= extermination of the environment:
Since the militias of the Syrian-Brotherhood coalition trampled the occupied lands of Afrin and settled hundreds of thousands of newcomers there, the massive attacks on forests, forestry and fruitful trees also began, with extensive cutting and fires, destroying virgin natural forests and agricultural ones, for the purpose of logging, coal industry and trade.
And with each winter, the cutting increases. In Shara district, agro-forestry trees are cut down in the valleys of "Ekidam", "Omra" and "Gema", and the militias unfairly cut down hundreds of olive trees in the vicinity of the town of "Madanki". In Rajo district, the "Al-Sham Legion" militia cut down 50 pistachio trees belonging to "Brim Qadir, Fawzi Hassan, Mustafa Hussein Muhammad" and about 60 perennial oak trees in a cemetery west of Jaqmaq al-Kabeer village.
Ending the tragedy of Afrin and its people is not done by begging and pleading with the occupier and his clients, nor by those formal committees that, if they solve a problem, many other violations will occur on the same day, and the bulk of their work is to whitewash the militias' page... Rather, by ending the presence of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries.
