US-backed SDF militia kidnaps several young men in al-Shaddadi city, deports several families from al-Howl Camp

HASAKA, (ST)-The US-backed separatist militia called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has escalated its kidnapping crimes against the locals in Hasaka countryside amid increasing popular discontent.

In a further escalation, the SDF militants kidnapped on Monday a number of young men in al-Madina village in Hasaka southern countryside.

Local sources told SANA that the SDF groups, backed by US occupation forces cordoned off al-Madina village in al-Shaddadi city, stormed its neighborhoods and kidnapped a number of young men.

The sources added that due to its failure in managing the al-Howl refugee camp in Hasaka eastern countryside and in providing basic services to the residents and because of the increase of crimes within the camp, the SDF militia deported a large number of Syrian families living in the camp after an order by the US occupation forces.

Most of the camp’s residents came from the Syrian provinces of Deir Ezzor and Raqqa, the sources pointed out, indicating that some of the residents are expected to be transferred to al-Areesheh camp near al-Basel Dam in Hasaka southern countryside.

 Yesterday, a group of SDF militants raided the town and the camp of al-Howl and kidnapped 6 refugees, including women.
