As the people of Syria are celebrating today in #Qamishlo the end of the years-long war against ISIS, we are no longer reporting from the ground in #Baghouz. But we are happy to announce that we are preparing an in-depth multimedia report on the "End of the Caliphate" Image
As part of this report, we will be looking more closely at the #SDF history and question the future of North-East Syria. Here as a preview, a member of the #Raqqa forces of SDF, freestyle singing a song of celebration on their way back from the front.
You can still keep up to date on the military, political and cultural realities of North-East Syria by reading our weekly reports. Here is the latest one:

In Tabqa, Kongra Star coordinator Shiraz Hemo:

"IDPs are now pouring into NES. SNA factions have harassed & harmed women. In one incident, a group took a 3-year-old from his mother. Women have witnessed the killing, slaughtering & injuring of people."
Image
"It took 2-3 days for people to reach NES. During that time, women experienced incredibly dangerous and traumatic circumstances. They saw their husbands, brothers, and sisters being beaten - this is severe harm. And some have also been kidnapped."
"As a woman who has lived through the painful experience of displacement, I know first-hand how difficult it is. We all know that during displacement, women are often the most affected and face the greatest challenges, especially when it comes to taking care of their children."

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have been advancing and gaining territories from the Syrian government in the southern and eastern countryside of Aleppo since November 26 - the most significant conflict following a 2020 ceasefire brokered between Turkey and Russia. Image
The SDF have been deployed to the DAANES-controlled neighborhoods of Aleppo, Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafiye. These neighborhoods are home to tens of thousands of Kurds and have maintained autonomy from both Assad and HTS despite heavy fighting throughout the conflict.
The Syrian government has been retreating from some areas. There are reported 200+ casualties to date including executed students.

DAANES is facilitating the return of over 2,000 residents from Sheikh Maqsood into contiguous regions under SDF/DAANES control.

AANES foreign relations dept. co-chair, Bedran Jiya Kurd:

"The theories Turkey are advancing [Ankara attackers coming from Syria] are not true. Turkey wants to legitimize its attacks. The primary aim of the attacks is to destroy our people's existence."

Image
"These attacks are war crimes. All intl. agreements, the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols, say civilian infrastructure and civilians should not be a target. It is forbidden. But as has been seen, Turkey violates this. No other states raise their voice against this."
"Turkey wants to create refugees, change the identity of this region. This is a mode of genocide. Murder, creating poverty and hunger, cutting off water, cutting off the essentials of life, aim to destroy our people, make them refugees, make that no one can live in this land."

Yesterday, Iraq's Ministry of Migration and Displacement announced the repatriation of 584 people from al-Hol camp, marking Iraq's first repatriation mission since October. The camp's Iraqi population now stands at 26,875, comprising over half of the total inhabitants.
Those leaving al-Hol camp will be sent to al-Jada camp in Iraq's Nineveh governorate. With this most recent repatriation mission, the total number of Iraqi citizens repatriated from NES since 2017 rises to 11,484. This includes those repatriated from prisons as well as camps.
A few days after Iraq's new government, under PM Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, was sworn in on October 27th, the Minister of Migration & Displacement suspended the return of displaced Iraqis from al-Hol camp, citing the need for a more robust humanitarian and security mechanism.
