SDF spokesperson, Kino Gabriel has released a statement addressed to the public. In this statement, Kino shares that “despite the commitment of our forces to the cease-fire agreement and their withdrawal from all cease-fire regions, the Turkish government and its allied terrorist factions are still violating the cease-fire agreement and still continuing its genocidal war against our people and our lands.”
Regarding ongoing attacks, Kino shared that “Turkish-backed terrorist factions have waged a vast ground attack on Almanajir, Alasadyah and Almusherfah villages which are outside the ceasefire region. These three villages were subjected to artillery bombardment and ground incursion which resulted in displacement of thousands of civilians. However, our forces are still clashing with the terrorists until this moment.”
Highlighting the SDF’s commitment to the cease-fire and their legitimate right to defend themselves, Kino highlighted that the deterioration of the cease-fire operation is now the responsibility of the Turkish state. Furthermore, Kino called upon the America, the guarantor of the deal, to intervene immediately to “stop this aggression against our people.”
