US-backed SDF separatist militia kidnaps 15 youths in Raqqa countryside

The US-backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) separatist militia on Tuesday stormed into several houses in the city of Al-Tabqa in Raqqa western countryside and kidnapped 15 young men to forcibly recruit them within its ranks, local sources told SANA, the Syrian Arab News Agency.

The sources added that the separatist militia attacked the village of Al-Mweileh, west of Raqqa, and the village of Al-Shirka, north of the city, to search for youths in order to take them to training camps and force them to join the militia’s ranks and implement its separatist agenda which goes in line with the US occupation division schemes in the region.

According to the sources, the SDF’s raids and kidnapping crimes aim at pressuring the locals and displacing them from their villages so that they can control these areas.
