US-backed SDF militia continues to kidnap youths to recruit them within its ranks

The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) separatist militia on Tuesday kidnapped a number of youths in Raqqa western countryside to forcibly recruit them within its ranks.

The militia stormed Al-Mansoura town in the west of Raqqa, kidnapped dozens of young men and forcibly took them to military training camps to train them on fighting within its ranks.  

Last Saturday, a group of SDF militants kidnapped several youths from Al-Karama town in Raqqa northern countryside to force them to fight alongside the militia. The militants also kidnapped 4 civilians from Hazimeh town in Raqqa countryside and took them to an unknown destination.
