The Assad regime and its loyalists left behind a heavy legacy of problems that will lead to serious disputes and problems as long as there is no strict law that punishes the oppressor and does justice to the oppressed.
There are so many problems that we cannot list them in a few sentences. Still, the most significant of which is the theft of properties from the locals and their management by loyalists of the Assad regime and Iranian-backed militias during their control of Deir Ezzor.
In this context, a local from Deir Ezzor who was wanted by the Assad regime and displaced from the city of Deir Ezzor said in a post he published in one of the groups on the Facebook application:
“I left my house in Al-Qusour neighborhood in the city of Deir Ezzor in 2013, forced to leave it after the Air Force Intelligence pursued me, and during the following years I received news that people from the Assad regime seized my house, only to be surprised today, after the fall of the regime, that my house was sold 3 consecutive times to people I do not know and without my knowledge.”
He added, “I have all the documents proving my ownership of the house, and I will resort to the law to recover my house, and if the law does not do me justice, I will recover it by force.”
Many incidents similar to this man’s story began to be circulated in Deir Ezzor after the regime’s downfall, which portends major disputes unless a law restores rights to their owners.
