Syrians protest against Kurdish siege in Hasakah province
Astroturf to justify the coming Syrian Arab Army attack against the recalcitrant Kurds Did the local government officials pay the kids by check or in cash? Inquiring minds want to know.
[AlAhram] Citing its news hound in Hasakah, SANA said that the SDF opened fire to disperse the protesters with no reports on injuries yet

Crowds of people held a protest on Wednesday against the Kurdish militia siege of government-controlled zones in Syria's northeastern province of Hasakah, state news agency SANA reported.

The people protested against the siege imposed by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Kurdish security force, Assayish, which led to preventing the entry of food and other necessities to government areas in Hasakah.

The students have also been denied access to their schools as a result of the siege that has been in place for two weeks.

Citing its news hound in Hasakah, SANA said that the SDF opened fire to disperse the protesters with no reports on injuries yet.

The SDF controls large swathes of Hasakah while the Syrian government controls a few areas in Hasakah, including the airport of the city of Qamishli.

Recently, tension started brewing between both sides as the Syrian government has slammed in a statement the SDF due to their policies and the support they get from the US.

SDF disperses protesters over demonstration against siege of Hasakah city

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) dispersed protesters on Wednesday that attended a demonstration against the siege imposed on the city by their troops.

According to reports, several people gathered in al-Hasakah’s administrative capital to protest the siege imposed by the SDF on the government-held neighborhoods of the city.

The reports said the SDF troops and Asayish police forces fired gunshots in the area to disperse the crowd and put an end to the demonstration on Wednesday morning.

The reports said the protest was held on Wednesday against the backdrop of the Syrian Democratic Forces’ decision to close the exits from the government-held areas of the administrative capital, which they said has resulted in the blockage of food and supplies to the people there.

The protesters tried to break the siege on the security square in the city, amid chants in support of the Syrian government and Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
, the reports from the administrative capital added.

The SDF has not yet commented on what happened.
