A mother looking for her 14-year-old girl who was abducted in Afrin under invasion, stated that dozens of girls are held captive and raped by Turkish forces and allied gangs.

The Turkish state and gangs are committing a war crime against women and girls in Afrin which is under their invasion. A mother who revealed the savagery while looking for her 14-year-old missing girl says; “What was done in Shengal is being done here now. The whole world must see this vileness.”

Invasion attacks of the Turkish state and jihadist gangs derived from ISIS and Al-Qaeda against Afrin Canton of Northern Syria continue for the third month. The savagery continues during genocidal attacks following the invasion of the city with the ultimate goal of de-Kurdifying the region. More war crimes are being committed in the region under invasion on daily basis. Looting the houses and shops of the people, eradicating traces of Kurdishness, shooting people on the streets, Turkish invaders and affiliated gangs are also targeting women. What was done by ISIS in Shengal before, where women were taken captive and subjected to systematic rape, is being done by Turkish forces in Afrin today.

ABDUCTION, CAPTIVITY, RAPE

According to reports, dozens of girls and women have been abducted so far in the Afrin city which was invaded on March 18. Those abducted are being held in some houses near the Vilayat Street in the city center, and subjected to systematic sexual assaults by Turkish soldiers.

WITNESS STATEMENTS CONFIRM THE ALLEGATIONS

A civilian residing in Afrin’s Mahmudiyah neighborhood, whom we will not mention by name for security reasons, told the following; “They have entered our houses and took all our valuable belongings since the day they came. They took all the gold, white goods and everything else away loading them on trucks. Then they gathered the people who remained in the city, and separated men and women in different areas. We were hearing the screams of women. I do not know what they did to them. They tortured us men, saying “you are supporters of terrorists, we will take all your belongings and women.”

SOME WERE NOT SET FREE

We were released after two days without food and water but some girls and women did not return. They were taken somewhere else and we do not know where. Two girls ages 14-15 are among those they took away.”

LEARNED ABOUT THE SITUATION WHILE LOOKING FOR HER DAUGHTER

The witness stated that the two girls, whom they have not heard about since March 22, are named F.H. and H.A.

Mother of H.A., whom we talked on the phone, stated that they have been trying secretly to find the two girls for days, and in the meantime they met with several families who have not heard from their girls either.

The mother told that women cannot go out in the street, so they wear burqa and look for their daughters.

“While looking for my daughter, I found out that many other girls are missing. As much as I myself learned, there are 15 girls missing and they are aged between 14 and 20. This is the number I have managed to find out only in the neighborhood I live.”

SHENGAL PRACTICE OF ISIS

According to what the mother has managed to learn from an Arab family that has close relations with the Turkish soldiers and gangs in the city, the abducted girls and women are held in some houses near Vilayat Street in the city center.

“They are keeping our children here. They have settled in the houses in that area and are not allowing anyone to approach there. What ISIS did in Shengal is being done here now. Our children are held captive and they are raped by the gangs. The world must see this vileness.”

TOURING THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND GATHERING YOUNG GIRLS

Another resident, an Arab in his/her own statement, confirmed the statements of the witness we spoke to, and the war crimes committed by the invading Turkish army and gangs in Afrin, telling; “A gang leader from the Turkish-affiliated Hamza Brigade is touring the neighborhoods and gathering young girls. They are taking these girls to the houses on Vilayat Street, presenting them to Turkish officers and gang members.”

Turkey has Twitter silencing this article. The URL is refused when you try to post it on Twitter, both from inside Syria and inside the U.S. You get an error message that "something is wrong". (Yep, Something very bad is wrong.)

The article is the truth of what is happening in Afrin since Turkey's FSA jihadi's (ISIS, al Qaeda & others) have taken over. I'm 100% certain this is true, from sources that I have years of contacts with.

I managed to get it posted on Twitter one time with tiny url bit shortner.

This is being silenced by pressure on Twitter.

And what does NATO and the EU have to say about Erdogan? Silence and averted gazes. Turkey is committing war crimes and, once again, Europe looks away.

This is the Anfal, the spoils of war, in the view of the jihadis.

Rape and enslavement of captives were among the biggest incentives that Muhammad offered his recruits, for participating in his early raids and later conquests.

In this report, they state that Turkish Military officers are participating in the rapes. We can’t tell the degree that may or may not be true, but it reflects an ominous islamistization of the Turkish Military if true, and if it is not prosecuted by their chain of command.

That phenomena occurred in Pakistan, where officers with relatively Western values/morality, led by Sandhurst graduates, has been replaced over time with an increasingly islamist orientation among their officer corps.

A fish rots from the head down.

Women captured in battle are made into slaves under Islam and Erdogan is committed to becoming the Sultan of that foul cult. Just another day for Mad Moe’s Mafia.

Heavenly Father, We stand guilty as a nation not bringing to the forefront these atrocities. Instead all sorts of empty nonsense headline our news and social media. Please put this situation in the hearts and minds of our government and people. It is by Your Grace we are not seeing such magnitude of persecution in our country. We plead for Your mercy and protection on the innocent being tortured and killed. We give You all the Glory, Heavenly Father. Your Son Jesus paid the price for all of our sins. We know we are on this earth a little while and then we will by our choice live an everlasting life in heaven or an everlasting death in hell. We pray for Your supernatural intervening in the lives of the persecuted. In Jesus Name, Amen

“We did arm Turkey.”

Turkey has one of the most advanced arms industries on Earth - they are about the tenth biggest exporter of light firearms, and are participating in production of the World’s most advanced jet fighter (F-35).

Their history of a significant domestic arms industry goes back to the days of Ottoman military supremacy in the region, and was industrialized largely under the tutelage of Germany, with whom Turkey was allied in WWI, and upon whose model the Turks reformed their military.

After the arms embargoes placed on Turkey for their incursions into Cyprus (1960’s-70’s), Turkey embarked on a deliberate State program to develop an independent domestic defense capability, which continues to this day.

Turkey’s most technically advanced capabilities (to integrate into NATO operations) are dependent upon Western resupply in the mid to long term, but they can produce and maintain tanks, artillery and unlimited ammunition on their own.

US military aid to Turkey zeroed out in 1993 (a quarter century ago), as the country developed economically, and the Cold War ended.

Young non-combatant girls are being kidnapped, raped and taken as sex slave.

The world must be made to understand this is being done under the control of a NATO “ally”.

Twitter is preventing this being posted on their network.

Need I say more?

Thanks for that observation.

I do not doubt anything in the article. If it were not true, I would not have been told about it. It was impossible to post on Twitter using the original source URL from both in Syria and from inside the U.S. (I tried, suceed 1 time with tiny URL bit shortener. Suspect that is no longer workable either)
