​​​​​​​Extremist generations increase gradually in occupied areas

The areas of Girê Spî occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries since 2019 are witnessing an increase in the number of settlers, and an increase in the number of training centers supervised by Pakistani and Afghani associations, working to spread extremist ideas, according to what its residents confirm, not to mention the daily crimes committed between "killing, kidnapping, looting and rape."

The co-chair of the Girê Spî canton council, Fadila Mohammad, believes that what the occupied canton is witnessing is a demographic change that the Turkish state is making, and the region has turned into a hotbed for mercenaries, and a center for targeting security and peace in North and East Syria and the world.

During a meeting with ANHA’s agency, she warned the international community of the consequences of the Turkish occupation state's policy in the occupied Syrian regions, on the security and stability of the region and the world, as a result of Turkey's continued by adopting mercenaries through extremist associations, in preparation for its global deployment, which undermines global security and stability as a whole."

What is happening in the occupied province?

Turkey and its mercenaries occupied Girê Spî / Tal Abyad canton in North and East Syria on October 9, 2019, which led to the displacement of more than 200,000 people from their homes in the canton, who today live in camps prepared by AANES.

Turkey and its mercenaries continue their crimes against the rest of the people in the canton, including "killing, kidnapping, looting, rape, cultural obliteration, and demographic change," focusing primarily on increasing the number of settlers and spreading extremist ideas.

The Turkish state increased the settlement operations that it announced during the past year, as it increased the deportations of Syrian refugees from its lands to the occupied canton after the statements of Turkish officials, led by Turkish President Erdogan in April 2022, about building settlements in the areas it occupies from Syria.

The number of people that entered into the canton during the first quarter of this year, according to sources at the canton's border crossing to our agency, exceeded 22,000 settlers, whose origin from the cities of (Homs, Aleppo, Idlib, and Eastern Ghouta).

The settlers were distributed to the homes and villages of the forcibly displaced, and the settlements that Turkey is working on with Qatari money and Pakistani and Afghan associations in the western side of the center of the occupied district, as well as in the town of Ain Al-Arous on the lands of the displaced that were confiscated from them by the so-called "Tal Abyad Local Council."

Pakistani and Chechen associations, with the support of the Turkish state, are working to spread extremism in the occupied canton, by opening training centers for them in the center of the canton and the towns of Suluk, Turkmen and Ali Baglia in its countryside, by focusing on children who were denied access to schools, after their contents were stolen and turned into barracks and military headquarters for Turkish mercenaries.

The work of these associations increased after the visit of the so-called Mufti of the "Coalition" Osama Al-Rifai last year, and his blessing for the work of these associations.

Among the associations that are very active in opening and financing complexes in the and its canton in the countryside are the Ansar Charity Association and the Bait Al-Mal (Pakistan National Relief Foundation).

The so-called "Pakistan National Relief Foundation" finances and supervises several institutes that nurture religious extremism, such as the Ubayy bin Ka'b Institute in the town of Suluk, Omar bin al-Khattab in the town of Hammam al-Turkman, and the Rashid Institute in the district center.

It also finances the opening of schools in which the Turkish language was imposed on students, such as Ahmed Yassin and Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Schools in the district center, and Khirbet al-Raz School in its countryside.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as crimes in the canton are not limited to that, as the canton witnesses other practices and crimes of "murder, looting of property, kidnapping, bulldozing and theft of antiquities, and the confiscation of agricultural lands."
