00:21:09on the Sweiyeh bridge in the rural area of Al-Bukamal, amidst calls
00:21:13from residents to accelerate the pace of implementation due
00:21:16to its importance in connecting the region to the eastern villages towards
00:21:20the Iraqi border, after its previous disruption
00:21:23caused great suffering, especially during winter
00:21:37and high water levels. We can't sit in our houses because of this valley, and we have here a low
00:21:40spot, you see it yourself, it's low. If it comes, the bridge doesn't even manage to rise above
00:21:44the water before the water enters our houses. We don't even get rest in our houses, it's all valleys.
00:21:48What problems will the new bridge solve for you? It will solve many problems for us. This bridge
00:21:52that they put soil on, the temporary one, it won't let the water pass.
00:21:56It will solve all our problems. The water is still flowing underneath, it doesn't come up to us.
00:21:59We have this called
00:22:03Al-Shuaib Ali. When it breaks, this
00:22:07Al-Bukamal towards the east, towards Iraq.
00:22:11This road is completely cut off. The people started
00:22:14working on it, but we demand that they
00:22:17speed up
00:22:20bridge due to its importance.
00:22:22The
00:22:25collapse of this bridge caused great suffering to the residents,
00:22:30winter. The floods or rainfall
00:22:33levels were very high, so the road was completely
00:22:37cut off. The road is considered an international road and serves
00:22:40the local residents. After intensive appeals
00:22:44from the residents and the Directorate of Al-Bukamal region, official
00:22:48letters were sent to the Governor. They responded to the demands
00:22:51of the residents.
00:22:54Currently, under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport, the General Corporation for Roads
00:22:57is rehabilitating the Sweiyeh Bridge in response to the requests
00:23:01of the residents. Currently, we are working on building an earthen
00:23:05barrier to prevent river water from flowing towards
00:23:09the work area, and we have taken soil samples to determine the compacted
00:23:13layer for constructing the engineering piles. The bridge
00:23:16is approximately 100 meters long and 12 meters wide.
00:23:22Accelerating the construction of the Sweiyeh Bridge is a popular
00:23:25demand because winter is coming, and this
00:23:28bridge will not be able to withstand the coming
00:23:31floods. Ahmed Al-Atra, Syrian News, Sweiyeh

00:23:39The internal transport sector and taxi drivers in Raqqa city
00:23:43face a service crisis due to
00:23:45the severe deterioration of infrastructure and the dilapidation of main
00:23:49and secondary road networks within the city, turning them into
00:23:53a daily obstacle that threatens traffic and also causes
00:23:57frequent mechanical failures for vehicles,
00:24:02drivers amid rising costs of spare parts and maintenance.
00:24:17The roads are really bad. Every
00:24:20time, every 15 days, we have to go adjust the alignment. My alignment
00:24:24is completely
00:24:25out of whack.
00:24:29The city roads are really bad. I mean, we come to work
00:24:33with extra expenses and repairs because they're broken.
00:24:36So we demand that the government rehabilitate
00:24:39the roads and improve the road
00:24:42situation in the city.
00:24:46By God, the roads are very bad, dilapidated, I mean,
00:24:50potholes and ditches, and winter is coming, which will cause a lot of damage.
00:24:53So we hope that the issue will be resolved
00:24:56as soon as possible, if possible.
00:24:59We know that the government
00:25:02is new and things are difficult, but we hope for quick solutions, even emergency
00:25:06solutions.
00:25:11Of course, Raqqa governorate, after its liberation,
00:25:14it appears to us that the infrastructure is very dilapidated,
00:25:17whether in the road network or
00:25:21the sewage infrastructure, and it needs to be rehabilitated
00:25:24from scratch. We have put in place quick emergency plans
00:25:28for some roads, and long-term strategic plans
00:25:31for other main roads.
00:25:34We worked on repairing, maintaining, and patching some
00:25:37internal roads, their number was 14 roads, and by the
00:25:41grace of God, 12 of them have been completed,
00:25:45so traffic within the city has become smooth,
00:25:48and we have overcome most of those potholes, ditches, and bumps.
00:25:51Now we have the rehabilitation of the main
00:25:55outer roads,
00:25:58including this southern
00:25:59ring road.

00:27:18people in its beating heart, the heart of historical
00:27:22steadfastness and a symbol of the continuation of Syrian
00:27:25sovereignty. We came here to support
00:27:31Golan. This is what
00:27:33we actually saw at the governorate's reception
00:27:37here, that there is an urgent need to restore
00:27:41the political right of this region
00:27:44and also to activate the right
00:27:47to grant rights to farmers whose rights are violated
00:27:51every day.
00:27:54The goal is to confirm that the People's Assembly,
00:27:57and we, our colleagues, as members of parliament, represent
00:28:00all segments of dear Syria. And we came to Quneitra
00:28:04specifically because the Israeli violations happening in the city
00:28:08inflict great injustice on our people.
00:28:11are an integral part of this region. The suffering that
00:28:14our people feel is our suffering, and we affirm the unity of Syrian
00:28:18territories and reject any incursion of Israeli aggression,
00:28:21especially against our people in Quneitra
00:28:24governorate.
00:28:26The gathering, in fact, we came with my brothers, colleagues,
00:28:30the honorable members of the People's Assembly to Quneitra
00:28:34governorate, and we were received by the Governor of Quneitra. Indeed,
00:28:38we thank them for the warm
00:28:40visit is to build a bridge of trust, love,
00:28:43brotherhood, solidarity, and cooperation with the people
00:28:46of dear Quneitra, Quneitra, which has offered
00:28:50and sacrificed greatly for the unity of Syria. In Syria,
00:28:54Syria is one, Syria is united. If
00:28:57any member today
00:29:00was invited to a meeting in Quneitra governorate
00:29:04under the patronage of the Governor of Quneitra, and it included
00:29:07members of the People's Assembly from all
00:29:10governorates, the demands were very
00:29:13urgent. Of course, we thank them, may God reward them,
00:29:16for expressing their solidarity with Quneitra
00:29:20wholeheartedly, and this somewhat alleviates the suffering
00:29:23of the people of Quneitra. However, what
00:29:26we also hope for is
00:29:30to stop the daily
00:29:32violations of the Zionist occupation
00:29:36against Quneitra governorate, specifically some areas
00:29:40that should be studied in the curricula at all
00:29:43stages. Not far from Quneitra,
00:29:47we are joined by Syrian News correspondent Shadi Abu Zeid from there. Welcome,
00:29:51Shadi. So, a delegation from the People's Assembly, members
00:29:56in Quneitra, who did they meet? What was the program
00:30:02governorate, and there was also an expanded
00:30:04meeting.
00:30:09Yes, Abdul Razzaq, I mean, the visit program, which took place
00:30:13today from the People's Assembly, included heading to the historical
00:30:16Khan Arnabah, which is also historical, to view
00:30:21it holds of historical and archaeological value,
00:30:25and to learn about its situation as part of a visit that included
00:30:29a side of these historical landmarks in the governorate. The delegation
00:30:32also met with a number of dignitaries and figures in this
00:30:36region, allowing Abdul Razzaq to listen
00:30:39to the issues and needs they raise
00:30:43and to learn about their views regarding
00:30:45the situation of the governorate and the services provided in it.
00:30:49Of course, these meetings gain
00:30:52importance by providing an opportunity for direct
00:30:55communication between members of the People's Assembly
00:30:59and officials.
