ISIS may exploit SDF preoccupation with Turkish escalation
QAMISHLI, Syrian (North Press) – Management of northeast Syria camps said on Saturday that Roj and Hawl camps housing ISIS families pose threats to Syria and the world.
In a statement, the management of Roj camp noted to the recent Turkish escalation that could lead to further breaks from the two camps.
The statement indicated that as Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are preoccupied with the Turkish escalation; ISIS may exploit the current situation to reorganize itself again.
The management denounced the Turkish attacks and the international silence towards that. The call to a no-fly zone to protect the region from Turkish attacks was renewed.
Earlier, Sheikhmous Ahmad, head of the IDPs and Refugees’ Affairs Office of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) held the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and its dependent organizations accountable for what is taking in the camps and in particular at the Hawl Camp.
The AANES was first formed in 2014 in the Kurdish-majority regions of Afrin, Kobani and Jazira in northern Syria following the withdrawal of the government forces. Later, it was expanded to Manbij, Tabqa, Raqqa, Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor after the SDF defeated ISIS militarily there.
