Afrinpost – Special
The correspondent of “Afrinpost” at the center of the occupied Kurdish region of Afrin in northern Syria reported that two settlers from the city of “Harasta” in Eastern Ghouta in the Damascus countryside, forced the citizen “Rashid Muhammad” from the village of “Qarmatlaq” of the Shih / Sheikh al-Hadid sub-district, to sign two rental contracts for two apartments he owns for a period of three months.
The employee of the local council of the occupation, who is complicit with the settlers, doubled the lease period to six months. As for the amount agreed upon as a rent allowance, the settlers did not pay any amount. Rather, the rent allowance remained merely recorded in the rent records, as the two apartments are located near the Maysaloon school.
In a related context, the “Afrinpost” correspondent reported that a settler from “Eastern Ghouta” refuses to pay the rent from a store that was seized from his Kurdish citizen, Amina Muhammad, who is a widow from the village of Ain al-Hajar. The shop is in the Ashrafieh neighborhood, near the water center, and the settler claims that the shop belongs to the party and that it is a booty, in order to avoid paying rent dues.
The correspondent of “Afrinpost” stated that the so-called “Malik Osu”, who works in the field of real estate brokerage for the benefit of settlers, has leased about ten houses and more than fifteen stores in the Ashrafieh neighborhood on the “Microbus Line” road near Hammadi Bakery, and from that he makes about three thousands dollars a month.
Recently, the so-called “Malik” sold a shop to a settler for a sum of one thousand seven hundred dollars, and it is planned that the settler would open a shop for plumbing installations, and the shop is located on the “Microbus Line” and owned by “Ali Mesto”, a resident of the village of “Qibareh / Arsh Qibar.” .
The file of seizing real estate in the occupied Afrin region is directly related to the demographic change plan, as work is underway to establish the presence of settlers by facilitating their housing in the homes of Afrin’s original Kurdish residents, through the processes of forcible seizure, sale and lease.
