The transitional Syrian government has continued to prevent fuel supplies from reaching Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo, despite a reported agreement to open three roads leading to these areas, according to the Kurdish news agency ANHA. The ongoing blockade, which has persisted through the reporting window ending at 8:38 PM UTC on October 12th, 2025, impacts the two affected neighborhoods. The Kurdish news agency ANHA reported on the continued denial of fuel supplies throughout the reporting period. This development follows earlier reports on October 12th, 2025, regarding an agreement intended to ease access to these neighborhoods. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad issued a decree on October 12th, 2025, prohibiting government officials from new investments and requiring declarations of existing ones, according to Syria TV. This decree aimed to deter foreign investor competition and separate private interests from public responsibilities, with meetings between officials and investors now mandated to occur in government offices. The move was part of an effort to create a more transparent investment environment and improve market fairness. The decree also mandates that government officials with existing investments must declare them to the government. Meetings between officials and investors are now required to occur in government offices.
