• Jamal al-Hassani, a displaced man from the Arab Tay tribe, affirmed that returning to occupied Afrin “will only be with dignity and honor.” He said: “We are the owners of the land, and we paid a heavy price to liberate it.

• The third Urkesh Festival will launch tomorrow in the city of Hasakah under the slogan “With communal culture, the voices and melodies of peoples live.” The event will see wide participation from groups across North and East Syria and beyond. (Photos and video attached)

• A year has passed since the collapse of the Baathist regime following the launch of the “Deterrence of Aggression” campaign, during which Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and southern factions took control of most of the country, reaching the outskirts of Damascus, while the Syrian Democratic Forces repelled Turkish expansion attempts. After the regime’s fall, the country was largely destroyed as Israel struck the majority of Syria’s military arsenal to prevent it from falling into any party’s hands, and advanced southward to establish a buffer zone amid the complete absence of a unified Syrian military institution.

• The crisis of the Wool and Carpet Company in Hama reflects a broader crisis in the production sector under the transitional government in Syria. Workers suffer from delayed salaries, rising transportation costs, and being burdened with additional administrative duties, which drains them and pushes skilled workers to resign. This highlights the urgent need to reform economic and administrative policies to ensure production continuity and protect workers’ rights. (Photos and video attached)

• With the continued deterioration of living conditions and rising cost of living, many families in the city of al-Shaddadi and its countryside find themselves with limited options to secure daily necessities, including clothing.

• As 8 December 2025 arrives, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham—designated as a terrorist organization—marks its first year ruling Damascus, following the fall of the Baathist regime after a murky regional-international deal.

• Observers say that Syria faces major challenges, including security problems and Turkish ambitions. Meanwhile, the risk of a renewed war between Israel and Hezbollah remains, and the world increasingly recognizes that the Muslim Brotherhood is an organization that exploits chaos rather than a reformist movement.
