Kassioun Editorial 1140: Peacefulness is the Demands’ Shield and Guarantee

The strength of any popular movement lies in its collectivism and its ability to organize itself, and the peacefulness of any popular movement is always its most important and strongest protective shield, and one of the most important guarantees of it reaching its final goals.

Kassioun Editorial 1138: Yet it Continues!

Syria-related events and developments are moving fast inside Syria and in its surroundings, near and far. This is connected to several factors, the most important of which on the external level is the continued shift in the international balance of power against American and Zionist interests, in parallel with the approaching deadlines that Astana is working on and the increased coordination between Astana and major Arab countries. On the internal level, there is the continuation and gradual expansion of the new wave of popular movement.

Kassioun Editorial 1137: The People’s Power in the Regions, How and When?

The new wave of the popular movement in Syria is still in its infancy, and possibilities are still open before it – the positive and the negative ones. This is the nature of things. That the movement develops peacefully and with just and rational slogans that bring together the plundered who are 90% of the population, this does not serve extremists in either the regime or the opposition. It also does not serve them that the movement gets rid of the processes of copying and pasting forms and slogans dating back to 2011. As such, those extremists encourage the preservation of those slogans and forms and highlight them.

The Syrian atmosphere is in a state of pent-up anger accompanied by cautious anticipation. People’s living conditions have reached unbearable limits. Additionally, the processes of lifting subsidies and the state’s withdrawal from playing any social role are in full swing, and even witnessed a new shift forward after what happened in the People’s Assembly recently, where the official price hikes witnessed a new and comprehensive wave, while the meager wages remained the same.

Kassioun Editorial 1133: Neither the Government Governs nor the People’s Assembly Legislates!

The tension and uproar that took place last week about the exchange rate, the living situation, the extraordinary session of the People’s Assembly, and the government’s behavior during it, reflect a deep crisis whose roots go back to 2005. That year implementation of liberal policies began under the name of the “social market economy”, in accordance with the recommendations and demands of the IMF and the World Bank. This continues to this day and with greater acceleration than ever before.

Kassioun Editorial 1131: In Syria, Silencing with Hunger!

In July 2021, the minimum wage in Syria was increased to 71,000 Syrian pounds (SYP). Now, two years later, it has reached 93,000 SYP. Let’s look at this “increase” from the perspective of the SYP’s purchasing power and the exchange rate against the dollar.
