Attack on the Guardians of the Hamano Housing District... and the Surprise... The Arrest Sparks Widespread Discontent Among Residents
An unprecedented incident occurred in the Hamano Housing District in Aleppo, where the neighborhood's guardians, Jumaa Hamza and Osama Al-Aqda, were assaulted by several owners of electric generators. Local sources reported that after the attack, the guardians immediately went to the Hanano police station to file an official complaint against the assailants, but the surprise was that the security authorities instead detained them, rather than listening to their complaint, which sparked a wave of anger and discontent among the residents.
The source explained that the owners of generators in the area wield extensive influence that dates back to the Assad regime era, giving them significant control and influence. This reflects a situation of overlap between economic and political power in the region. This reality has led to escalating resentment among the residents, especially given the repeated cases of assault on citizens and the lack of fair law enforcement.
This incident comes amid increasing popular demands for the state's authority to be reasserted and justice to be implemented, at a time when residents are suffering from deteriorating electricity services and the authorities' neglect of their demands to improve living conditions. Observers confirm that current media coverage and the existing political environment further complicate the situation, while influential figures prevent their accountability, thereby exacerbating anger and threatening the security and stability of the area.
Meanwhile, activists and local community leaders are calling for a re-evaluation of how such incidents are handled. The residents emphasize that the solution lies in enforcing the law, ending the policy of impunity, and curbing the influence of vested interests at the expense of the people's interests, in order to ensure justice and preserve civil peace in the region.
