US-backed SDF separatist militia seizes swathes of agricultural land in the vicinity of Al-Arisheh Camp in Hasakah countryside
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia has seized swathes of agricultural land in the vicinity of Al-Arisheh camp for the displaced in Hasakah southern countryside under the guise of expanding the camp.
A group of SDF militants forced many locals to sell their lands cheaply and expelled those who refused to sell from the area, local sources told SANA on Friday.
The sources pointed out that the SDF militia revealed its intention to move the refugees residing in Al-Hawl Camp to Al-Arisheh Camp.
The militia vandalized and removed the irrigation canals of the Al-Basel Dam in the south of Hasakah that irrigate thousands of hectares, and forced many locals to sell their land under the threat of weapons, according to the sources.
Some 1000 displaced citizens, who came from Deir Ezzor, are living in the SDF-controlled Al-Arisheh Camp within very bad conditions due to the lack of food and medicine.
