The village of “Burj Haydar”, of the Shirawa district of the occupied Kurdish region of Afrin, consists of about 150 houses, and it has been controlled since the Turkish occupation by the “Faliaq Al-Sham” militia affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
In its 150 homes, about 2000 indigenous Kurds had lived in, but half of them were displaced after the occupation, where there are currently about 1,000 people.
The militia in the village was led by the so-called “Abu Khaled” , who was killed later, while the village is inhabited by about 30 families, who took over the homes of the displaced indigenous Kurdish people, who could not return to the village .
In the context, the “Failaq Al-Sham” militia seized the property of the displaced from the village, while the number of the current kidnapees is 6 Kurdish indigenous people. The village had witnessed many kidnappings previously, but the kidnapees were released after being subjected to severe torture and paying of financial ransoms. .
The village witnessed several shelling during the recent regime’s campaign in Idlib and the countryside of Aleppo, and the “Afrin Liberation Forces” carried out nearly ten operations within the vicinity of the village, and there are houses where the militants are stationed and destroyed, such as the “Nabu Gule Khairi” house.
