Turkey continues to build colonial settlements in occupied Afrin in northern Syria. The construction in the Turkish occupied zone is taking place with the support of "aid organisations" from Qatar, Kuwait and Palestine.
Through pro-ikhwan organizations, the Turkish state continues building colonial settlements in the lands of Afrin which it occupied in 2018 in violation of international law.
As part of the demographic change in the region, the Turkish state is building new colonial houses in cooperation with the "Deniz Feneri" [Lighthouse] company near the village of Kefir Sefirê in the Jindires district.
According to reports from the ground, more than a hundred four-storey buildings will be built in the area and the construction will begin in the winter.
Families of mercenaries from East Ghouta, Homs and Hama will be settled in the houses to be built here.
The Turkish state occupied Afrin in spring 2018 with jihadist mercenaries and has since been pursuing a policy of demographic change. Instead of the predominantly Kurdish population, mercenaries are being settled with their families. According to the report published by the human rights organisation Afrin-Syria on the current situation in the formerly most peaceful canton in the civil war country of Afrin on 1 June, the Turkish occupation forces and their jihadist mercenaries abducted at least 53 people, four of them women, under various pretexts in May.
