Al-Meslet also visited the newly established industrial zone in the town of Al-Raie, calling on the communities and businessmen to invest in this zone which has good infrastructure.
Al-Meslet and member of the political committee Badr Jamous visited the local council in the town of Al-Bab where he met with local dignitaries in the cultural center. They stressed the necessity of representing the city in the SOC as the umbrella representing the revolution and its forces. They also discussed the administrative and living conditions in the town, as they ascertained the council’s work and service projects.
The SOC’s delegation also visited Al-Ma’ali University, which is licensed by the Syrian Interim Government, stressing the support of educational institutions in the liberated areas.
The delegation also met with administrators and students at Al-Furqan Institute in the town of Baza’a in rural Aleppo, commending the work of the institute from which more than 100 students have graduated after learning the holy Quran by heart.

The SOC’s delegation had breakfast with a family that has lost three of its members since the start of the revolution. Al-Meslet said: “We had breakfast today with a blessed family and a great mother, Mrs. Aisha Kamiyan, who sacrificed three of her sons for the sake of the revolution and is raising her grandchildren with patience and contentment. Two of her late sons were volunteers with the Civil Defense, may Allah reward them the highest place in Paradise.”
The SOC has recently stepped its visits to the liberated areas in implementation of the reform plan, which aims to ensure real and adequate representation of the Syrian people.
