The Afrinpost learned from its sources inside the occupied Kurdish regional center of Afrin, that the Islamic militias affiliated with the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood continue to exploit deserters from Idlib Governorate and the western countryside of Aleppo, by seizing and renting public and private properties to them .
The sources confirmed that the “Istaqem kama amart” group affiliated to the militia of the “Al-Shamiya Front” took the new bazaar square “Wednesday Souk” and invested by allowing fleeing from Idlib and the western countryside of Aleppo to set up tents in it for sums of money, noting that the armed group charges for every tent An amount of ten thousand monthly rent for the land.
“Afrinpost” obtained a special image confirming the transformation of the new bazaar square, as well as the jungles of the Al-Mahmoudiyah neighborhood in the city into camps, especially in the Al-Mahmoudiya forest that turned into a large camp after militia militants clearly eliminated pine trees.
More convoys of deserters from Idlib countryside continue to flow to the former autonomous Kurdish region of Afrin, due to the exposure of those areas to Russian shelling and the advance of the regime’s army against the Islamic and jihadist militias of the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood.
