Girê Spî, Jarablous residents fed up with Turkish occupation atrocities

In the expansionist attacks, Turkey and its mercenaries occupied the two Syrian cities of Girê Spî/ Tal Abyed and Serêkaniyê/ Ras-al-Ain, after the attacks that began on October 9, 2019, which is considered egregious violation to the Syrian sovereignty, to begin the operation of demographic change in the borders cities it occupied to achieve expansionist ambitions under flimsy pretexts in the midst an international silence.

Since the occupation the occupied cities are still witnessing a state of security chaos, as citizens live in state of panic, suffered from expensiveness for raw materials and imposition of taxes, as well as the Turkish policies that target the region.

'Continuation of the Turkification policy'

The Turkish occupation and its mercenaries require the Syrian citizens of Tal Abyad and Jarablus to obtain Turkish ID, while preventing citizens from forcibly displaying Syrian cards in the midst of a reality of starvation and terror controlling the souls of citizens due to mercenary oppression and exorbitant high prices.

According to local sources, the mercenaries depended on the 1 of July of last year to obtain identification cards for citizens residing in the cities occupied by Turkey, while prohibiting the declaration of identity cards belonging to the Syrian government, and it gave them paper identification cards that belong to the Turkish occupation, In Turkish language, information about the citizen’s place of residence, in addition to his personal information, is written on it.

In a related context, it was announced on the 12th of this February by the so-called local council of the mercenaries of the occupation in the occupied city of Jarablus that a "free" training course was opened on the computer.

It is required that the course participant complete his course in the Turkish language, and that the volunteer present the paper card that he obtained from the Turkish occupation, the "Turkish ID ", in a continuation of the Turkification policy pursued by the Turkish occupation state in the occupied territories.

The residents are fed up from harsh condition living.

The areas occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries are experiencing inhuman suffering with the high prices imposed by merchants loyal to the Turkish occupation, as the price of one bundle of bread is estimated at 1,000 Syrian pounds, in addition to the fact that one barrel of diesel fuel may exceed 140 thousand Syrian pounds.

All this is accompanied by a life full of suffering experienced by the citizens, with the indiscriminate firing of gunfire and tampering with their security in an attempt to create a state of panic and keep people in a state of fear that they have created for them in ways that do not amount to humanity, not to mention the conflicts that take place periodically between mercenaries, and cause many There are often civilian casualties.

In addition, some other sources told ANHA's correspondent that mercenaries in the occupied territories tend to harass women to prevent them from leaving the homes, to the point where the citizen does not dare to send his wife or sister alone to shop without her husband, brother or father with her.

'Imposing taxes and royalties on commercial stores'

On August 24, 2016, the process of handing over the city of Jarablus took place between ISIS mercenaries and the Turkish occupation state in a comic theatrical scenario, where the majority of ISIS elements from the city’s people changed their clothes and stayed in it, after which the Turkish occupier was announced with its mercenaries to it and continue to follow the path of ISIS.

Local sources from the city of Jarablus confirmed to our agency's correspondent that "mercenaries are issuing circulars related to imposing taxes on shops in the city from time to time, in a kind of collecting royalties from citizens whose value amounts to large sums of money that burden the small earners."

On the 7th of this month, the so-called local council of mercenaries issued a circular calling on shopkeepers to pay their taxes.

Despite the fact that the city of Jarablus is located on the banks of the Euphrates River, sources confirmed that drinking water is cut off from the city from time to time, due to the policy of starvation adopted by the councils affiliated with the mercenaries.

The past month of January witnessed the cutting off drinking water for a period exceeding 10 days.

'Security chaos and intimidation of civilians in occupied Jarablus'

These mercenaries are not satisfied with taxes and seizing the property of the forcibly displaced persons of the Kurdish people from those cities, but they carry out kidnappings and a ransom demand, as scenes proving this have appeared and are still appearing on social networking sites, not to mention the bodies that appear from time to time lying on the banks of the Euphrates River is close to the city of Jarablus and among the olive trees in the occupied city of Afrin.

In a related context, sources reported that "mercenaries are spreading in each of Jarablus, Tal Abyad and al-Bab in a suspicious manner, to the extent that the number of security checkpoints inside the city of Jarablus and on its outskirts in neighboring villages reaches 20 checkpoints, in the policy of imposing The status quo is on the citizens and preventing any popular movement that may appear in the city. "

The source also emphasized that the mercenaries intentionally shoot indiscriminately to terrify the people, and that attacking citizens in the streets is not difficult for them.

From the context of the information reported by the sources to ANHA's agency, it is concluded that popular discontent is experienced by residents from Girê Spi / Tal Abyad, Jarablus and the rest of the occupied cities, but this discontent remains suppressed because of the excessive use of weapons by the mercenaries against each other and against civilians, which makes any thought about organizing any popular movement exposes them to inevitable death.

All this and the Syrian cities occupied by Turkey are still exposing to humiliation at the hands of the occupation mercenaries, amid an international silence.
