This came in tandem with the arrest of three people from the area a week ago by the factions. They were released a few days later after paying ransom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The source noted that the Sham Legion faction agreed to allow farmers to collect the olive harvest but in return for granting them 60 percent of the harvest. Many refused to do so and fear of not being able to gather the harvest this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early October, by the start of the olive harvest season, a local source in Afrin <a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/105445\/\">revealed<\/a> that the Sultan Suleiman Shah faction, also known as the al-Amshat, started imposing royalties in US dollars on local olive farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a report by the Monitoring and Documentation Department of North Press, around 5,030 olive trees and 2,060 pomegranate trees were cut down and the rest are fruit and forest trees. Most of the trees were chopped down for logging and sale in markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afrin has been under the occupation of Turkey and the SNA factions since 2018 following a military operation dubbed \u201cOlive Branch\u201d against the Kurdish People\u2019s Protection Units (YPG) under the pretext of preserving Turkey\u2019s national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation caused the displacement of about 300,000 of the original inhabitants of the Kurds of Afrin who have been taking shelter in 42 villages and five camps in Aleppo northern countryside, locally known as Shahba region, since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Mo&#8217;ayed al-Sheikh<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFRIN, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Two factions of the Turkish-backed armed opposition, aka the Syrian National Army (SNA), prevented the locals in the southern and southeastern countryside of Afrin, northwestern Syria, from collecting the olive harvest.
