In a different context, a group of activists started today their media campaign titles”For Al Husaeneyya Camp, for the return, together our voice will be stronger.”The campaign was launched through social media to demand the return of Al Husayneyya residents to their camp. The activists said that the campaign will continue for several days and will start by sending a united letter to the pages and websites of the Syrian Government and to a number of officials, namely the Syrian President in addition to the Syrian Channels and radio stations.
The letter came under the title “A Letter from the Residents of Al Husayeneyya town or Camp, Frequent promises and we didn’t return.”The activists condemned the promises of the Syrian officials about the return of the residents to their camp; the last promise was by the minister of the national reconciliation on an interview with the Syrian NewsTV, and said that the residents of Al Husayneyya will be in their houses in the first three months of 2015.
The activists added:”the premises came one by one that the return time is close, the return is in days…etc, even we saw that the actual infrastructure maintenance at Al Husayeneyya and then they estimated the budget with a billion of Syrian Lira, while most works were accomplished”
The activist ended saying:”we are fed up of fake promises each time, we don’t want promises, we want to know if they would allow us to go back or not, the answer with No is better that believing in fake promises”
It is mentioned that the Syrian Regular Army still prevents and stalls the return of Al Husayneyya camp residents in Damascus Suburb for 563 days despite its full control over the camp since 17th of October 2013. The regular army checkpoints close the entrances of the camp and prevent the residents to return back, where the displaced residents suffer of severe living crises and they were distributed to the neighboring areas. Moreover, they had to rent houses with high costs which increased their economic burdens in light of the loss of financial resources and the spread of unemployment due to the ongoing war in Syria.Â
