YBŞ Commander: We are fighting against the gangs trained by Turkey

YBŞ Commander Zerdeşt Şengali said the fighting in Shengal was taking place between Êzîdxan and gangs trained by the Turkish state.

Clashes between Shengal Resistance Units (YBŞ) and groups trained by KDP and the Turkish state continue in Shengal.

YBŞ Commander Zerdeşt Şengali said the followings regarding the fighting that erupted after the so-called 'Rojava Peshmerga' trained by KDP and the Turkish state forcibly attempted to enter Shengal's Xanesor town.

"As a defense, our forces are responding to the attacks of gangs trained by the Turkish state. The children of Shengal are retaliating against the attacks of the gangs with a great morale.

I call upon the Êzidî peshmergas to come and protect their lands in this fighting which is between gangs and Êzidxan, not between peshmergas and YBŞ fighters."
