|| Situation in the City and Countryside ||
¤ Hama City:
Starting in the morning, security forces and regime troops were seen moving around the city. A military convoy of two pick-ups and an armored vehicle with fully munition forces was seen moving toward al-Bayad and al-Jalaa, and then to al-Shaikh Anbar. The forces arrested a number of young men. Also, BMP tanks were seen going toward al-Mazareb area.
In al-Qusour neighborhood, security forces deployed near Mahmoud al-Shaqfe Mosque and the industrial area. At around 10 a.m., regime forces with three armored vehicles were seen on al-Marabet Street, which was closed off for a while.
Security forces raided Tareeq Halab neighborhood and arrested some people. They forced one man to hand himself over after threatening to arrest his mother. Gharb al-Mashtal neighborhood was also raided by regime troops.
In the evening, security forces were seen in a number of areas, including al-Karameh neighborhood, where two people were arrested.
On a daily basis, regime forces drive through the city, blasting pro-regime songs in their cars.
Economic Report for Hama City:
Prices in Hama are rising as the month of Ramadan approached, as the exchange rate between the Syrian Pound and the US Dollar continues to rise as well. People are trying to purchase as many things as they can before things become unaffordable.
Some items disappear from the market for a few days, and are remarkably more expensive when they're available again. Regime forces continue to steal the cars of Hama's residents for no reason, and loot their houses during their rads.
The market closed today with a SYP/USD exchange rate of 205 for selling, and 200 for purchase. One gram of 21 carat gold cost 7,100 SYP.
