Recent events in Syria have heightened tensions in the region. Protests for autonomy, sparked by Gazal Gazal's call, have led to clashes in Latakia and surrounding areas.

In Latakia, clashes between security forces and protesters have escalated. Initial reports indicate that the death toll has risen to 3, with around 60 injured. This situation complicates the political landscape in Syria.

The Central Bank of Syria announced the introduction of new banknotes. This change aims to strengthen confidence in national institutions. Old and new banknotes will be used together for 90 days.

The escalation of conflicts in Syria has drawn the attention of international actors. The European Union condemned the violence against civilians in Syria and emphasized the need for respect for international law.

Developments in Syria could have significant implications not only for the region but for the entire world. The interventionist policies of imperialist powers threaten peace and stability in Syria.
