DeirEzzor24 exclusive report
A special source explained to DeirEzzor24 Network the reason for the reservation crisis at the bus departure center in Deir Ezzor Governorate, which forces the traveler to book at least a full week in advance.
The source said that the reason for the crisis is that most transportation companies in Deir Ezzor Governorate have shifted to work on transporting Shiite visitors from Damascus Governorate to the city of Albukamal or completing trips to inside Iraq, where Shiite pilgrims flock from Lebanon and Sayyida Zeinab towards Karbala, Iraq.
It is worth noting that these days coincide with the anniversary of the killing of “Al-Hussein” in the Shiite belief, an anniversary that the Shiite sect in Iraq commemorates with rituals that last for days.
