Afrinpost-Special
The Afrinpost correspondent at the center of the occupied Kurdish region of Afrin in northern Syria said that the militants of the “Hamza” militia affiliated with the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood organization, are randomly cutting olive trees in the fields belonging to the people of the villages of Marate and “Gunde Mazen” and transporting it to the woodworking shop in Afrin city center.
The reporter confirmed that the gunmen cut down trees and transport them by motorbikes to a woodcutting shop, near Afrin Bus Station – on Jenderes road.
The occupied Kurdish region is witnessing continuous cutting of forest trees and perennial olive trees by Islamic militia militants and their settler families. The correspondents of Afrinpost had indicated in earlier times that the occupation militias cut down forest trees as well as olives belonging to the displaced of Afrin, and collect firewood in centers on the outskirts of villages with the aim of selling them and exporting the rest to Turkey.
Since the implementation of the Turkish occupation on March 18, 2018, Afrin has also witnessed the burning of thousands of forest trees, olive trees and others, by Islamic militias in the mountains of the region, under the pretext of the presence of cells of the “People’s Protection Units”.
