🌹Today marks the 8th anniversary of the #Kobane massacre

➡️ After the liberation of Kobane in Jan. 2015, ISIS carried out a massacre on 25.6.2015, killing 252 civilians

➡️ ISIS fighters disguised as #YPG infiltrated Kobane from Jarablus & Mürşitpınar border crossing, #Turkey

➡️ The ISIS militant had entered the village of Barkh Botan & Kobane city under cover of darkness in the early hours of June 25

➡️ From there, they went from house to house, killing old people, men, women & children

➡️ During the massacre infants had been killed in their beds & ISIS militants cut off the index & middle finger of an infant - the 2 fingers used to show the victory sign

➡️Among the 252 killed civilians there have been 35 children & 64 women - 3 of them being pregnan

In the last 3 months 256 families fled from Turkish occupied #GirêSpî to #AANES

➡️ In the 1st year of the occupation 100.000 out of 170.000 had fled the Turkish occupied area

👉 The #AANES has become a safe haven for people coming from Damascus-held & Turkish occupied areas

In North & East #Syria there are more than 10000 #ISIS detainees, coming from more than 60 countries

➡️ Most countries have refused to take back their citizens

➡️ In the face of the inaction of the international community, the #AANES announced to prosecute the ISIS foreigners

🗣️ Xalid Ibrahim, #AANES Foreign Relations Department, spoke about this decision to ANHA News Agency:

📢 "Most of the states are still discussing their stances on this issue. We tried to ask the positions of some intern. parties regarding the AANES' decision, but they did not give any positive or negative answers."

Turkish-backed militia man rapes girl in #Afrin

➡️ Muhammed Cuma from al-Hamza Brigade abducted & raped a 13-year old girl in the village of Jwaiq

➡️ According to local sources he then fled to Jindires to seek refuge among his relatives from Ainjarah town, western #Aleppo

In 2018, #Turkey violently invaded #Afrin, killing 500 civilians & displacing 300000 indigenous Kurds

➡️ Since then, Turkish-backed Islamists created a system of looting, kidnapping, rape & murder

➡️ Yesterday, the "#Barzani Charity Foundation" opened a center in occupied Afrin

👉 #Barzani's organization is pretending to help the #Kurds, while in fact they are cooperating with the forces who massacred & displaced the Kurdish population of #Afrin

➡️ This directly supports the ethnic cleansing & "turkification" of indigenous Kurdish territories

📽 This video shows the ambulance that #Turkey targeted yesterday in #Kobane

➡️ 2 medical staff were injured when they rushed to the scenes that had been shelled with mortars earlier that day

➡️ Mislim N. Oso & Sozdar M. Isman were looking for wounded when being targeted themselves
