Just the day before yesterday, Hama was captured, and the city's traffic police are already operating normally.
The rebels are making a significant effort to show that life in Hama has returned to normal in the areas they have captured / liberated.
For the same reason, they announced that foreign consulates and embassies can continue operating without interference.
They reiterated this today, even after today's unusual incident involving UN forces (the issued an official statement declaring that international institutions must not be harmed - AA).
It is important for them to show that they can create a "new and improved Syria" that functions like any other state, in contrast to the corrupt and totalitarian state governed by the Ba'ath Party over the last 61 years, 54 of which were under the rule of the Assad family (first Hafez al-Assad, and later his son Bashar).

On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. Ukrainian forces have since put up a strong resistance to the Russian troops amid the war that has left hundreds of Ukrainian civilians, including children, dead, according to the United Nations. Ukrainian and international officials have accused Russia of targeting civilian populations with shelling and bombardments. The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app.
