Cooperation with Baghdad government | Iraqi families leave “Autonomous Administration” areas to their homeland 

Al-Hasakah province: SOHR activists have reported that Iraqi families have left areas of NE Syria towards Iraqi territory through Tel Kojar “Al-Ya’rabiyah” crossing.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the number of these families approximated 450 families who came to northern and eastern Syria a few years ago, fleeing from war in Iraq.

This comes in coordination between the “Autonomous Administration” and Baghdad government.

On January 8, SOHR activists reported that 113 Iraqi families departed from Al-Hawl camp in Al-Hasakah countryside, after coordination with Iraqi government, where busses and trucks headed towards Syrian-Iraqi borders.
Reliable sources told SOHR that the administration of Al-Hawl camp in the south-eastern countryside of Al-Hasakah was preparing to evacuate a new batch of Iraqi families today, after coordination with the Iraqi government. On the other hand, SOHR obtained information about handing over nearly 50 Iraqi ISIS members held in Al-Sena’a prison in Al-Hasakah to the Iraqi government.
On January 3, SOHR sources reported that several buses arrived at Al-Hawl camp in the far south-eastern region of Al-Hasakah from Iraq in preparation to transfer 100 Iraqi families to “Al-Jada’a camp” in Mosul city. This came after coordination between the administration of Al-Hawl camp and representatives of Iraqi government.
