Following their agreement with @UN to eliminate underage recruitment, SDF (@cmoc_sdf) has:

📌Demobilized 51 female minors and placed them in a private academy

📌Demobilized 30 male & 5 female minors and returned them home

📌Turned away 254 potential recruits for being underage Image
📌Evacuated 12 schools used as military bases and handed them over to education authorities

📌Trained 243 SDF and 176 Asayish (internal security) officers to assist with these processes

📌Allowed UN to inspect the girls' academy and Al-Houri center for ISIS-linked children
The UN Special Representative for Children in Armed Conflict met virtually with SDF commander @MazloumAbdi, YPJ and AANES to praise their efforts.

They also discussed AANES' deradicalization programs for ISIS-linked children and the urgent need for foreign states to assist. ImageImage
Most young girls who join YPJ are fleeing abusive family situations or forced marriage, hence the disproportionate number of young women among the demobilized soldiers.

SDF have thus established a specialist academy for girls unable to return home despite demobilization.

Turkish airstrikes on the civilian gathering at the Tishreen Dam today killed 4 people & injured 15.

Since demonstrations at the dam began 10 days ago, Turkish strikes targeting the convoys and dam have killed a total of 12 civilians and wounded 70.
On 08/01, the first convoy departed. Turkey targeted the convoy while it was on the road, killing 3 civilians and injuring 15. Turkish strikes continued as the convoy proceeded to reach the dam. Image
Image
"We wanted to highlight the dangers facing the dam. Turkish strikes could trigger its collapse - which would be catastrophic for millions," convoy participant Ahmed told RIC. "Turkish planes hit the head of the convoy. The attacks did not stop, really close to the convoy."

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."
