A recorded video from the village of Al-Aloush, located in the Turkish-occupied countryside of Manbij, depicts residents gathering to protest against the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation. The villagers demand the mercenaries vacate the village and refrain from turning it into a battleground against the SDF.

The footage shows groups of villagers expressing their demands for the mercenaries to leave, followed by scenes of some mercenaries retreating to their vehicles.

Public resentment towards the presence of Turkish-backed mercenaries in Manbij and its countryside has grown significantly, especially after an upsurge in theft and robberies that have plagued the region since their arrival.

According to sources previously cited by ANHA agency, many mercenaries have expressed their desire to withdraw and return to their own cities within other parts of Syria following the fall of the Assad regime. However, the Turkish occupation has reportedly prevented such attempts, forcing them to remain engaged in conflict.
