PYD accused of changing demography in Manbij
|
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] The PYD, the Syrian affiliate of the terrorist PKK organization, is being accused of attempting to change the demographic structure in the northern Syrian city of Manbij.
According to local sources, PYD forces set ablaze civil registry and land registry buildings in Manbij, shortly after capturing the city from ISIS group with the support of the U.S.-led coalition and the U.S.-backed Syrian Arab Coalition.
The sources, who spoke anonymously due to security fears, told Anadolu Agency that the PYD was setting the land registry and civil registry buildings on fire in an alleged attempt to change the demographic structure of the city.
In addition, the PYD has also been allegedly repelling Sunni Arabs and Turkmen residents who want to return to their homes in Manbij on the pretext that ISIS has planted mines inside the houses.
Manbij fell to the PYD and the Syrian Arab Coalition -- both of which fight under the umbrella of what is known as the Syrian Democratic forces (SDF) -- after some two and a half months of fighting.
Ossama Telcu, Aleppo head of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, told Anadolu Agency that it was suspicious that the fire had started on the floor where all the land registry documents were stored, proving, according to him, that it was arson.
"The PYD is the suspect because this group has always followed this ethnic cleansing and deportation policy. This act of arson will also enable the PYD to seize all the properties in Manbij," he said.
Telcu said the PYD-led Syrian Democratic Forces did not allow the families who were not fighting to return back to Manbij.
"This shows that the PYD is trying to change the demographic structure of the city," he said.
Abu Razak, a Manbij resident, said the PYD had also in prohibited residents from returning to the villages of Shuyukh Tahtani and Shuyukh Fawqani, -- east of the Euphrates River -- where nearly 15,000 people live.
