:22road, which is a type of occupation that
00:10:26hinders the movement of residents in the city of Al-Sanamin, which is considered
00:10:30one of the major cities in western Daraa,
00:10:33where the Al-Sadmin city council sent
00:10:37warnings to residents about
00:10:40the need to remove or move
00:10:43obstructions or occupations that occupy the roads from
00:10:47the sidewalk side, which is a public
00:10:49right. And there was a prior context from the residents regarding
00:10:53this phenomenon that has begun to burden
00:10:56the movement of passersby in
00:11:00that city, the city of Al-Sadmin, I mean. And this example
00:11:03has also been followed by the city of Nawa, whose city council
00:11:07has actually started sending warnings
00:11:10to shop
00:11:14owners and sidewalk owners who occupy
00:11:17sidewalks and public spaces and are near gardens that
00:11:21local councils throughout the governorate are striving, under the guidance of the governorate,
00:11:25to rehabilitate them as recreational areas
00:11:29for residents. Yes, yes, I will return
00:11:32to you, Muhammad. Perhaps the connection has been restored
00:11:36with Moaz. I will return to you, Moaz, and to
00:11:39Idlib. We were talking
00:11:41about obstructing traffic
00:11:45and pedestrians and about assessing the compliance
00:11:48rate before the concerned authorities intervened.
00:11:52Exactly, Zaher. After many warnings were issued
00:11:55by the Idlib City Council to shop owners, which lasted
00:11:59for about four
00:12:00months
00:12:06to remove these occupations, after removing the barracks,
00:12:10the main target was those who occupy the sidewalks.
00:12:13Due to the congestion in Idlib, in fact, with cars and motorcycles,
00:12:17which forces residents to walk in the middle
00:12:21of the street due to these occupations. Of course,
00:12:25a small number of shop owners, in fact,
00:12:28complied with removing these occupations,
00:12:32and the majority were still there. And even
00:12:35before implementing this operation yesterday, there was
00:12:39a tour by the head of the Idlib City Council
00:12:42to the shops to inform them
00:12:46that tomorrow there will be removal of occupations and violations.
00:12:50Despite that, there were many occupations.
00:12:53Therefore, the Idlib City Council, with the help of the police,
00:12:57began implementing this removal of occupations
00:13:00seriously and also fining those who
00:13:04did not remove these occupations and confiscating the goods that
00:13:07are on the sidewalks. Of course, this occupation or
00:13:11removal of these occupations will be divided into four phases.
00:13:14The first is a warning. The second is confiscation
00:13:17of the goods that are on the sidewalk. And if
00:13:21this happens again, there will be
00:13:25confiscation and also
00:13:28a financial penalty. After
00:13:31will be sealed for a period of time. Of course,
00:13:35according to the head of the city council, this
00:13:39police force that is removing
00:13:42day and night, meaning night shifts and day
00:13:45shifts, until these occupations are removed from the sidewalks.
00:13:48Why? Because there is severe congestion
00:13:52in Idlib, especially with the presence of cars
00:13:55and motorcycles. Shop owners, and I heard this complaint from
00:13:59residents, place their goods on the sidewalk and also
00:14:02وخاصه بظل وجود السيارات والدراجات الناريه
00:14:05اصحاب المحلات
00:14:08الاهالي يقومون بوضع بضائعهم على الرصيف وايضا
00:14:12place barriers in front of the sidewalk, meaning
00:14:15they occupy part of the street and also the sidewalk.
00:14:20from residents about these
00:14:24to walk in the middle of the street. When walking in the middle
00:14:27of the street, cars could hit them, motorcycles could hit them.
00:14:30And even traffic
00:14:34of this, and there were some fatalities and some
00:14:37injuries. And some of these fatalities were people with special needs
00:14:41who were forced to walk in the middle of the street
00:14:46the sidewalk that was originally designated
00:14:49decision came firmly to remove these
00:14:52occupations. Warnings were issued, and this campaign
00:14:55began in the main and crowded streets and will extend
00:14:59to the rest of the streets in Idlib. After that, there will
00:15:04other cities or on other large towns in the Idlib
00:15:08countryside until this campaign is implemented and the sidewalks
00:15:11are, in fact, the property of citizens, and citizens
00:15:14walk on them, and they are not the property of shop
00:15:18owners to display their goods on them. Yes, I will return
00:15:21to you, Moaz, to talk about the mechanism for dealing with goods.
00:15:25Confiscated and about the accompanying campaign, by talking
00:15:29about overcrowding. I will return to you, Khalaf. Greetings
00:15:33to you, Khalaf. Damascus, by its nature and the crowding
00:15:38sidewalks and public places. What is the status
00:15:42of these violations in the capital,
00:15:43Khalaf?
00:15:46Yes, Ziad, indeed, perhaps the most affected governorates
00:15:51and traffic obstructions on
00:15:54is Damascus governorate, and this is not new. In the era
00:15:58of the defunct regime, Zaher, as you know, there
00:16:00were many security branches that were part of the defunct security apparatuses.
00:16:04affiliated with the defunct regime. There were concrete
00:16:07blocks blocking many streets
00:16:10and narrowing the streets.
00:16:13And I am now in Kafr Sousa in central Damascus,
00:16:17Zaher, and this road
00:16:21of traffic obstacles from concrete blocks and others. So the problem in
00:16:25Damascus is not only a problem of street
00:16:29vendors broken cars
00:16:33and carts here on the edges of the sidewalks that also
00:16:36cause a second line of traffic
00:16:40due to the many of these cars,
00:16:43but also the concrete blocks that were in the form
00:16:46of security checkpoints and concrete blocks
00:16:50preventing access to some institutions
00:16:53and security branches during the era of the defunct regime. The Damascus
00:16:57governorate worked in several stages
00:17:00to remove these traffic
00:17:03obstacles. A campaign was launched against illegal
00:17:06street vendors and was aimed at closing
00:17:09these stalls, not permanently, but relocating them to
00:17:13popular markets known to the residents, where
00:17:17the stalls gather, and the governorate cleans
00:17:20these markets where the stalls gather. The governorate
00:17:23achieved two things in this matter. The first is not
00:17:29is not to have traffic
00:17:33obstructions. As colleague Moaz mentioned from
00:17:35Idlib, the occupations by the stalls take up
00:17:39a section of the road, between one meter and one
00:17:44to one and a half meters
00:17:49two obstacles: an obstacle for cars
00:17:52and an obstacle for pedestrians
00:17:56phase or the second campaign targeted
00:17:59Zaher, parked cars on the sides
00:18:02of roads, perhaps old cars,
00:18:05or broken cars, or abandoned cars. The Damascus
00:18:09governorate immediately responded to many
00:18:13various neighborhoods of Damascus governorate about these specific
00:18:17cars, so the governorate took them
00:18:20and impounded them and informed the owners
00:18:23of these cars to review the impoundment
00:18:26location. Also,
00:18:29finally, the third campaign
00:18:33targeted concrete blocks and the many
00:18:36checkpoints that the defunct regime used to place
00:18:39at the entrances of Damascus governorate neighborhoods. There were many
00:18:43concrete blocks, Zaher, at the entrances
00:18:47and also inside the streets and alleys in
00:18:50the governorate, obstructing the movement of pedestrians and cars
00:18:54alike. This campaign that I mentioned, did it
00:18:58aim to address traffic congestion, or was it
00:19:01for a constructive or organizational form related to urban
00:19:05appearance and reclaiming public property?
00:19:09Khalaf.
00:19:12If we talk about reducing traffic
00:19:16congestion in Damascus, Zaher, the matter
00:19:19is bigger than this campaign.
00:19:22It requires traffic engineering related
00:19:25to the infrastructure of the governorate
00:19:28itself, whether by expanding tunnels,
00:19:31also expanding traffic junctions, and also paving
00:19:35these roads. And also supporting them with tunnels
00:19:39and others, and also relocating some garages, which is
00:19:42indeed what the Traffic Engineering Directorate in Damascus
00:19:46Governorate did. They actually converted a number of roads
00:19:49to one-way and relocated some garages to other
00:19:53areas to reduce congestion. So traffic
00:19:56congestion, yes, it achieved a reduction, but not the required percentage,
00:20:00Zaher, because traffic congestion, even if it was reduced
00:20:05is still present in other
00:20:09places. The results or other results achieved by
00:20:13these campaigns are also the removal
00:20:16of these cars, which also reduced
00:20:19the placement of cars as a second line
00:20:22for citizens
00:20:25on both roads and roadside areas. And the other thing is
00:20:30in popular markets markets
00:20:35neighboring countries.
00:20:50Indulgence or exemption for some shops in some
00:20:54markets that have perhaps an old
00:20:57character. I'll move to Daraa
00:21:00and to you, Muhammad. You mentioned that the municipality
00:21:04council in Nawa started sending warnings. Is there a deadline
00:21:07given to those occupying sidewalks in Daraa
00:21:10to regularize their situation? And how are they being informed?
00:21:13Is it through mukhtars or personal notification?
00:21:17Yes. Through the follow-up
00:21:21apparatus by the local council
00:21:25or the municipal council in every city in
00:21:29Daraa governorate, especially in Nawa. Shop
00:21:31owners and street vendors who occupy public
00:21:35areas and sidewalks were informed through notices that give
00:21:38them a three-month deadline to regularize
00:21:42their situation. Their goods so that
00:21:45these goods are not subject to confiscation or perhaps
00:21:48a financial fine. There is cooperation from some
00:21:52shop owners regarding the deadline
00:21:54they were given, which is about to expire. And there
00:21:58are effective measures being taken by the Nawa city council
00:22:01to remove public occupations that occupy main roads,
00:22:05and we are talking about a traffic issue
00:22:09that also concerns traffic safety for vehicles
00:22:11and motorcycles, as colleagues mentioned. It is a real
00:22:15problem in the centers of major cities that
00:22:18attract residents
00:22:22vehicles. These occupations hinder traffic flow for both
00:22:25pedestrians and drivers of cars
00:22:29and those who drive vehicles
00:22:33matter increases the rate of accidents,
00:22:37and perhaps it is a popular demand today, under a repeated
00:22:40popular demand from the concerned authorities that these occupations
00:22:43hinder the movement of residents continuously in major cities,
00:22:47which prompted the councils and under the supervision of Daraa
00:22:52governorate, to hold several meetings to discuss
00:22:54the mechanism and methods of regulating this
00:22:57phenomenon
00:23:00that has become an obstacle to the movement of residents. We saw this in the city
00:23:04of Al-Sanamin until the administrative directorate of Al-Sanamin region held
00:23:07several
00:23:10the residents and dignitaries of the region and shop
00:23:13owners who are witnessing the main street in Al-Sanamin city
00:23:17with the popular market, which occupies
00:23:20approximately two hundred shops or two hundred
00:23:23stalls. This is what was reached later, and the residents
00:23:27and dignitaries agreed to find an alternative organized
00:23:30area in a civilized and organized
00:23:33administrative manner to move these
00:23:38location that was chosen by the director of Al-Sanamin
00:23:42region. And here I would like to point out that
00:23:45limited to removing them, but it is also
00:23:49an organizational and administrative work, and an organizational work that does
00:23:53not only concern the aesthetics of the region, but also concerns
00:23:56traffic safety and the general appearance of
00:24:00the main areas. And here I am talking about the main streets. We saw
00:24:04previously in the Daraa exhibition center, Zaher, in the Al-Sabeel
00:24:07neighborhood specifically, there were large occupations that the Daraa
00:24:10city council in the governorate center removed
00:24:14after also sending notices to the owners of these encroachments
00:24:17and informing them to vacate this location. Yes, it is of utmost
00:24:20necessity to allow or
00:24:24open space for pedestrians and for
00:24:27residents to cross safely. And this matter has become
00:24:30pleasing to the residents and to
00:24:34the residents of the area after the relocation of these kiosks
00:24:37and those who encroached to other areas. Yes, we will talk
00:24:41about the issue of financial fines. I will return to Idlib
00:24:44and to you, Moaz. You also mentioned the same issue
00:24:47of fines. Moaz mentioned confiscation and warning or
00:24:51sealing, and you mentioned that there will be an accompanying
00:24:55campaign. Before we talk about how and the mechanism
00:24:58for dealing with confiscated items, what is the mechanism
00:25:01of coordination between the police and the city council to ensure no
00:25:04friction during
00:25:08the competent authorities to remove these
00:25:10occupations?
00:25:16Of course, Zaher, the police force that came out of the city
00:25:20council to implement this campaign was accompanied by a police
00:25:23patrol that accompanies it everywhere
00:25:27in case there is friction or objection, so that
00:25:30the police can be in charge
00:25:34and handle this matter
00:25:36and facilitate it correctly.
00:25:39Why, Zaher, yes,
00:25:42yes, Moaz.
00:25:46Stalls or otherwise. Perhaps in Idlib
00:25:50the situation Yes, I hear you, Moaz.
00:25:53The situation is different.
00:25:56Why? In Idlib, there are no stalls
00:26:00because they were previously organized into markets and moved
00:26:03to them. Rather, the occupations are from shop owners
00:26:06who are owners of these shops or their tenants,
00:26:10and they place goods on the sidewalk and place
00:26:13an iron barrier or a motorcycle or other things in front of
00:26:17the sidewalk. And this matter caused
00:26:20annoyance among the residents, that anyone who wants to
00:26:23go or go to the market by motorcycle
00:26:27or car cannot
00:26:30even park his car and must
00:26:33park it far from the market so that he can
00:26:37enter the market because they occupy the sidewalk and
00:26:40in front of the sidewalk, they
00:26:43Therefore, this matter came after long warnings,
00:26:47and perhaps shop owners thought that there was leniency
00:26:50from the city council. But with the start of
00:26:53this campaign, there were confiscations by the city
00:26:56council of goods that were on the sidewalk. Of course,
00:26:59as I mentioned, it is after many warnings. And let
00:27:03me tell you here, Zaher, there is an important matter here,
00:27:06perhaps let me convey the second point of view. Shop
00:27:12our shops are small and cannot
00:27:16Therefore, we place them on the sidewalk. But here,
00:27:20in this context and with this need, there is a greater
00:27:24who are forced to walk in the street and could
00:27:30traffic accidents. Therefore, this sidewalk, according to the Idlib
00:27:34City Council, is designated for pedestrians and not for
00:27:37displaying goods. Therefore, there was firmness in dealing with and implementing
00:27:41these campaigns and removing
00:27:44the sidewalks. Of course, before we conclude this file,
00:27:49the screen, Moaz, how are confiscated
00:27:52goods dealt
00:27:54with?
00:28:00Zaher, after all the warnings that were given over the past
00:28:03days, or let me say over the past four months, now
00:28:07the confiscation of these violations has begun.
00:28:10Any violation on the sidewalk is confiscated completely,
00:28:13and if it recurs, a financial
00:28:16fine is imposed, and the goods are confiscated
00:28:20again. And if it recurs after that, the shop
00:28:26or the beginning of implementing this decision, has begun
00:28:31Yes, the confiscations, during our accompaniment
00:28:34of the city council and the patrol, confiscations
00:28:38occurred, and goods were confiscated and carried away so
00:28:43on the sidewalks. Of course, this campaign may continue
00:28:46for days, and perhaps it may continue for
00:28:49a long time until it is fully implemented throughout the city.
00:28:53After that, it will
00:28:56other cities. As I mentioned,
00:28:59campaign in the countryside. Thank you. I will stop here
00:29:03due to time constraints. Thank you, Moaz Al-Abbas, you were with us from Idlib,
00:29:06and thanks to Khalaf and Muhammad, you were with us from Daraa. Thank you,
00:29:10Syrian News correspondents.
00:29:21The Syrian-German Medical Association, S.G.M.A.,
00:29:23implemented a specialized medical
00:29:27campaign at the University Hospital for Heart Diseases and Surgery
00:29:30in Aleppo. This campaign aims to
00:29:34provide specialized healthcare to patients and transfer medical
00:29:38expertise, in addition to
00:29:41citizens, as all operations were provided free of
00:29:44charge, despite their high cost in private hospitals.
00:29:48We follow this
00:29:48material.
00:29:58My father, the patient, had acute coronary syndrome and chest
00:30:01pains. We performed examinations through the Sigma Association here at Aleppo
00:30:05University Hospital, and the examinations showed that he needed a surgical
00:30:08operation. The surgical operation is an open heart operation, an operation
00:30:12that is rarely performed here in Aleppo within the Sigma
00:30:17Germany, they are doing these operations for free, voluntarily.
00:30:21They are taking their leave to come down and perform these operations.
00:30:24And this is something that our country here needs, because people don't have
00:30:28the means to perform these
00:30:29operations.
00:30:37Yesterday, we admitted her to the hospital and they replaced her
00:30:40valve, and the operation was successful.
00:30:43I thank the staff and I thank whoever performed this operation.
00:30:47The operation was very, very wonderful.
00:30:49We hope these operations will be repeated in the city
00:30:53of Aleppo due to the circumstances we went
00:30:56through. What's the news? May God protect you.
