On the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the occupation of the #afrin region by the Turkish state and its mercenaries on 1/20/2018, we would like to once again bring attention to the human rights violations carried out there.
Freedompress on the latest attacks of #Turkey against #Rojava & the anniversary of the occupation war against #Afrin: "Sixth anniversary of Turkey’s war against Afrin"
Tomorrow, six years ago #Turkey started a brutal occupation war against #Afrin in North & East Syria. While hundreds of thousands were displaced the remaining population lives today under an exploitative & torturing regime of Turkish controlled islamist mercenary groups & Turkey.
⚡ The #Turkish states attacks against North and East #Syria continue:
➡️ Yesterday a drone strike happened in the village Gire Sor west of #Qamishlo
➡️ Water deposits in Um El Keif, #TilTemir were shelled
➡️ A village in Sherewa, #Afrin got shelled today
"Die Besetzung #Afrin|s u. die Zerstörung der dortigen Naturbestände sind völkerrechtswidrige Akte. Vor dem Hintergrund des 🌏-weiten #Klimawandel|s sind sie Umweltverbrechen gegen die Menschheit. #Türkei u. seine Milizen müssen von der internat. Gemeinschaft sanktioniert werden!"
The rank hypocrisy of Erdogan who just annihilated the water and power infrastructure for 3+ million people in Syria to now try and take the high ground on Gaza.
And he has the gall to call Palestinians terrorists while giving out passports, funding and matériel to Hamas.
Turkey had targeted more than 145 locations in areas held by the AANES, including power stations, water and energy facilities, hospitals, and schools.
"The destruction of infrastructure amounts to war crimes and cannot be described as anything less than that,” according to the statement.
Turkey is a terrorist state. Why is Turkey committing genocide in Syria?
Genocide Watch is issuing a Genocide Emergency Alert for Turkey's aggression in Northern Syria and Iraq. In Nov 2022 through Oct 2023, Turkey launched many hundreds of airstrikes across northern Syria and Iraq targeting the Kurdish population and Kurdish towns.
When Tayyit Erdogan murdered 8 #Kurdish children in #Afrin Shahba on 2 December 2019, many Muslims remained silent. All of a sudden you notice that children are being killed by Israel? Then why were you silent about Erdogan? Shouldn't the nationality of those killed be irrelevant.
The Turkish-backed #SNA prevents the olive harvest in four villages in #Afrin countryside, NW #Syria, because the farmers refused to pay "protection fees" to the SNA militants.
On 19 August 2021, #YPJ & #SDF commander Sosîn Bîrhat was martyred in a targeted assassination by the Turkish state
➡️ Our comrade Sosîn was from #Afrin; she participated in every phase of the #Rojava Revolution & as a commander led battles against #ISIS & Turkish occupation
