#Thread on what’s happening in #Afrin under Turkish backed forces.

Turkish backed forces raped three girls age 15.

This interview was published on HaberTurk TV(27th of March).

Reporter in Turkish: What has changed in Afrin?What do you think about Turkish humanitarian aid?1/1

Old Kurdish man: We as the people of Afrin want these forces to leave. They aren't Free Syrian Army. They are thieves, rapists, terrorists and Turkish backed forces are destroying our houses. Last night Turkish backed forces raped three fifteen-year-old girls.
1/2

The interpreter however interpreted: We don't want non Afrinis here.YPG didn't belong to Afrin, stole our properties, were bad to our women.We don't want YPG because they are not the owner of Afrin. 1/3

Second Kurdish man: We are ok with Turkish Forces but FSA and Turkish backed forces are destroying everything and have taken everything we had including our sheeps.
The İnterprete again: YPG stole everything and rape our women.

Third man: The FSA Forces have taken everything from us. As soon as they see a woman with gold on her, they stop her and take her properties. Usually the FSA and other forces come at night time (after 10pm)to steal our properties.
The Interprter: YPG took our women’s gold etc.

Reporter: how was your daily life under PYD rule?

Fourth Kurdish man: FSA and other forces have come and taken everything from us.

I have downloaded the entire program as Turkey has started removing the links. Any media/organisation welcome to have the video.

Part 1 out of 29 of the video

Part 2 out of 29.
People are also scared to speak up against Turkey.Imagine how bad the situation is that they call Turkey backed forces as thieves,terrorists,rapists etc.
They also know that there’s no one to help them so they are asking Turkey(boss of FSA&others)to help them.
