00:00:00Just the flowing of water in it means imagine
00:00:02planting a mine in an area, in the Hasaka area, in
00:00:06Al-Khabur, the flood is capable of moving it to Al-Shaddadi, capable of moving it to
00:00:10Raqqa, capable of moving it to Deir ez-Zor due to the shallowness of this
00:00:13transfer and due to the lightness of these individual mines.
00:00:16The problem is imminent and must be dealt with more quickly.
00:00:20In my opinion, the Ministry of Defense teams
00:00:23and the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster teams should accelerate more and more before
00:00:27starting the actual removal. We must also sit with
00:00:30the residents, hold community awareness sessions, and warn of the dangers
00:00:34of these mines. There is no harm in suspending the academic year
00:00:37for a full week and focusing only on the issue
00:00:41of mines, and that these mines have different types and shapes,
00:00:44the nature of dealing with them, the need to be careful of them, the need
00:00:47to not deal with them. You can imagine, two or three days ago,
00:00:50someone told me, meaning he said that in Jaz'ah, which was a
00:00:54battle line between the Syrian Democratic Forces
00:00:57As a result of this and previous organizations, he said that anti-tank mines.
00:01:00The residents dismantled them and made them into plates for eating and food.
00:01:03This is a catastrophic statement, by God. He literally told me this.
00:01:07Mines are within reach of everyone, and during
00:01:10military withdrawals of formations from various areas
00:01:13of the military governorate, it is known that the withdrawals were quick
00:01:17and sudden, leaving behind mines that children
00:01:20entered, people whose souls were weak entered, they moved them without
00:01:25this is not only my responsibility, knowledge, they did not destroy them properly, but rather placed them yesterday.
00:01:28We received a report that they are in the vicinity of the Akbesa area in Al-Shaddadi. There are
00:01:32more than four to five mines that children
00:01:36reconcile the tried to steal from inside the Akbesa حرم during the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic
00:01:38Forces, and they randomly threw them into the areas, meaning
00:01:42into the desert areas. One of them killed a child about a month ago. So
00:01:46awareness, then awareness, then awareness. Mines are a real
00:01:50danger in Hasaka governorate. There are no basic services.
00:01:53Medical care is extremely poor. Meaning, a simple wound
00:01:57resulting from a poisoned mine or something like that is capable of killing. And capable of killing
00:02:01a young adult or something like that.
00:02:04Mr. Eid, what I was about to ask you about
00:02:08is that the civil defense is certainly making great efforts, and we, even
00:02:12in the media, cover them fully. And we know that it probably won't be
00:02:15able to monitor this area and clear large areas
00:02:19and so on. Is there anyone providing assistance? Are there
00:02:22international efforts trying to perhaps support
00:02:25the civil
00:02:28flourishes in the defense and support local officials in this context?
00:02:32Yes, as far as I know, there are some organizations that are
00:02:36trying with simple capabilities, capabilities below the required
00:02:39level, trying to help the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster teams and trying
00:02:43to help the Ministry of Defense teams in removing these mines, but
00:02:47the randomness in placing these
00:02:50continues, how can it affect this mines, their lack of
00:02:51sector, organization, their superficiality on the soil levels prevents
00:02:54the situation from being remedied, and day by day we lose and lose more
00:02:57and more. In my opinion, there should be real international
00:03:01solidarity in Hasaka governorate and in all Syrian areas,
00:03:04of course, but Hasaka governorate is now considered the hottest spot in terms
00:03:08of mines. There should be real international solidarity in dealing with this
00:03:11pray Fajr and then go down to issue with more seriousness in no one knows. Our market starts at dealing with
00:03:14securing agricultural areas and valley areas
00:03:18shell 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,
00:03:21the areas that were lines of engagement during previous
00:03:24periods between the Ras al-Ain area or what is known as
00:03:28Peace Spring and the rest of the areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces, these
00:03:31places are completely saturated with mines. They must be dealt
00:03:35with more seriously and with more caution. Farmers are plowing
00:03:38their lands and doing it blindly,
00:03:41in one way or another. Meaning, blindly, they don't know
00:03:45when a mine will explode and they will lose everything. This issue must be taken
00:03:49more seriously. The issue must be looked at as an imminent danger
00:03:52and a real danger. We must reduce the number of
00:03:57while granting them priority in casualties to the highest, to the lowest level, God willing. Umm,
00:04:00I still have a point related to the issue of hospitals
00:04:03or clinics or medical points
00:04:06The journey of walnuts begins with perhaps behind this because, as we mentioned at the beginning,
00:04:08of the reality in it seems that Abu Rasin suffers from this problem. Are there
00:04:10promises from the Ministry of Health, from officials in the region,
00:04:13that, meaning, in the future, citizens will not
00:04:17have to endure walking all these distances if they need
00:04:22it stipulated for a doctor? Yes, we have not actually heard that there
00:04:25are any real promises from the government or from any
00:04:28organization regarding this issue. It's not very
00:04:31difficult. A medical point run by any organization, run
00:04:35by any association, is capable of perhaps saving the life
00:04:39of a person, saving the life of a child, and saving an injured person. We demand that
00:04:42this issue be activated. We demand that the issue of medical points be taken
00:04:46seriously. Today, you don't know where
00:04:48Mardam Bey, from there might be a mine. Meaning, in Al-Shaddadi,
00:04:51the hospital was close, very close, but the delay in the arrival of ambulance
00:04:55machine, and we have many memories teams led to the death of three people directly.
00:04:58Frankly, the medical issue is an issue that should be given
00:05:01great priority. Activating medical points, especially in these areas
00:05:05that were battle lines,
00:05:08Mardam Beys were among and establishing an emergency system, meaning rotating patrols,
00:05:11medical patrols, as is the case in road safety, customs, and so
00:05:14on, is a necessary matter, a desirable
00:05:17matter, and preferred by the residents, and perhaps it will prevent
00:05:20more casualties. Thank you very much for this
00:05:24intervention from Hasaka, my guest journalist Mr. Eid Al-Halil.
00:05:39Owners of tourist and supply bakeries, in particular, demand
00:05:42a review of the recent decisions related to licensing
00:05:46conditions, warning that the new
00:05:49measures may threaten the closure of a number of bakeries
00:05:52and affect the availability of bread and employment opportunities for
00:05:56workers
00:06:00there. Haj Mohammed monitors every detail himself,
00:06:03fearing for his livelihood after 70 years of stability
00:06:07in his oven in Damascus under the weight of what he describes
00:06:10as pressures threatening his source of income. We are special
00:06:14supply ovens. We feel here that we are being fought
00:06:18over our livelihood. You get a violation, the first, the second, the third.
00:06:21Instead of raising the ceiling
00:06:24of the violation, here they are threatening you with closure.
00:06:27Closure means 20 families with their children,
00:06:31with their children, with their families, with their fathers and mothers, all these people
00:06:34will be without food, even though
00:06:38this worker is the responsibility of the state before it is my responsibility. A few days ago,
00:06:41I received a three-day closure and paid 12 million
00:06:45Syrian pounds just to
00:06:48closure. This is my license, it's 70 years old,
00:06:52meaning I wasn't licensed yesterday. If I had serious violations from 70 years ago
00:06:55until now, they would have closed me down 50 years ago.
00:06:59The threat does not stop at Abu Muhammad's bakery. This
00:07:02tourist bakery also faces the risk of closure, but
00:07:06for other reasons, which were new regulatory conditions
00:07:10that threaten its old license and are impossible
00:07:12to implement on the ground, according to its owner. Today,
00:07:16a decision has been issued by the Ministry of Supply and Economy that tourist
00:07:19bakeries must rectify their status with a license of 3,000
00:07:23square meters, and this is unfair to us. Today, we have been here for 40,
00:07:2645 years, and we have families working for
00:07:29us, about 10 workers and their families, and we are five or six young men
00:07:33and their families, and this is unfair to us. And this required area
00:07:36today to meet these specifications is very, very, very
00:07:39high for us, and it is not applicable in Damascus, not even
00:07:43in other places. The Craft Association for Bread Making
00:07:46also emphasizes the urgent need to reconsider those decisions to avoid
00:07:49risks threatening hundreds of bakeries in Damascus
00:07:52and its countryside. So we ask the government to reconsider
00:07:56these decisions because these decisions
00:08:00are unfair to the bakery owner and the people in
00:08:03general. Today, bakeries serve a wide
00:08:06segment of society. Despite what bakery owners describe
00:08:09as pressures, these production lines are still standing
00:08:13until now, amid serious fears of their
00:08:16imminent cessation if solutions are not found. This tightening,
00:08:20which official bodies believe regulates the bread making sector,
00:08:24has a negative impact with some conditions
00:08:27and regulations on hundreds
00:08:30tightening as a restriction that may harm
00:08:33the consumer, the bakery owner, and the families of the workers
00:08:37alike. Hazem Awad, Syria TV,
00:08:40Damascus. The Ministry of Economy
00:08:44and Industry had issued a decision allowing the establishment of tourist
00:08:47bakeries with the aim of developing the bread production sector
00:08:50and providing specialized facilities for the production
00:08:54and sale of various types of bread. The
00:08:56decision allows these bakeries to produce and sell cakes,
00:08:59pastries, and sweets of all kinds, provided
00:09:03that they adopt automated and modern production lines
00:09:07that meet market needs,
00:09:10marketing. The decision specified conditions for the locations
00:09:13of tourist bakeries, the most prominent of which is that they must be located on a main street
00:09:17within cities or in their nearby suburbs, and that they must have
00:09:21a modern architectural design that reflects the brand identity. It also
00:09:25stipulated that the area of the property allocated
00:09:28for the bakery must not be less than 3,000 square meters.
00:09:43So, dear viewers, for more on this topic, we are joined by Mr. Rabie
00:09:47Al-Anisi, Secretary of the Bakers' Association
00:09:51in Damascus and its countryside, my guest from rural Damascus. Welcome, Mr. Rabie, and I hope I
00:09:54pronounced the name correctly.
00:09:56Do you consider these conditions that
00:09:59have been set for bakeries to be normal in your estimation, or are they
00:10:02too strict and might harm this situation
00:10:04in general?
00:10:06عام
00:10:10Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
00:10:14Well, regarding these decisions that have been issued, they are a bit
00:10:18difficult for bakery owners.
00:10:20They are unfair to them. I mean, today, the decisions that are
00:10:24being issued by the Ministry of Economy and Industry regarding
00:10:28bakery owners, that three violations lead to closure,
00:10:31is an unfair decision to bakery owners. We hope
00:10:35and ask the government to reconsider these
00:10:38decisions. Secondly, regarding tourist
00:10:41bakeries, today
00:10:44a committee was formed to establish tourist
00:10:48bakeries. Umm,
00:10:50so this committee
00:10:53was formed to issue new licenses
00:10:56with new specifications. Umm,
00:10:59so the committee issued a decision
00:11:02to allow tourist bakery owners
00:11:06to regularize their situation. Meaning, today, a tourist bakery
00:11:09either operates commercially
00:11:11or
00:11:14sells cakes, bread rolls, and pastries. Umm, it no longer
00:11:18sells tourist bread. If you want to sell tourist bread today, you must comply
00:11:22with the new specifications that have been issued, which means that tourist bread
00:11:25must be produced in a large factory.
00:11:28What about a wide area like the one
00:11:32they stipulated, 3,000 meters? I mean, if it
00:11:35wants to produce tourist bread or if it wants to be limited to cakes
00:11:39and sweets.
00:11:42Or if it wants to be limited to cakes and sweets, it can just adjust its situation and nothing
00:11:46else. So this decision is, well, it's not well
00:11:49thought out, frankly. I mean, don't you think there might be
00:11:53a point of view, I mean, there might be a certain reason, for example, related to the quality
00:11:57of bread, related to price control? Do you think there is any justification
00:12:00for these conditions? I mean, it is really
00:12:04a very large area, and its presence on a
00:12:07main street also raises questions.
00:12:11I mean, today, a tourist bakery with an area of 250 to 300
00:12:14meters is more than enough. Umm, okay.
00:12:18You understand, so the decision was issued for 3,000 meters. 3,000 meters, I
00:12:22don't want to build wedding halls or a mall.
00:12:25I mean, in a sense, it's just a bakery, not
00:12:29a large one. So, I mean, small bakeries, because, I mean, it is clear
00:12:33that these conditions are factory conditions, even
00:12:35that it must have a specific decor that matches the brand
00:12:39identity, modern equipment. What I want to ask you about is that smaller
00:12:43shops or smaller bakeries, do they produce bread with the same
00:12:46health specifications that can be
00:12:49produced through large factories?
00:12:52Of course, of course,
00:12:55they produce bread and it's better than large factories,
00:12:59and better. Hmm. Well, I mean, what
00:13:02umm I want to ask you now about the impact. I mean, now,
00:13:06I don't know, these conditions have come out. We don't know, I mean,
00:13:09perhaps if there is an objection, it might be reviewed or so on. But if its application
00:13:16the workers, the availability of bread, and its prices,
00:13:19perhaps?
00:13:24Well, regarding the impact,
00:13:27I mean, I don't think there
00:13:30will be such spaces in the city of Damascus.
00:13:34I don't think there will be such spaces in the city of Damascus.
00:13:36Umm, I mean,
00:13:40we are talking about a decrease in production volume, perhaps, in Damascus with the closure or
00:13:43cessation of operations of small bakeries.
00:13:46Well, I mean, if today the bakery does not want to adjust its situation, it will
00:13:50close down. So we submitted an objection and grievance through
00:13:53the Craftsmen's Union to the Ministry of Commerce.
00:13:56And so far, it hasn't happened. We submitted
00:13:59an objection and grievance that the decision is unfair. I mean, bakeries that are 50 years old,
00:14:03it's not reasonable for you to come today and tell them to close down. You want to establish
00:14:07new, modern bakeries. You can issue
00:14:11a decision that whoever wants to get a new license, for example, follows the new conditions,
00:14:14and leave the old bakeries to compete. Let there be competition,
00:14:18meaning let small bakeries compete with large ones.
00:14:21Umm, I mean, I wish that, I mean,
00:14:25we had an official perhaps to explain to us what the point of view
00:14:30decision is. Are there other conditions that have been issued today
00:14:33regarding the type of bread, the flour used,
00:14:37for example? I mean, now they are talking about the quality of the machines, for example,
00:14:40but the materials used, are there also other
00:14:43conditions? Uh, among these decisions,
00:14:47shops
00:14:49regarding tourist bakeries, of course, there must be health conditions, there must be
00:14:53dough improvers.
00:15:02Sugar, yeast must be first class, of course. Well, thank you very much, Mr. Rabie Al-Anisi,
00:15:05Secretary of the Bakers' Association in Damascus
00:15:09and its countryside, my guest from rural Damascus, and we hope that your problems will be resolved. And indeed,
00:15:12the most beautiful thing about this segment is the
00:15:16pictures of bread as it moves on this
00:15:20with it.
00:15:29So, dear viewers, we have reached the end of today's Eye of Syria
00:15:32episode. We hope
00:15:35you enjoyed it. Goodbye. The city of Arbin in rural Damascus
00:15:39maintained its position as a destination for walnut traders
00:16:39The Directorate of Social Affairs and Labor in Idlib announced the dispatch
00:16:42of a new convoy of families from displacement camps to their original
00:16:46areas. According to the Directorate, the convoy includes
00:16:49209 families returning to villages
00:16:52and towns in the countryside of Idlib, Hama, Homs, Damascus,
00:16:55and Daraa. This comes within a continuous series of convoys
00:16:59for displaced people as part of the vision of a Syria without
00:17:03camps.
00:17:15The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management also announced the removal of about
00:17:1831,000
00:17:21cubic meters of rubble in the areas of Northern Samaan
00:17:24and Azaz in rural Aleppo. This quantity is
00:17:2751% of the total targeted
00:17:30quantities as part of creating suitable conditions
00:17:33for the return of residents to their areas by
00:17:36removing rubble, opening roads, and rehabilitating damaged
00:17:40sites.
00:17:49The walnut market in the city of Arbin, rural Damascus,
00:17:53maintains its commercial and heritage status, attracting
00:17:56residents and traders from several Syrian governorates, especially with
00:18:00the approach of the season for preparing makdous, during which
00:18:03buying and selling activity
00:18:05market.
00:18:10Here in Arbin, rural Damascus, the day begins
00:18:13to the rhythm of a market with a story spanning
00:18:16decades. Stalls open and various
00:18:20types of walnuts are displayed, and sales activity
00:18:24regains its momentum with the early morning hours.
00:18:27The activity is not limited to the residents of the area,
00:18:31as traders from various Syrian governorates visit
00:18:34the market to buy walnuts and transport them
00:18:37to the markets of their governorates.
00:18:40No one knows how old the market is, 100, 200 years, more or less,
00:18:465:30 in the morning. People
00:18:49the market. Then people from other governorates come here.
00:18:53And we have farmers who
00:18:56the market. We have Chinese, local, and Chilean. Everyone
00:18:59finds what they are looking for.
00:19:01Walnuts in Arbin market
00:19:04are trusted by the locals, who come from various
00:19:07areas, especially with the arrival of the
00:19:11makdous season, as customers move
00:19:14from one vendor to another in search of
00:19:18the quality that suits them and a price that fits their
00:19:21budget.
00:19:23We come to the walnut market during the makdous season. We buy
00:19:27local makdous walnuts from here. The local ones taste better
00:19:30and are better than the Chinese or American ones. And we are used
00:19:33to it. It's an old market, more than 150 years old. We come here
00:19:43harvesting, then they are moved to homes
00:19:47where experienced hands prepare them using
00:19:50traditional methods. A journey that summarizes the story
00:19:54of a crop associated with the local cuisine, and its traditions
00:19:58of preparation have been preserved from generation to generation.
00:20:01Over generations, Arbin's walnut market has maintained
00:20:05its presence and status,
00:20:08remaining a witness to the city's history and an integral
00:20:11part of its popular memory. Dial Bahri,

00:30:41Welcome, dear viewers, to a new episode of RePost, in which we
00:30:45will discuss the most prominent topics that have attracted the attention of social media users
00:30:48during the past
00:30:50hours.
