MANBIJ- AKP authorities in Turkey cut off Euphrates River water from Tishrin Dam, consequently, ceasing the dam from generating electricity, and that resulted in depriving people from power.
People in North of Syria particularly in Kobanî canton and Manbij are suffering from cutting off the electricity as the Turkish government cut off Euphrates water which reduced water level in Tishrin Dam Lake, and therefore, the power cut off on many North Syria areas.
Since Friday night, the power totally has been cut off after ceasing Tishrin Dam from generating electricity. Soon, the management of Tishrin Dam released a statement and made the reasons of cutting off the electricity clear.
The statement contains the following:
“Due to the lack of water flowing from Turkey, and level of Tishrin Dam Lake lowering to minimum levels that could allow the station to work and generate, the Tishrin Dam station would be ceasing electricity generation starting from Thursday, 23 February till water flow and level in Tishrin Lake permits operating the generators”.
The administrative in services committee in Democratic Civil Administration in Manbij Muhammad Rasho said that they would insure fuel for people to operate generators in the city and neighboring villages to avoid the problem of cutting off, and Muhammad added “Turkey violated the international conventions of water and rivers energy by cutting off Euphrates water”.
The Turkish government cut off Euphrates Dam water many times from Syrian lands and that in the context of her battels and aggression against Syrian people.
D.H
The article does not make sense. For water to be cut off, it must be impounded in upstream reservoirs. Once those impoundments are at capacity, the water must be released.
The action does not seem to be sustainable
So like... where is Turkey putting all the water?
He’s not foiled yet. If US doesn’t prevail on him to stay away from Manbij he will take Manbij. It may be very expensive to do but he will do it. From here it looks like we lose either way if he makes the assault. We have to physically stop the Turks which is would be a problem for NATO or we would lose a so far reliable ally. It’s a problem when one ally attacks another ally. Turkiye has legitimate grievance against he YPG in that YPG at least wass the Communist Kurdish faction as the Iraqi
Kurdistani” Kurds were antiCommunist. Overall, though, both factions are Moslem and the YPG has showed its fangs, if only a little, to the Christians and Azeris.
They could just bomb the damn on the ground or from the air. Euphrates runs through Iraq too.
“Erdogan’s agenda has been foiled by his own actions”.
Erdogan thinks he is the return of Suleiman the Great...
Looking at Google maps, there appears to be other outlets for water flow on the Turkish side. There is a dam just above the Syrian border that is probably releasing water slowly. Not allowing the Tishan Dam to get enough water to operate.
In looking at Google maps, it appears there is a border wall between the two countries.

If it causes great hardship on innocent Syrians, I agree.
I flashed on the same thing when I heard it, too.
“Suleiman the Magnificent” was a ruler of Ottoman Empire who died in September 6, 1566.
A famous earlier Muslim leader was the Kurdish officer Saladin (Salah Ed-Din) who overcame the Christians in Jerusalem. He died on on March 4, 1193.
Some have confused the two rulers.
There was an odd ceremony that allowed removal of Suleyman Shah remains to be removed from Northern Syria. It took place about 2 years ago if I remember correctly. Turks were allowed to send a force to the grave site in Syria and remove the remains.

Now, is that confusing? There is another one that is similar that was reported found in Szigetvar, Hungary
in upstream reservoir
