According to local residents, the Turkish forces has been dismantling its military base in the village of Darwish, located in the Rajo district of the occupied Afrin region in northern Syria for about two weeks.
A source reported seeing a convoy of trucks loaded with concrete slabs heading from Rajo to Afrin two days ago. The destination of the trucks remains unknown.
Another source reported seeing several trucks covered with tarpaulins about a week ago, believed to be carrying heavy weapons, leaving the same base without knowing their destination. The Turkish soldiers are also reported to be dismantling the concrete walls surrounding the military camp in the village.
The Turkish forces prevented the return of the villagers to their homes and turned the village into a military base after uprooting several houses. They also built an airstrip for military drones in the village, and constructed a concrete wall while cutting down 960 olive trees (400 for Ismail Haider, 250 for Hussein Ibrahim, 250 for Hussein Kanjo, and 60 for Nuri Ibrahim) and dozens more trees while opening roads to the village from both the west and east sides. The militias also cut down hundreds of fruit, forest, and fruit trees for logging, according to a documentary report by the Kurdish Unity Party.
The Turkish army and its affiliated militias have also seized other villages and prevented their inhabitants from returning, such as Qestel Jindo, Baflon, Sînka, Baarava, Jilbirê, Kublê, Dêr Mişmiş, Zêrikat, Basilê, Khalta-Rubariya, Jia-Rajo, Şêxûrzê, and Tiifê, turning them into military bases or homes for armed groups.
