Report about the situation of the military vehicles in the wilaya

After investigation, tracking and review of some of the issues in the sector of military vehicles, it has become clear to us that there is clear nepotism and administrative corruption in this sector, which requires investigation and accountability amid the conspicuousness of administrative corruption.

The official for military vehicles in the wilaya is Abu Jamal from Kafr Hamra.

The vehicles are divided into a number of departments:

1. Tel Jijan department:

The amir of this department is Abu Hamza Tel Jijan, whose brother is Abu Jamal, the official for the vehicles.

2. The gasoline department in al-Bab:

The amir of this department is Abu Shahid, who is also Abu Jamal’s brother.

3. The repairman department:

The department’s amir is Abu Jarah, who is a cousin of Abu Jamal.

4. The heavy vehicle department (packer trucks):

The department’s amir is Abu al-Izz, from Kafr Hamra.

5. Baza’a (Mazout) department:

The department’s amir is Abu Ahmad al-Ansari, who is a cousin of Abu Jamal.

6. Muslima department:

Abu Ali Bakur: he is not a relative of Abu Jamal.

7. The official responsible for car modification:

Abu Ahmad al-Aliyat: a cousin of Abu Jamal.

8. The Military Vehicles’ vehicle wash place at the Hazwan intersection.

Its workers are of the general populace. The official responsible for them is Abu Ahmad, who is a cousin of Abu Jamal and also of the general populace.

Note that the number of brothers in the military vehicles sector of the wilaya is around 45 brothers. Despite this, we find that all the amirs of the departments, with the exception of the Muslima department, are from Kafr Hamra and relatives of the brother Abu Jamal. Therefore, we send this report t you, dear brother, so you can direct us as you consider appropriate.

And God is the one behind the intention.
