Afrinpost – Follow-up
The security chaos in the occupied Kurdish Afrin region has continued since the application of the Turkish military occupation in March 2018, amid a state of intense competition between Islamic militias affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, over the theft and the right to seize the properties of the indigenous population, which leads them to fight among themselves.
The agency “North Press” reported on the outbreak of clashes yesterday, Wednesday, between the militia of “Sultan Muhammad al-Fateh” and a settler called “Abu Shadi” in the village of Ma’amala / Ushaghi Ma’mla of Raju district.
It noted that the clashes happened after a dispute related to the seizure of firewood (it appears that the settler family had cut it from one of the olive fields belonging to the displaced Kurds), where militia gunmen expelled the family of the settler “Abu Shadi” from the village.
The property of Kurdish displaced persons, including homes, real estate, and olive trees, has long caused disputes between armed men among themselves or between different militias, or between armed men and settlers.
Where each of them seeks to seize the largest amount of stolen materials or properties that were forcibly abandoned by its people due to the Turkish invasion accompanied by militias affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, who call themselves several names such as (the National Army, the Free Army, Al-Nusra, and others).
