Tribal disputes | Armed clashes erupt and residents appeal tribe dignitaries to spare bloodshed

Deir Ezzor province: Violent clashes erupted today between members of “Fakhd Al-Malaly” and “Al-Shoaitat” tribes in Hawayj Bo Maasa village in western Deir Ezzor countryside, where machineguns were used following disputes between both tribes , while residents of the village appealed the tribes’ dignitaries to interfere and break the clashes to spare the bloodshed. However, no casualties have been reported yet.

SDF-held areas have witnessed family and tribal clashes, due to old disputes between them, leaving many casualties before reconciliation.

Accordingly, since early 2023, the number of fightings due to vengeance, family, and tribal clashes and chaos of arms proliferation among civilians in Autonomous Administration-held areas has risen to eight. These fights have left five people dead and nine others, including two women, injured.
