El-Mihbash lashes out at Russian and U.S. inattention   

Turkish Occupation Forces and the affiliated mercenaries proceed to attack the Ain Issa district, as they have intensified attacks due to the silence preserved by the international community generally by the Guarantor States specifically that have never put into practise the ceasefire agreement.

In an interview conducted by ANHA with co-chair of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, Abid Hamed el-Mihbash criticized the Guarantor States, and denounced the latest attacks on the people in Ain Issa district in north eastern Syria. 

El-Mihbash made clear that Turkish Occupation Forces and the affiliated mercenaries try to utilize the transition period before president –elect Joe Biden assumes office from president Donald Trump to take possession of the strategically important Aleppo –Hasaka Highway, known as the M4.  

El-Mihbash said that Turkey has increased it's attacks on the Ain Issa district in the last few days, the aim of which is to annex further Syrian territories into Turkey, adding that '' Turkey is sparing no effort as it tries to control the international highway''.  

El-Mihbash made clear that the Ain Issa District plays a vital role in north eastern Syria, and the increased attacks by the Turkish Occupation Forces lately prove that it tries to take control of the strategically important International Highway known as the M4, as it is a vital link for Syria as a whole and north eastern Syrian in specific'', for that Turkey targets the armless civilians in Ain Issa, with all kinds of weapons, to deport and displace them from the area, as a step to achieve it's colonial plots in Syria''. 

El-Mihbash indicated that '' the actual reality in Ain Issa is that such horrific, dirty and ferocious assaults by the Turkish Occupation Forces and the affiliated mercenaries amount to war crimes against people in the North Eastern Syria, and those of the Ain Issa in specific.

Turkey has never abided by the ceasefire agreement, so the international community and the two guarantor states, Russia and the U.S., in particular have to fulfil their duties to observe ceasefire, and to stop the violent attacks against Ain Issa'', el-Mihbash said. 

El-Mihbash went on to confirm that forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the SDF, have up to date repelled all attacks on the region, and that'' all our lands are sacred and precious to us, as people are defiant in the face of enemies and colonizers as history adduces to that''.  

At the end of his words, el-Mihbash said:'' for us, it is a just cause, whoever advocates for a just cause sacrifices preciously, to protect all Syrian soil, whether in Ain Issa or any other place''.
