The Ashrafiya and Beni Zayd neighborhood councils in Aleppo have founded a commune called Martyr Doctor Şahid Reşîd Cimyan in the Ashrafiya neighborhood.

The commune was inaugurated with the participation of the Ashrafiya and Beni Zayd neighborhood residents.

Following a minute’s silence, Ashrafiya and Beni Zayd Council Co-chair Ehmed Cafer addressed the crowd, stating that the commune will help the people get more organized.

Ehmed Cafer said; “The conflict in Syria has torn the people apart. We as councils and communes have been trying to bring the people together again and help them get over the crisis.”

Cafer called for unity among residents of the two neighborhoods for the solution of the problems.

45-year-old doctor Şahid Reşîd Cimyan fell a martyr in the attacks of the Turkish-allied mercenaries against Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood on 6 September 2016.
