As afrinpost correspondent reported, a settler sold the house of Kurdish citizen Zaki Ibrahim and the house of his father, Nuri Ibrahim, for 1,800 US dollars. The two houses are located in the old Afrin neighborhood in the vicinity of the Sheikh Shawakh Mosque.
In addition, the house of the Kurdish citizen, Shadi Muhammad, from the village of Ester, located in the Zaydiya neighborhood, was sold for $ 600.
The city center is witnessing sales and trading in the property of forcibly displaced Kurdish citizens, in order to get financial gains, noting that most of the houses were seized upon the announcement of the occupation of Afrin, as soon as the names of the militants and the militia to which they belong were written, and because of the recruitment and transfer to fronts outside Syria, the militants liquidate what they seized It must be sold anticipation of any change that might arise.
For its part, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated in a report published on December 24 that it counted about 240 new seizures of the property of Kurdish citizens, whether they were displaced or those who decided to remain under occupation, but this number represents only what has been known of the seizures and expropriation operations, While there are greater numbers of seizures that have not been monitored, especially in the villages, and specifically the seizure of olive fields.
