During the visits, the commune members raised the daily challenges they face and discussed activating and strengthening the commune committees, improving training, facilitating the return of IDPs to their homes, and addressing the political situation in North and East Syria and Syria in general.

Avin Sweid emphasized the need for the communes' administrative system and vision to be more than just administrative. She stressed the importance of the communes informing residents of their responsibilities so they can collectively protect their values ​​and receive training on various topics.

Ilham Ahmed highlighted the importance of communes, explaining that residents can protect themselves from the authorities through these structures. She stressed the need to understand the role of communes, stating that the system they intend to implement is based on them. She said, "The commune's doors should be open to residents around the clock, bringing them together.
