Shaddadi Intellectuals Demand Swift Return of Displaced Persons
Growing Frustration Among Shaddadi Intellectuals
In the heart of the city of Shaddadi, voices grow louder as intellectuals stand united against the Syrian transitional government’s procrastination. They urge for the swift return of internally displaced persons (IDPs), disheartened by unfulfilled promises and mounting delays.
Efforts from the Autonomous Administration
The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria has made persistent efforts to facilitate the return of displaced Syrians. Organized flights from al-Hol and al-Arisha camps have been emblematic of their commitment. However, despite these ventures, the return process remains stalled due to barriers set by the transitional government in Damascus, leaving many yearning for home.
The Unyielding Challenge of Occupied Territories
Intellectuals like Mahdi Al-Daghim express concern over significant obstacles, particularly in occupied areas like Afrin and Serekaniye. The expected return of more than half a million displaced individuals remains unrealized, stirring a deep sense of injustice among the residents of Shaddadi. The shadow of resistance looms large over these territories.
Humanitarian Concerns and the Call for Action
Fadel Al-Ahmad voices concerns over increased violations by the Turkish occupation and affiliated factions, notably impacting women. Such acts, compounded by international silence, hinder progress towards a safer, more peaceful Syria. Al-Ahmad warns of the political leverage Turkey seeks to gain from the displaced, urging a reevaluation of international stances.
The Path Forward for Peace
In a heartfelt plea, Shaddadi intellectuals call upon the transitional government to honor its commitments. Real peace in Syria, they argue, hinges not only on bureaucratic decisions but on genuine collaboration among all Syrian communities, guided by mutual respect and understanding.
As stated in وكالة هاوار للأنباء, the voices from Shaddadi reflect broader frustrations simmering across Syrian communities, emphasizing the urgent need for change. The world’s gaze should shift towards empowering Syrian initiatives for the safe return of their displaced citizens.
