The Stabilization Unit (SSU) organized the first community dialogue session in Al-Shuyukh District, in cooperation with the administration of the Ayn al-Arab Region, as part of the Community Participation Project, supported by Al Rashad Program and funded by the U.S. Department of State.

The session was attended by Nour al-Din Al-Baba, Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior; Ibrahim Muslim, Head of the Ayn al-Arab Region; Shawak Assaf, Member of the People’s Assembly; as well as representatives of the Internal Security and Public Security forces, local dignitaries, community representatives, and civil society actors.

Participants discussed key local issues and needs, particularly strengthening security and social peace, improving public services, addressing challenges facing local residents, and listening to their demands and proposals.

The session is part of a series of community dialogue workshops implemented by the Stabilization Unit in Sheikh Maqsoud, Al-Ashrafieh, Al-Shuyukh, and Afrin, with the aim of engaging local communities in identifying their priorities and strengthening community partnerships.
