Dhahiriya Deputy Mayor Amjad Al-Hawarin from the Protest Tent: Calling for the Reopening of Dhahiriya–Ramadin Street and an End to the Suffering of Merchants and Residents
From the protest tent, Dhahiriya Deputy Mayor Mr. Amjad Al-Hawarin renewed the call for the reopening of Dhahiriya–Ramadin Street, emphasizing the severe economic and social consequences of its closure by the Israeli occupation forces and the demolition of more than 300 commercial shops, which have deprived thousands of families in Dhahiriya and surrounding areas of their sources of income.
Al-Hawarin stressed that the street is not merely a passageway, but a vital artery for Dhahiriya’s economy and commercial activity. Its continued closure has inflicted substantial losses on merchants and negatively affected the livelihoods of residents and families who depend on commercial activity in the area.
He explained that the municipality has pursued efforts to address the issue through the relevant institutions and is also seeking legal avenues to achieve a positive outcome and restore access to the street. He noted that alternative roads provide only temporary relief and cannot replace the importance of the southern entrance and its role in sustaining the city’s economic life.
Al-Hawarin expressed his appreciation to the young people and the committee working on this initiative, emphasizing that solidarity among residents, merchants, and all community members is essential to protecting the public interest and the interests of the city.
He concluded by expressing hope that the relevant authorities would respond positively to these efforts and reopen the street, restoring commercial movement and economic life to Dhahiriya and the surrounding communities.
