Protests in Hasakah and Floods in Syria

Wide protests have erupted in Hasakah province following the appointment of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) leader Nur al-Din Ahmad as governor. This decision was not accepted by the Arab tribes, despite the agreement between Damascus and the SDF. Meanwhile, three people, including a Syrian Red Crescent volunteer, died as a result of floods that hit northern and western Syria after heavy rains. This also led to the displacement of dozens of families from the affected areas, according to official media reports on Sunday. Arab and tribal sources in Hasakah have listed the reasons that prompted the Arab component in Hasakah to object to the appointment of the new governor, based on his history as a military and security commander in the SDF.
