Shop keeper I spoke to from Afrin. "I fled from Aleppo to Afrin. Then (after Turkey took #Afrin) everything was stolen and I lost everything and had to flee again. I want to go to Holland. Help me. There is no future in Syria"
Another civilian from Afrin claimed Turkish army is not doing anything to stop looting and stealing by groups. They just want Kurds to leave. Moreover regime dont allow Kurds from Afrin to go Aleppo. So if they want to go Aleppo they have to pay FSA groups to bring them Manbij
Than from Manbij to Qamishli. Than fly from Qamishli to Damascus and then go Aleppo. Only rich people can afford this.
No civilian I spoke to believes the Turkish led campaign against thieves and looters in #Afrin that happened few weeks ago. Courts and Turkish army do nothing they say. When they complain about groups there is a risk they will tell the groups and get arrested
So many people from "Afrin want to return (if Turkish backed groups leave). They keep asking me if it will be possible in the future. "Afrin was a heaven. There was a lot of work"
I don't have a crystal ball to predict the future though. Some think Afrin will be like Cyprus
