Renewed protests | Protestors call for improving living conditions and releasing detainees in SDF-held areas north of Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor province: Dozens of people from Ezbet town, north of Deir Ezzor, have staged an angry protest, blocking roads with burning rubber tyres.

The protestors have demanded the “SDF” to improve living conditions and release detainees in SDF prisons.

Protestors have threatened to prevent oil “tankers” from heading from Deir Ezzor to Al-Hasakah or Al-Raqqah in case the “SDF” do not meet their demands.

It is worth noting that areas controlled by the SDF experience a state of public tension due to the deteriorating living conditions, poor services and rampant security chaos, prompting civilians to hold protests in the hope that their demands would be met by SDF officials.

 

On January 10, SOHR activists reported that dozens of residents of Al-Basirah city and Ibrehah village, east of Deir Ezzor, gathered and staged angry demonstrations, demanding that living conditions be improved, that representatives of the area be assigned to the districts and that detainees be released from “SDF” prisons, amid blocking roads with burning rubber tyres.
