According to the human rights organization Afrin – Syria, the new royalty comes after the end of the olive season, in which the exorbitant royalties were imposed on the season. As for the new royalty, it is in order to secure an amount of 25 million Syrian pounds to present a gift from the group leaders to Muhammad Jasim Abu Amsha, leader of the “al-Amshat” militia. .
