Protests in Ras Al-Ain (Sere Kaniye) | Civilians demand the Turks provide water and electricity and put an end to the factions’ violations

Syrian Observatory activists have monitored tens of people demonstrating at the border crossing with Turkey in Ras Al-Ain city (Sere Kaniye), which is under the control of “Peace Spring” factions in the north countryside of Al-Hasakah.

 

The demonstrators called upon Turkey to interfere and put an end to the Turkish-backed factions’ violations, they also demanded provide water and electricity as the area has suffered from the interruption of water and electricity for nearly a week for unknown reasons.

 

SOHR sources reported earlier this morning that the Turkish-backed “Military Police” stormed several civilian houses in Haliwah and Madba’aa villages in Ras Al-Ain countryside (Sere Kaniye) under the pretext of “searching for suspicious individuals”. The raiding forces messed around with the houses’ contents and stole money and jewelry, they also verbally abused inhabitants of these houses.

 

On August 14, Reliable sources informed the Syrian Observatory that Turkish-backed factions stole power grid cables in the “Peace Spring” areas, to be recycled and melted into aluminum and copper alloys, then sold in Turkey.

 

According to SOHR sources, a group of Ahrar al-Sharqiya prevented Sultan Murad Division on August 11 from entering trucks loaded with alloys into Turkey, due to a dispute between these factions over revenue-sharing of those stolen objects.
