Teacher Adam Zein Abdel Banat, the head of the Gireida teachers\u2019 union, said the locality commissioner issued a decision whereby he imposes SDG 50 ($8.7) on each teacher\u2019s salary, SDG 20 ($3.5) on each household, and SDG 10 ($1.8) is deducted from each food card of the displaced people for three months. \u201cThis decision was handed over to him, to the heads of districts in Gireida town, the camp Sheikhs, and the payroll office,\u201d Banat told Radio Dabanga. The office deducted SDG 100 ($17.4) from the salary of each teacher in June and July. The teacher reported that his union issued a statement on Thursday in which it rejected the commissioner\u2019s decision. The statement pointed out that the city\u2019s protection and the buying of weapons are the responsibilities of the state, and not of the teachers and displaced people.
