Syria Protests Reach Largest Since Bashar Fall
Syria, especially in the city of Qamishli and other areas, has experienced widespread protests against the government's decision to raise fuel prices. The demonstrations resulted in gatherings of hundreds holding signs expressing their rejection of policies of starvation and price hikes. Specifically, the prices of fuel have increased by 40%, reaching 175 Syrian pounds for diesel, and by 26% for gasoline, due to the global rise in oil prices caused by the war in the Middle East and the impact of American and Israeli strikes on Iran. The protests included chants emphasizing that oil belongs to the people. These protests are part of a broader wave of demonstrations that have taken place across the country since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, amid ongoing economic crises, conflicts, and deteriorating political conditions.
