Afrinpost – Special
Numerous stories and narratives tell the tragedies of the indigenous people in the occupied Kurdish Afrin region in northern Syria, done by of settlers with gunmen affiliated with the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood organization, may start with theft and do not end with the seizure of the homes of the Kurds or their properties and trees such as olive in particular.
In this context, the citizen “Bishwaz” from the people of Rajo district, in his interview with “Afrinpost” that he was had a situation he described as the tragic irony, during the olive season last November, made him figure out more when filing a complaint against the settlers.
“Bishwaz” added: During the olive season, I went to my land in the vicinity of Raju, to be surprised by about fifteen settlers with their women who were harvesting from my trees, and I know that settlers are mostly armed, especially since the theft takes place in daylight, so I decided to avoid getting involved with them and head to the police headquarters in Raju.
Following: “I went to them, and I brought a patrol of armed men with me to my field, and the militia of the police militia came from the eastern region, meaning that they are from the Ahrar Al-Sharqia militants within the police militia, where each militia has a group of militants within it,” saying: “After our arrival to the land, It was sudden and catastrophic.
He went on: “I saw only one of the gunmen who went to the police heading to an old settler woman, and he said to her: (Mother, had anyone talked to you anything), it was with the accent of the people of the eastern region.
“Bishwaz” continues his speech, saying: “I felt a cold glass of water at that time was poured over my head. The gunman that I brought to help is the son of the woman who steals my olives and in front of my eyes.” Then I realized that if I left the complaint filed against them safely, it would be the most I could get.
“Bishwaz” indicated that, after the gunmen got acquainted with the thieves, he was subjected to a lecture on morals and patriotism by the gunmen! That Afrini people should help them and support them not to complain about them .
