Large parts of the country\u2019s north and east are governed by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), whose institutions operate under challenging economic circumstances shaped by years of conflict, displacement, and infrastructure damage. Local authorities have repeatedly stressed the importance of stable trade channels and access to industrial materials for rebuilding essential services in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Saad al-Yaziji<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 A U.S. Congressman has called on his country\u2019s administration to remove export restrictions on Syria, urging swift action to implement a recent presidential order aimed at easing economic barriers.
