The Executive Council of the “Autonomous Administration” in northeastern Syria has decided to ban any gatherings or mass or social events across its areas on Sunday and Monday, 7 and 8 December.
The decision also bans the firing of live ammunition and fireworks, according to the statement published by the Administration on its Facebook page on Saturday, 6 December.
The Council attributed the move to the current security conditions, namely the increased activity of “terrorist” cells that, it said, are trying to sow sedition and target the components of society, and to carry out “terrorist” operations by exploiting the anniversary of the fall of the defunct regime. It framed the decision as being taken out of concern for citizens’ safety, and to protect public security and civil peace, in line with the requirements of the public interest.
The statement extended congratulations to the people of northeastern Syria on this occasion, as well as to all the people of Syria. It expressed the hope that “Syria will flourish year after year, move into a phase of prosperity that includes all its peoples, enjoy democracy, pluralism and participation, and that every citizen will live free and dignified within a unified, democratic and decentralized Syria.”
The Autonomous Administration had previously decided to suspend work in the public institutions under its authority on Monday, 8 December, to mark what it described as the “fall of the Baathist regime.”
Public institutions closed on Sunday and Monday
The General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic issued a circular declaring Sunday and Monday, 7 and 8 December, public holidays for state institutions on the occasion of Liberation Day.
According to the circular, which the General Secretariat published on its official channels on 3 December, the provisions of paragraph “c” of Article 43 of the Basic Law for State Employees must be observed with respect to public institutions whose nature of work or circumstances require them to continue operating.
Decree on official holidays
In October, Syria’s transitional president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, issued Decree No. 188 of 2025, defining the official holidays and days on which state employees receive their full salaries under the provisions of the Basic Law.

The battle to topple Assad
On 27 November, Syrians marked the first anniversary of the “Deterring the Aggression” campaign, the 11 day battle that brought down a regime that had ruled Syria for more than 50 years with iron and fire, and capped a 14 year revolution during which hundreds of thousands were killed under bombardment or disappeared in prisons, alongside millions of people displaced inside and outside the country.
The battle lasted 11 days in calendar terms, but was the product of years of preparation and planning, as those who carried out the operations later revealed. It was preceded by even longer years of hit-and-run fighting between the various opposition factions on the one hand, and the Syrian regime and the states and militias that backed it and crossed the borders on sectarian and doctrinal grounds on the other.
The speed of the operations surprised the world, including the very planners and executors, who had expected them to last for months at a minimum. Yet towns, cities and provinces fell one after another like “dominoes,” in a scene that stunned both close observers and distant onlookers.
The battle brought together the efforts of numerous factions that had previously been at odds with each other and had shed one another’s blood in internecine fighting, which claimed the lives of at least hundreds of their fighters.
The first shot in the “Deterring the Aggression” campaign was fired on the western Aleppo countryside front, from the towns of Anjara and Qebtan al-Jabal in the western countryside of Aleppo (northwestern Syria) and the surrounding towns and villages. The operations continued until they reached Damascus and ended with the fall of the Syrian regime on 8 December 2024.
