DEIR EZZOUR, Aug.2, (ST)-Residents of the towns of Al-Izba and Al-Tayyana in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzour demonstrated against the US-backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” militia after its gunmen kidnapped two 13-year-old children forcibly into its ranks.
Local sources from the eastern countryside of the province stated that armed groups affiliated with the “Qasad militia” kidnapped two children from the town of Al-Tayyana, no more than 13 years old, to take them to the compulsory recruitment camps.
The sources indicated that the people of the towns of Al-Tayyana and Al-Izba demonstrated against the “SDF” militia, blocking roads and burning tires in the streets of the two towns, calling for an end to the kidnappings of children and young men, and the exit of the SDF militia and the American occupation from the area.
The sources pointed out that the SDF has intensified its kidnapping operations during the recent period, as part of the wide campaign launched in order to drive the youth to forcibly recruit them into its ranks and push them into its camps in the towns and cities it controls on the Syrian Jazeera area.
