US-backed SDF militia kidnaps three women in Raqqa western countryside

RAQQA, (ST)- The US-backed Kurdish militia, called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), has committed more crimes against locals in the areas under its control. Most recent of these crimes is the kidnapping of three women in Raqqa western countryside.

According to local sources, US-backed SDF militants besieged al-Jarniyeh town in Raqqa western countryside from all directions, built checkpoints at the town’s gate and between its neighborhoods, stormed the locals’ houses and kidnapped three women and took them to unknown place.

In a relevant context, the sources said that a militant from the SDF was killed by unidentified persons in the city of Raqqa.

Raqqa has been destroyed by the US-led international coalition under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Tens of thousands of citizens were displaced and forced to live within a tragic humanitarian situation that lacks the minimum level of basic requirements of life.

 Over the past weeks, locals in the Syrian al-Jazira region, who were fed up with the practices of the SDF militants and their supporters from the American occupation forces, held protests in many towns and villages in the countryside of Hasaka and Deir Ezzor, demanding the expulsion of the occupation forces and SDF from their areas.
