The Turkish army has banned entry to the Afrin center after they invaded. Civilians trying to return to their homes are being arrested.
With the invaders entering, looting and pillaging has taken hold in Afrin, while the same forces have banned entry to the city. Turkish soldiers and their collaborator gangs hold the entrances and exits of the city and are barring civilians from entering.
Reports say young people who coulndn’t leave Afrin or who wish to come back are forced to choose between two inhumane options, prison and joining the FSA. Many young men are being held on these grounds.
In images the gang members post on social media, blindfolded civilians with their hands tied behind their backs can be seen. These young men detained by Turkish forces are threatened with prison in Azaz or Turkey because they refuse to join the gangs.
The bans, detentions and threats in the city are considered to be geared towards changing the demographic makeup of the city. The Turkish regime has repeatedly stated that they want to settle the refugees in Turkey in Kurdish lands. European Union funds are also being used to this end.
As looting continues in the city, hundreds of thousands of citizens have sought refuge in places around Afrin to avoid violence. The civilians in the Shehba desert live under harsh conditions.
If you refuse? They jail you. Turkish jails are famous for torture.
I read last night that 150,000 of the estimated 700,000 residents in (and around) Efrin were evacuated. The article was not specific about where they were evacuated to. Also read that some had made it to Manbij, and were being helped by the locals there.
Kick Turkey out of NATO and take all their US weapondry and hand it over to the Kurds so this fight is more fair. They should have lit up Erdogan’s plane when they had the chance a couple years back!
Is that the Free Syrian Army, the "Moderate" "Humane" "Rebels" fighting for "Democracy"that the US supports with funding and weapons?
I'm sure the Syrians are dying to volunteer for that noble cause, it is generous of the Turkish NATO Peacekeepers to give them protective escorts to the recruitment offices.
That most likely would be impossible, but I sure as hell would get all nukes we have there out of there immediately. Heck I would have done that after the failed coup attempt, and the ensuing backlash that coup attempt resulted in. But yes, they should be ejected from NATO, pronto.
The FSA is not supported by the USA.
It was one of Obozo’s unicorn army militias.
It is operated by Turkey now, and includes hard core ISIS and al Qaeda elements in it.
The nukes are gone.
Turkey under Erdogan the Islamist is not compatible with NATO.
Either he goes, or Turkey goes out of NATO (eventually).
NATO needs to be gone, period.
So Erdogan is going to conscript every man and old-enough-boy in Afrin (or take them off to a Turkish prison if they refuse) into his cannon-fodder for a total war on Kurds all across northern Syria, in some cases pitting conscripted Kurds against free Kurds. Outrageous.
It is operated by Turkey now, and includes hard core ISIS and al Qaeda elements in it.
That's Great!
So now we can just kill them all, and be done with it!
Tell the Turks, Kurds, Russians and Assad to stay out of the way, and turn loose the AC-130s, MOABs, cruise's and Drones and sterilize these Terrorist scum now.
Then we can return to sending Assad notes demanding he step down and hold free elections.
Best of all, we can send the notes from Washington DC.
Oh good, I hadn't heard that. Not sure how that happened. Perhaps too much information to keep up with everything. 8>)
I feel much better now though, knowing that has transpired. 8>)
