00:00:27to find this announcement on
00:00:37Damascus. Of course, this
00:00:50Welcome, viewers, to this new episode of
00:00:53RePost, where we discuss
00:00:56And I will also include with the most prominent topics shared by Syrians on social media over the past hour.
00:01:00Syrian actor Loujain
00:01:07Ismail sparked widespread controversy after his statement about the detention of his brother
00:01:11Inal and the lack of news about him
00:01:15is he going to from his family, and what he said about
00:01:18security measures taken at his family's home in Damascus
00:01:21before an official narrative
00:01:24emerged that differed about the circumstances of the case. Loujain
00:01:28Ismail said that his family lost contact
00:01:31with his brother since June
00:01:332025 and that they later learned
00:01:37of his detention after they were informed that the case
00:01:40was related to the use of a forged identity,
00:01:43while, according to his narrative, they were unable
00:01:46to determine
00:01:49crisis continues to occupy have spread about this his legal status or appoint a lawyer for him.
00:01:52Later, an official
00:01:54and many changes have occurred narrative emerged stating that Inal has been detained for
00:01:57months due to his previous work
00:02:00as a liaison officer in the security office of the Fourth Division,
00:02:03which was led by Maher al-Assad, the brother
00:02:07of the ousted Bashar al-Assad,
00:02:10he said and that official visit records document four visits to him during
00:02:14his detention period, while other narratives spoke
00:02:17of the brother, actor Loujain's role
00:02:20in relaying orders to forces that were
00:02:24deployed in the vicinity of Eastern Ghouta,
00:02:27while no full public judicial details
00:02:30of the accusations against him have been published
00:02:34so far. The emergence of this
00:02:37information redirected the debate from the issue of the actor's brother's detention
00:02:41to questions related to his past in
00:02:46how much will it cost me to get to the university, teacher? the Fourth Division and whether the family's narrative about the circumstances of his detention
00:02:49matches the
00:02:51complete. On official announced data. This
00:02:55story began when actor Loujain
00:03:00a wide segment of Ismail posted a video two days ago, in which he spoke about
00:03:03his brother's arrest since the middle of last year,
00:03:06talking about visits being banned and a lack of news about him.
00:03:10Let's watch what he said at that
00:03:13time. For a year and three
00:03:15months, on
00:03:20And in a video June 19, 2025,
00:03:23Damascus." Also, from we lost contact with my brother
00:03:25for a period, and I don't
00:03:28know where he is.
00:03:31Of course, like everyone
00:03:34else, we understood that he was in fact
00:03:38wrong, and
00:03:42we didn't know what to
00:03:44is broader than news. do.
00:03:46After a while, some people contacted us and told us that if we wanted to know
00:03:50anything about him, we had to pay a large sum
00:03:53of money.
00:03:56fuel issue maintained its position in We told them, of course, like any human being who can offer anything for
00:04:01him, we paid a sum of money,
00:04:05some of the and we discovered that
00:04:07he was detained by General
00:04:11their insides on Security.
00:04:13We said there might be a misunderstanding, there might be a mistake. We asked about
00:04:17the matter.
00:04:19They said there was no need to ask about the matter,
00:04:23that he was accused of
00:04:28the continuous and changing interaction with a forged identity. Of course, his identity is not forged.
00:04:32And his name
00:04:35is known. And we can provide
00:04:39words on all the evidence, and there is something in law called data matching.
00:04:42This video has circulated on Syrian
00:04:45social media over the past two days,
00:04:48and many reactions have accumulated around it, some
00:04:52of Tartus due to a dialect of which sympathized with Loujain's narrative, and some
00:04:55questioned the case. However, the official Syrian News
00:04:58Channel published information about it,
00:05:02quoting an unnamed source.
00:05:05as old. The governmental channel quoted a security source as saying
00:05:09it is noteworthy that the announcement does not that the accused, Inal Ismail, Loujain's brother, was arrested months ago
00:05:12and that he held the position of liaison officer in the security office of the Fourth Division with
00:05:15the forces that committed massacres against
00:05:18civilians in Eastern Ghouta,
00:05:21without clarifying any legal
00:05:25or judicial context regarding the case.
00:05:28Later, Loujain Ismail published a second
00:05:33from the case and said that his brother was not an officer,
00:05:37stating that their confiscated house had been owned by
00:05:40the family for 40 years, and he presented documents stating
00:05:44that the house was private property and not property
00:05:48of the Ministry of Defense. Let's watch.
00:05:52In fact, our house has been lived in for 40 years,
00:05:55and my father's ownership deed for the house
00:05:58will be included in the documents for you to see. It is a court
00:06:02ruling that is documented
00:06:05and officially certified.
00:06:09the documents a statement from the Damascus Governorate
00:06:13that clarifies that the land on which the property is located belongs
00:06:16to the Damascus Governorate and not to the Ministry of Defense.
00:06:19So all this talk that you are trying to use to tarnish
00:06:23our reputation and the reputation of my family
00:06:26has no basis in truth.
00:06:28And
00:06:31it is unfortunate the way you are dealing with us,
00:06:34and of course, you
00:06:37and the group
00:06:40of sycophants you have on social media,
00:06:45it is very difficult
00:06:47for you
00:06:50to drag us into the abyss in this way, as
00:06:54you are trying to drag us. And this makes us more worried about our future
00:06:57and makes us more careful about our future and makes us
00:07:01cautious in dealing with you, in dealing with every word
00:07:04you say, because it is very clear
00:07:07that you have no credibility with any
00:07:10person.
00:07:13Unfortunately, the way you are dealing with us, and which does not allow us
00:07:17to feel safe for a single moment about
00:07:19our future.
00:07:22Of course, the issue caused a stir on social
00:07:25media recently, and dozens commented on it. Let's
00:07:29review together some of the comments about
00:07:31that. Mohammad wrote, "Loujain Ismail, who
00:07:35is defending his imprisoned brother, just to clarify, the matter is not related
00:07:39to you alone, but rather the entire neighborhood was ordered to be evacuated.
00:07:42The reason is that the neighborhood was built under Assad's rule and without
00:07:46compensation, and the lands must be returned
00:07:49to the people of Maadamiyet." Meanwhile,
00:07:51Rawand wrote in another comment, "Speaking
00:07:55of Loujain Ismail, artist Yara al-Sabri, throughout the years of the revolution,
00:07:59demanded the release of detainees and published their photos
00:08:02and names and asked about them. This campaign caused pain
00:08:06to many people. There is a huge difference between those who stood with the criminal
00:08:09and those who stood with the
00:08:12oppressed." Meanwhile, Sham
00:08:15wrote, "The video of actor Loujain Ismail presented
00:08:18a very emotional narrative about his brother and family, but
00:08:22the problem is that tears in front of the camera cannot
00:08:25be a substitute for presenting all
00:08:28the facts."
00:08:56in the introduction to the segment, dear viewers, spread widely
00:09:00yesterday as an excerpt from the series
00:09:03"Day'a Day'a" to express the trend related
00:09:07to the concert of the artist Asala Nasri
00:09:09in Damascus. The trend itself has topped
00:09:13the interaction lists for two days, and the song itself received
00:09:16widespread popularity among Syrians, so much so that it
00:09:19achieved more than two million views in
00:09:22six days, and that was for the remix
00:09:26version, while the views of the original version exceeded one million
00:09:29and 700 thousand views on the official
00:09:33channel of the artist Asala Nasri in four
00:09:36days. Dear viewers,
00:09:40the trend and the scattered comments
00:09:42from social media users brought the trend back to
00:09:46the forefront and kept it at the top of the most circulated
00:09:51social media during
00:09:54the past hours. In a video
00:09:58we reviewed in yesterday's episode about
00:10:01Asala's apology to the people
00:10:05mistake during her performance of the song related
00:10:08to the governorate, Asala mentioned a young man whom she described as handsome,
00:10:13who asked her to correct the dialect mistakes recently.
00:10:16This young man posted a video in which he reacted
00:10:20to Asala's apology. Let's watch.
00:10:22I thank Ms. Asala very much. There was no need
00:10:26for this apology, and God bless your heart, you are a pride, a pride
00:10:30for all of Syria. God bless your heart, and God bless your voice, and God bless your songs.
00:10:33And it's okay to delete all the letters, remove all the letters. Even if you remove a single letter,
00:10:37we have no problem. We mean, if you removed two letters, remove five letters, give
00:10:41me "kin" instead of "kareem." I have no problem. And thank you very much
00:10:44for this sweet gesture. And if I am a handsome young man, then you are the best of the best.
00:10:48You are the most beautiful one from here to Tripoli. God bless your
00:10:51heart. Of course, the trend did not
00:10:55stop at Syria's borders, but crossed into
00:10:58Iraq, where an Iraqi content creator reacted
00:11:01to the trend in a video in which he recalled
00:11:05his feeling when Hatem Al Iraqi sang "Raj'een Ya
00:11:08Watana" (We are returning, homeland), offering advice to those wishing to return not to rush,
00:11:12according to his expression. Let's watch
00:11:14together. No one should get involved.
00:11:17Passports like yours, Asala's money is like yours, and Asala's Levant is not
00:11:21like yours, just as Hatem Al Iraqi got me involved in 2014.
00:11:26Go ahead. We're
00:11:30returning, homeland. Where?
00:11:32اسحلبكشن
00:11:36Huh? Hamish. And I felt that the homeland
00:11:39was waiting for me. I must build
00:11:41this homeland because this was the thinking in this context, that
00:11:45the homeland is on me. So be careful. Hatem
00:11:49Al Iraqi, we heard him in 2008, and he's still living in Dubai,
00:11:53and Asala, so be careful. Neither Asala returned to Damascus, nor
00:11:56Hatem. Look at life. Live.
00:12:00But viewers, did you know that the Asala trend has branched out
00:12:04to include a part that only talks about
00:12:07ticket prices and how to buy them?
00:12:10Dozens of videos
00:12:13topic. For example, here in this video,
00:12:17this young man said
00:12:20that his mother was looking for her gold
00:12:23at home, while he was singing
00:12:26at Asala's concert, indicating that he sold
00:12:30his mother's jewelry to attend
00:12:33the concert. Of course,
00:12:35this jokingly. Let's watch.
00:12:37With you.
00:12:43But our
00:12:47faithful heart is a guide. There is no
00:12:50believer. If you don't have.
00:13:04Of course, viewers, these videos
00:13:06circulated here in this story that
00:13:10we shared and spread, or were circulated on social
00:13:14media. Dozens, if not hundreds, of similar videos spread in the past hours,
00:13:18and they sparked many reactions on social
00:13:21media. Let's review some of them. Qaisar
00:13:25wrote, "All of Syria was watching Asala's concert.
00:13:28The people in one day..." Also,
00:13:31another comment from Yamama, who wrote, "By God, if Asala
00:13:35agrees to come to Aleppo, I will sell our house, not just Mama's gold,
00:13:38and go attend her concert," according to her expression. Also,
00:13:42Kawthar wrote, "Oh people, I am Moroccan, and I feel like
00:13:45I want to return to
00:13:48the comments, Haifa wrote, "It seems that Syrians
00:13:52in Syria have more money than Syrians living abroad. Everyone bought
00:13:55tickets and attended
00:13:57the concert."
00:14:07Imagine falling asleep at 40 years old
00:14:10and waking up later to find out that
00:14:13you are classified as an elder. This
00:14:16idea may seem closer to a joke, but it turned into
00:14:20a subject of debate on social media after an announcement
00:14:23from the Ministry of Culture about an event
00:14:26titled "Life After Forty," and described
00:14:30as an event designated
00:14:33for seniors. There is no power or strength except in God. The announcement
00:14:36specified the Arab Cultural Center in Abu Rummaneh,
00:14:39affiliated with the Directorate of Culture in Damascus, as the venue
00:14:43for the event on September 17,
00:14:46which was two days ago. The event was titled
00:14:49"Life After Forty,"
00:14:52and included an awareness segment and an artistic
00:14:56one. However, the phrase "event for seniors"
00:15:00included in the announcement attracted more attention
00:15:03than the content of the event itself.
00:15:06This is the invitation to attend this
00:15:10event. The phrase sparked ridicule and questions on
00:15:13social media, as followers considered that
00:15:16classifying 40 years old as seniors
00:15:20was an exaggeration, while the announcement turned into
00:15:23a trend about age and when
00:15:27a person can actually be described
00:15:30However,
00:15:34state that attendance is limited to those over
00:15:3740. Instead, it uses the description "seniors"
00:15:40in presenting the event. The ministry did not
00:15:43clarify in the published announcement who exactly was intended
00:15:46by classifying participants or the target
00:15:49audience within this category. Given
00:15:53that the event was two days ago, before the trend
00:15:56appeared, we were unable to fully cover
00:16:00the event in RePost, and we were also unable
00:16:05the official accounts of the Ministry
00:16:07of Culture or the official page of the Arab Cultural
00:16:10Center in Abu Rummaneh in
00:16:15topic, dear viewers, attracted many comments on social
00:16:18media. Let's review some of them. Mahmoud
00:16:22wrote, "Oh people, the Ministry of Culture is all messed up.
00:16:25Do they know that 40 years old in Europe is considered
00:16:29still in the prime of youth? You made them seniors,
00:16:32and soon they'll need a nursing home," according
00:16:35to his expression. Also, Bilal wrote, "The story
00:16:39can be swallowed, and we can say that the people calculated age according to the Syrian scale,
00:16:42and it turned out that forty-year-olds are seniors. But
00:16:46the forty-year-old elderly man in the poster walking alone on a deserted
00:16:50mountain road in the fog,
00:16:52the seminar or is he going to commit suicide?" according
00:16:56to his expression. Suhad wrote, "From today
00:16:59onwards, no one is allowed to argue with me in the comments,
00:17:02or correct my words, or treat me disrespectfully, since I am over 40 now,
00:17:06and respecting age is a duty. Government decisions
00:17:09have defined seniors. Who dares to object to them?
00:17:13Let's see."
00:17:23Viewers, the fuel
00:17:26a significant space in the Syrian trend, despite days having passed since it began
00:17:31in this file, especially after the hearing of the Minister
00:17:35of Energy in the People's Assembly
00:17:38two days ago.
00:17:41The hearing, then, was not held, but rather
00:17:45postponed to another
00:17:47day. But for Syrians, this issue still constitutes a fertile
00:17:51trend, especially with their continued suffering from rising fuel
00:17:55prices and scarcity at times,
00:17:58which pushes them to create satirical content about the issue,
00:18:01or comments, or demands, and publish them on their social
00:18:05media accounts. In Deir ez-Zor, a content
00:18:08creator in a video commented
00:18:11on the decision to set three prices for fuel.
00:18:14Let's follow.
00:18:15Teacher,
00:18:231000, teacher. How much? 10. Syrian, don't
00:18:27turn on me. We just need to get there. No, no, no, absolutely. Just 1000, just
00:18:301000. It's old
00:18:33currency. Are you sure? Are you sure? By God, you're a good
00:18:36man. Come on, get in, get in, get in. Oh God, in the name of God.
00:18:40Hold the steering wheel well. I'll hold the steering wheel. Hold it.
00:18:43Oh God.
00:18:48Come on, hurry up, teacher. No, brother, why is gasoline expensive?
00:18:51How is that, by God? We'll go pushing, pushing, pushing, by God.
00:18:54Come on.
00:18:58that is less than a minute long, a content creator
00:19:01used a "tambour" as a passenger bus in
00:19:05this satirical scene that gained popularity on Facebook.
00:19:09Let's watch. Nano rocks roundabout, get in, go,
00:19:12get in, go, a millimeter, take me to the rocks. I've been waiting for two hours. Tambour,
00:19:16get in. Get in, go, get in, go, get in.
00:19:19That's how it is, my cousin. Don't be deceived by
00:19:22appearances. I used to be a merchant, but after the rise
00:19:26in fuel prices, this is what happened to me.
00:19:29As we mentioned, viewers, the
00:19:33the Syrian trend through satirical videos
00:19:37and comedic comments here and there.
00:19:40Let's review together comments. Hala
00:19:44wrote, "I wish we wouldn't take the rise in fuel prices as a joke
00:19:48and a laugh, because the issue is not simple and it's not something to laugh
00:19:51about. Every rise in fuel prices affects
00:19:55every detail of our lives: transportation, food,
00:19:58clothes, services, treatment, and our livelihood."
00:20:02Also, a comment from Jaber wrote, "The people should
00:20:06be allocated a mare. It's much cheaper and no car,
00:20:10no melons. The horse needs feed,
00:20:13and that's it, and on top of that, it's available and cheap," according
00:20:16to his expression. Omar also commented, saying, "I wish
00:20:19the state would consider the living conditions of the people and seek
00:20:22solutions to alleviate their burdens, because fuel is linked to almost everything,
00:20:26and the citizen in the end is the one who will
00:20:29bear
00:20:31this increase."
00:20:41A few days ago, a video spread of an elderly Syrian man showing
00:20:44his hidden library behind a wall in his house.
00:20:48This video received widespread popularity on social
00:20:52media. Let's watch together viewers, the story of the elderly man
00:20:55and the books in this interview prepared by colleagues in the New
00:20:58Media department, which included an interview with
00:21:02the owner of this story.
00:21:05Hello. My feeling is that
00:21:09it's like the feeling I had when I found it safe, like
00:21:13the feeling we had when we entered this country. We couldn't believe we were here
00:21:16in prison with our master Khaled, and we prayed
00:21:20at the shrines and a little bit.
00:21:31This is my house, the house where the library used to be.
00:21:35And when I
00:21:37was here, I was afraid.
00:21:41Most people migrated at the end
00:21:44of 2011, or most of them.
00:21:47So I thought, I mean, other than the young people,
00:21:51some families thought that
00:21:54this library was very dear to me, and moving the stuff was
00:21:57impossible, and I didn't have time for the stuff. So
00:22:00it's inside the house. Here's the problem if it's going to stay.
00:22:04I put the first ones in this wooden
00:22:06shelf. I put them
00:22:10on top of each other. I found they were going to fall over, so I took some angles and screws
00:22:13and secured them to the walls. I mean, it's almost regular. It's working. I
00:22:17put the books haphazardly so
00:22:21that more could fit. So I told
00:22:23him to close the wall on them. We built a hidden wall.
00:22:27Of course, the neighbors and some young men from the streets
00:22:30helped us. We built it and plastered
00:22:33it with white cement. After
00:22:36we plastered it, its color was still a little bit different, so we also gave it a small
00:22:40fine coat of paint so that it would match its friends. About
00:22:44four months ago, God blessed us, we started it, thank God,
00:22:47and we finished it. After we finished, I thought we would move the library.
00:22:51I mean, we would
00:22:53delay a bit, we would die without
00:22:57seeing it. The building was busy with it.
00:23:00So I decided to demolish it, and I loved it. No one demolishes
00:23:03the wall. So I started with the wall, I demolished it, and God
00:23:07blessed us, and it came out fine, thank God. It came out safe, because
00:23:11I put cardboard for it, and I put plywood,
00:23:14and it all had screws. It's clear where it was.
00:23:17And
00:23:20God protected it from humidity, thank God, and from everything. Even though I was worried about it
00:23:24during the winters for 14, 15 years, it didn't
00:23:26say a word.
00:23:32In another matter, a female visitor criticized some aspects of
00:23:35state departments during her visit to a government department.
00:23:39She spoke about details that she considered disturbing
00:23:41for someone entering these departments who is coming from
00:23:45outside Syria. Opinions were divided about the published video, as
00:23:50the audience criticized what the girl in the video
00:23:53said, while some supported
00:23:56her. Let's watch. Guys, something caught
00:23:59my attention, okay? Here at the Examinations
00:24:03Department, people come from outside the country to authenticate
00:24:06their certificates, modify them, I don't know. So there's a problem with people
00:24:10coming from outside the country. Someone who studied in Kuwait, in the Emirates,
00:24:13in Dubai, in Saudi Arabia, I don't know, there are no chairs for people
00:24:16to sit on. It's crowded, and there's no system, no cooling,
00:24:21no fan. I don't know. I mean, someone coming from outside, for example, from a developed
00:24:24country, and he wants to come and study here. I don't know, he enters
00:24:27here, and his future is destroyed,
00:24:30honestly.
00:24:34Cases of theft of solar energy cables continue
00:24:37to appear on social media in the city of Aleppo, and this time from
00:24:41Firdaws residences, where a circulated video showed one
00:24:44of the thieves cutting the energy cables and pulling the copper
00:24:48out of them, which deprived the residents of solar
00:24:52energy electricity. Let's watch. It's a shame, you see? I mean,
00:24:55a thief without a care. After cutting, he
00:24:58pulls them out and empties
00:25:01the rooftops. He empties them
00:25:04and leaves. Firdaws residences, first entrance to Firdaws
00:25:08residences. You see? You see, they are all empty.
00:25:11The biggest one is shining on this thief. He cuts
00:25:15and sits there as if there's no one who will
00:25:18ask him what are you doing here?
00:25:22You see, it's cut
00:25:25and emptied for the whole
00:25:28building. All
00:25:30of it is cut, and he cut the world and left everyone
00:25:33without electricity.
00:25:36That concludes today's RePost. Wishing you all the best.
