SHARVIN MUSTAFA / AFRIN

The citizen (RH) from Afrin canton exited with his wife and two children from the occupied Afrin and reached to al-Shahba canton, and after his arrival, Hawar news agency met with him to inquire about what happened to Afrin and what is going on there by the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries, he did not reveal his name for his keenness on the lives of some of his relatives who are still in Afrin.

Continuation of demographic change, only 20% of the indigenous population still there

At the beginning, he spoke about the fact that Afrin canton witnessed a demographic change by the occupation army and its mercenaries, who brought thousands of settlers and mercenary families to Afrin. "Afrin has changed almost completely, neither do its parents nor its residents are still there, you are strange in your homeland, you are in your city and on your land, you are humiliated by the occupiers and strangers and you are forced to remain silent, the treatment is very poor. Only 20% of the original inhabitants remain in Afrin, the rest are from the settlements of al-Gouta, Homs, Hama and Idlib and other areas, settlers are settled in the houses of Afrin residents who did not accept the injustice and the presence of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries in their city. "

Each settler has a house and 100 olive trees from the property of the Afrinis

"Settlers join the ranks of mercenaries and deal with Afrin residents as if they were settlers and strangers, at the beginning of their arrival, the settlers were telling Afrin that the mercenary gangs and the Turkish occupation army promised them that each family had a house and 100 olive trees," he said, because Afrin is instead al-Gouta, and that this land will become them from now on! "

He added: "Settlers and mercenaries do not move in the city without their personal weapons and always carry with them" a pistol or dagger at least. "They carry the weapons openly, while in contrast none of the people of Afrin can carry any sharp object, and anyone who is caught with a small knife is kidnapped, beaten, insulted and might be lost. "

Deterioration in the living condition

And the situation of the people of Afrin living under the occupation (RH) said that the people suffer from a sharp deterioration in the living situation, because many owners of the shops of Afrin residents closed their shops because of the heavy taxes imposed by mercenaries on the shops, which negatively affected the living conditions.

The citizen pointed out that on the other hand the impact of the decline of the Turkish lira on the economic situation in Afrin because everyone there is dealing with the Turkish lira, especially traders, leading to higher prices on the market to compensate for the decline of the Turkish lira.

Returning home tax (Pay $ 500 to go home ...)

On the return of some Afrin residents to their homes after the occupation, he said: "When the mercenary gangs called upon the people of Afrin to return to their homes, especially in the villages of Rajo, the canton witnessed the return of some people who wanted to protect their homes and properties, but they did not enter their village and home only after payment of a sum or a tax - to enter the village, $ 500, and a similar tax if he has a car.

When they want to go to their farmland and among the olive trees after returning, they also pay a tax of $ 200 to $ 300, and cannot go to their farmland and trees without taking the permission of the mercenary gangs who control their village.

The funds owners and property are subject to abduction

"When the mercenaries notice one of Afrin's families is rich, they seek to kidnap a member of the family and ask for ransom in return for release," he said.

"The money, and the richness of the people of Afrin are a nightmare for the affluent. They are always subject to kidnapping, torture and murder."

Noting that Turkish  MIT, its elements, the Turkish army and the commandos see all those violations and what mercenaries do with civilians without interference, and everything is done with their knowledge of course."

Afrin is divided by mercenary factions

The citizen pointed out that there are more than 50 factions of mercenaries in Afrin and in each faction there are several military commanders, and each faction and leader has a mentality and temperament, especially dealing with the people, and do not have a specific system or discipline, and every neighborhood in the city of Afrin is located in a different faction.

The so-called civil police have no consideration

"Every mercenary or faction has an interest in it, and civilian police have no regard for mercenary gangs and cannot interfere in the affair of the factions or do anything," he said. In the event that mercenaries commit any violations or breach of security, they are only front and have no consideration. For example, they make laws that no faction can arrest or interrogate a civilian except through civil police, but on the ground, no one recognizes a thing called civil police

Black prisons spread

As for the violations committed by mercenaries, he also pointed out that every faction in Afrin has a special prison, where the civilians whom have been abducted, receive the worst forms of torture in those prisons. Turkey also has many prisons, many of which are unknown, some of the kidnapped were transferred to Turkey, and others to prisons in areas of the Euphrates Shield mercenaries. "

The situation of women

He pointed out that women cannot move, if a woman can sit for one hour in front of her house without being harassed, we can say that she is okay, she is imprisoned and cannot move, and when she leaves the house she has to wear the veil and the black dress. .

Moreover, there has been an increase in kidnappings of women in Afrin and their being raped by mercenary gangs in prisons, the mercenaries have turned women's prisons into brothels.

Olive season will be the share of Turkey

At least two months left and the olive harvest began, the mercenaries have announced that after the olive harvest 50 % would be for them and the other for the families, then the Turkish occupation circulated that they would take the whole season in exchange for giving them money.

Fear among mercenaries due to military operations of YPG

The People's Protection Units have recently carried out qualitative military operations in the strongholds and ranks of the Turkish occupation army's mercenaries, causing losses in their ranks. This has spread fear and terror among the mercenaries. They have only forbidden of roaming in the evening, they themselves are afraid to move at night anywhere.

At the end of his speech to the citizen (RH) wanted to summarize what is happening in Afrin a few words, he said: "There is injustice, insulting of the Kurdish person, torture, theft, looting of civilian property, the mercenaries live on the property of civilians so Turkey cut salaries on its mercenaries, they have taken over the houses, they expel the residents from their homes to take them over and present it to their families in order to live in it.
