In details, the “Suleiman Shah/Al-Amshat” militia imposes a fee of 100 Turkish lira on each shop in the industrial zone and the Hal Market, claiming it to be an “eidiyah” fee for Eid al-Fitr.
The “Sultan Murad” militia also imposes an Eid fee of 200 Turkish lira on shops located on the Rajo Street, while the “Ahrar Al-Sharqiyah” militia imposes the same fee of 200 Turkish lira on shops located on the Eastern Highway, also claiming it to be an “eidiyah” fee.
Furthermore, a leader in the “Al-Jabha al-Shamiya” militia, known as “Abu Ali Sijjo” from the Al-Ajil tribe in northern Aleppo countryside, imposes a fee of $2500 on each smuggler in the occupied city of Azaz.
The “Sultan Murad” militia has also increased the rental prices of sidewalks in the Rajo Street market for street vendors to 1000 Turkish lira until the end of Eid, compared to the previous amount of 500 Turkish lira, in the occupied city of Afrin.
