Sources from the occupied Kurdish region of Afrin in northern Syria reported that the Muslim Brotherhood militia gunmen occupying the villages of “Semalka – Shorba – Gamruk” of the area of “Mobata / Maabatli”, stole electricity generators in those villages.
In the context, gunmen stole electrical transformers from the center of “Semalka” village, in addition to stealing electrical cables that connect the electric meter to the houses.
In the village of “Shorba”, armed men stole the electrical transformer designated for the water well that fed the five villages surrounding the village of Shorba. Thus, the theft caused electricity and water cuts at the same time, and the militants stole an electrical transformer intended to supply the village with electricity.
The armed men occupying the village of “Gamrouk” also stole the electrical transformer in the center of the village, along with the electricity cables connecting the meter and the houses.
The theft of generators and cables falls within the framework of destroying the infrastructure and damaging the service sector, as well as obtaining money, as incidents of theft of generators and cables are repeated from time to time.
The theft is not limited to militants, but is carried out by employees within the occupation institutions as well. Last June, five workers within the so-called (Afrin Local Council) affiliated with the occupation, dismantled old cables from wooden poles in the villages of Burj Abdalo, Ghazawiya, Shadira and Iska) and the surrounding villages, and they claimed that this was a prelude to the installation of Turkish lines.
The theft of electricity transformers was also monitored in the following villages (Kfarshal – Maratea – Shekhorzieh – Qouta – Kutana – Qizilbasha – Jama – Maydan Akbis – Khililka – Bablet – Koukba – Qorba – Qajuma – Korda – Faqira) and other villages, and they were sold to the Afrin Electricity Company. .
