A protest was held in Qamishlo today, with dozens of residents taking part. Participants carried signs calling for solutions to the fuel and electricity crises, improved economic conditions and an end to the suspension of fuel subsidies.

The protesters chanted slogans calling for social justice and improved living standards before the protest turned into a march through the central market.
