​​​​​​​Fighters from Idlib against occupation on Ain Issa fronts line

The Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries continue their attacks against Syrian territories, and the Turkish state and its mercenaries are seeking, through these attacks, to expand the scope of their occupation. In the context of their right to legitimate defense of the land, the SDF fighters are confronting the occupation and its mercenaries, especially in Ain Issa district. SDF includes Kurdish, Arab, Syriac, and Armenian fighters. Among the ranks of the forces are fighters from Idlib, who have been subjected to injustice and torture by mercenaries, who are stationed on the frontlines in defense of the Syrian territory.

SDF fighter Zinar Afrin, from the Idlib people, joined the SDF in 2014 to fight against mercenary gangs. "The elements of Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham were pressuring us to force us to join their ranks. But we were seeing their brutal practices in front of our eyes, we did not want to join them. Because of this the mercenaries held me 3 and a half months in prison," said Zinar Afrin. They asked for $ 13,000 from my family as a ransom to release me. My family had to pay the ransom. In prison, I was brutally tortured. The mercenaries in Idlib are no different from ISIS mercenaries, the Turkish state that supports them."

They were selling human organs.

One of the brutal practices of mercenary gangs is the sale of human organs, and Zinar Afrin says that "they were selling human organs in Turkey, I saw with my own eyes how they were extracting organs from the bodies of the wounded civilians. Some of the civilians had non-fatal injuries in their hands, then they entered them to Turkey and then extracted their internal organs and restore their bodies. "

For all these reasons, Zinar Afrin decided to join the YPG "In Afrin, I got to know the YPG, and when I got to know their humanitarian goals, I decided to join them in 2014. I was happy with the presence of the YPG to protect the Syrian people. During al-Raqqa campaign and the mercenary attack on Afrin, I participated in Battles to perform my duty. "

"Our enemy is one, and we stand shoulder to shoulder on our land"

Zinar Afrin said that their primary duty is to protect the people and the land of Syria. "The enemy who is now committing massacres in Idlib is the same one who is attacking our people here. We are here in Ain Issa, which is part of Syrian territory, fighting against the occupation. Our primary goal is to counter the attempts to occupy new territories: We will be able to liberate our occupied lands through our solidarity and unity.

We tell our people displaced from Idlib to go to the north and east of Syria, the safer areas are the areas where our forces are existed. "

SDF fighter Ali Idlib, was also tortured by mercenaries. Ali Idlib says that mercenary gangs calling themselves Islamic labels practice psychological and physical torture against civilians, adding, "These mercenary gangs like the Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham, which claim to be Islamic and fight for Islam, were forcing the people to join them."

They were plundering, looting, kidnapping, and killing in the name of religion, so I refused to join mercenaries, and because of that I was imprisoned for a whole month. In prison, she was tortured. These mercenaries continue to practice these practices against civilians in Idlib, they practice psychological and physical torture against civilian families. "

We will liberate all the Syrian lands from the occupiers.

Ali Idlib joined the SDF in 2016, with the aim of defending its land and people against mercenaries and occupiers. He is now continuing to resist and perform his duties on the front lines of fighting in Ain Issa against the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries.

"We will liberate the rest of the Syrian lands from the occupiers," Ali Idlib said. "The SDF includes fighters of all components. We have fighters from all Syrian cities. We are continuing to resist on the frontlines of fighting in Ain Issa. Our duty is to protect the region and not allow the occupation of our lands."
