Popular Boycott Greets Al-Shara's Visit to Deir ez-Zor

A visit by al-Shara to Deir ez-Zor has been met with widespread public boycotts, with attendance limited to a handful of ministers, photographers, and security personnel who were part of the official delegation.

The boycott has gained significant traction across social media platforms. Residents of Deir ez-Zor have leveled accusations against al-Shara, claiming he acquiesced to Turkey's deliberate flooding of the region as punishment against Syrian farmers who refused to sell their wheat production to Turkish buyers.

The allegations underscore rising tensions over water management and agricultural commerce in the border region, with local communities expressing frustration over what they view as complicity in actions harming their livelihoods.
