Protests continue against Turkish-backed government in Syria's Sere Kaniye
2021-05-22
[NPASYRIA] On Friday, hundreds of settlers in the Ottoman Turkish-occupied Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) demonstrated for the third time in three days, denouncing the living and service conditions there.

Sere Kaniye has been under the control of Ottoman Turkish forces and their affiliated gangs since late 2019, when the groups attacked the region and caused the displacement of hundreds of thousands of native residents, which were then replaced by fighters from the Ottoman Turkish-backed groups and their families and supporters.

The settlers called for an improvement in the living conditions and services, amid an absence of job opportunities, widespread unemployment, and infighting among the gangs over stolen loot which occasionally escalates to armed festivities.

The demonstrators raised banners accusing the local Ottoman Turkish-backed councils of corruption and calling on them to resign. Despite today’s protest being the third demonstration of its kind in ten days, they have received no response to their demands.

On May 6, doctors and staff at Medina Hospital in Sere Kaniye went on strike after not receiving their salaries for months, and accused the Ottoman Turkish-backed groups of stealing their financial allocations.

In mid-April the city witnessed another protest in front of the local council against the backdrop of deteriorating economic and living conditions.
