Border Revenue Flows to Damascus
Revenues from the Simalka crossing on Syria's border with Iraq began flowing to the state treasury on June 1, 2026, according to the deputy governor of Hasakah province. The change places one of the northeast's main commercial gateways under central fiscal management for the first time.
The deputy governor, who also serves as a spokesperson for the presidential team, described the step as part of a broader move toward unified management of institutions and border crossings across the province.
Agricultural Bodies Begin Merging
The director of agriculture in Hasakah met a representative of the region's existing agricultural authority to set out a plan for merging parallel agricultural institutions and unifying their work. Officials identified consolidation of the Agriculture Directorate as the first step in the process.
The talks covered priorities and standards for bringing the two structures together, part of a wider effort to fold the northeast's separate administrative bodies into national institutions.
Power Improves in Qamishli
The city of Qamishli is seeing better electricity supply for the first time in many years, the deputy governor said. Maintenance work has reached roughly 60 percent of the transformers and electrical networks across the governorate.
Restored supply and network repairs are among the most immediate changes residents can feel, after years of degraded service in the province.
Security and Schools Folded In
Interviews to absorb local security personnel into Syria's internal security institutions have begun, covering more than 9,000 members previously cited for integration. Officials framed the move as part of unifying the province's institutions under the state.
In education, more than 100 dismissed teachers and professors are being reinstated, and the deputy governor called the current academic year a key stage in integrating schools, noting general examinations had previously run in only seven centers.
Toward Unified Management
Taken together, the revenue transfer, institutional mergers and infrastructure repairs mark a gradual absorption of Hasakah's separate administration into Syria's central system. Border income, agriculture, power and schooling are being brought under shared management on overlapping timelines.
