Al-Raqqah | Turkish forces keep preventing SDF from voiding nearly 40,000 tons of wheat and barley stored in Sherkerak silos

Al-Raqqah Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: SOHR sources have confirmed that Turkish forces continue preventing SDF from voiding wheat and barley stored in Sherkerak silos in Al-Raqqah countryside. According to SOHR sources, these silos contain 16,000 tons of wheat and 25 tons of barley stored by Autonomous Administration’s institutions in mid-2019. When Turkish forces and their proxy factions captured these silos in late 2019, they looted large amounts of the stock before ceasefire was reached in the region under Russia’s sponsorship.

The Autonomous Administration has uselessly tried for several times, after Russian mediations, to restore their wheat and barley from Sherkerak silos. It is worth noting that Sherkerak silos are located in the east of Ain Issa in Al-Raqqah countryside, near the frontlines between SDF and Turkish forces.
