Turkish-backed rebels fight over their rights to abandoned residential homes in Afrin

The Turkish-backed rebels in the Afrin region of northwest Aleppo have once again clashed over which group controls the residential homes.

According to the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), the Al-Hamza Division and Al-Mu’asim Division clashed over which group takeover the residential homes inside Afrin city.

“The clashes took place near Kawa roundabout in Afrin city, between a group of al-Hamzah Division and a group of al-Mu’asim Division, again the backdrop of a disagreement between other groups about the takeover of residential houses in the area,” SOHR reported.

This is not the first time that Turkish-backed groups have clashed over properties and loot, as this has become a common occurrence in the Afrin region.
