The Muslim Brotherhood coalition, which forms the political cover for the Muslim Brotherhood militia known as the “Syrian National Army,” continues its efforts to deny and refute the crimes committed by its militants and are still in the occupied Kurdish region of Afrin in northern Syria.
In the context, media affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood are trying to promote visits by the leaders of the coalition to Afrin, and from there to villages with a Yazidi presence in the occupied Kurdish region.
And those media stated that the so-called “head of the Syrian National Coalition,” called Nasr al-Hariri, visited last Thursday the town of Basufan in the countryside of Afrin, and met the sheikh of the Yazidi community and the mayor of the town, in light of what they called “information that armed elements committed unacceptable practices.” , as they claim.
These means that the visit to the town of Basufan after reports spoke of a demographic change, carried out by the “Failaq al-Sham” militia in the village, where the gunmen seized dozens of houses in the village after their owners fled to safer places, as well as the agricultural lands belonging to them.
According to a statement issued by the media department of the so-called Coalition, “The townspeople asserted that they freely practice their religious rites and rituals, and that their beliefs are fully respected. And that their beliefs are fully respected, they also stressed that they were not subjected to cases of usurpation or the seizure of their homes and properties, and they demanded that the thefts that occurred individually for some of their needs should be addressed.
The reality of the situation says that, after the implementation of the Turkish military occupation, the Yazidi Kurds in Afrin were deprived of performing their rituals and feasts and declaring their religious affiliation, as it is a sufficient reason for torture, persecution, kidnapping by the Islamic militias affiliated with the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood.
