Salqeen’s Security Force Says It’s Committed to Fight Smuggling

The residents of Salqeen in Idlib province have recently suffered from high prices on basic commodities like meat and fuel. The high prices are the result of smuggling. Smugglers ship cattle, tobacco and diesel to Turkey since they can get better prices there than in Syria. Prices for these items have skyrocketed, putting them out of reach of much of Salqeen’s population.
The opposition-led security force, which was formed in late July, says it is committed to ending smuggling and enforcing security, despite difficulties, such as insufficient funding.
Locals demand that the law be equally applied to everyone.
