Syria Faces Protests Over Fuel Prices
Popular protests are escalating in various regions of Syria in opposition to the decision to increase fuel prices, which has led to higher costs for transportation and basic commodities, as well as a rise in economic and living dissatisfaction. Demonstrations and roadblocks with burning tires have taken place in the city of Al-Bab, Jarabulus, and Azaz in Aleppo, as well as in towns and districts across Idlib and Raqqa provinces, in protest against the new pricing. This has resulted in the closure of the Al-Bukamal border crossing and protests in sensitive areas such as Tel Tamr and Tel Hmis. The Ministry of Energy announced that the price hikes are temporary and linked to global markets, but anger continues to grow due to the deterioration of purchasing power and rising costs.
