US-backed SDF militia besieges Jdeed Egaidat village in Deir Ezzor, Kidnaps two civilians in Hasaka countryside

DEIR EZZOR, (ST)- US-backed Kurdish militia called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has besieged Jdeed Egaidat village, to the southeast of Deir Ezzor city, and prevented the locals from entering or leaving the village to meet their daily requirements, local sources told SANA.

According to the sources, the siege aims at putting more pressure on the locals who reject the SDF’s militia presence in their areas after they have wreaked havoc there and undermined the normal life of citizens through aggressive practices including imposing levies, kidnapping many youths and forcing them to join the militias’ ranks.

In August, the SDF militia besieged the towns of al-Shahil, al-Baseera, al-Hawaij, Zubian, Jdeed Bakkara, al-Tayyaneh, al-Sabha, Abu al-Natil and Shannan and carried out an arrest campaign against civilians in a bid to control the protests that erupted in these villages and that called for the expulsion of SDF militia.

 In a relevant context, the sources affirmed that an armed SDF patrol has cordoned off the village of al-Hamadanyia in the far southern countryside of Hasaka near the administrative borders of Deir Ezzor province. Members of the patrol stormed one of the houses in the village, kidnapped two persons and took them to an unknown place.

In the Meantime, two SDF militants were injured when unidentified persons opened their machinegun fire on a military vehicle carrying a group of militants in the village of al-Jurthi in Deir Ezzor southeastern countryside, local sources said.

On Tuesday, two SDF militants were killed in two separate attacks by unidentified persons. One of them was killed in the north of Raqqa while the other was killed in the south of Hasaka.

The villages and towns in the countryside of Hasaka, Deir Ezzor and Raqqa, where SDF militants have heavy presence, have witnessed many demonstrations protesting against SDF’s criminal acts that have caused a state of insecurity in the areas under their control following increasing kidnapping incidents.
