People in Northern Syria Protest against Turkish Invasion, Ankara-Backed Militants

Turkish Invasion
A large number of civilians took to the streets in the town of Jarabulus in Northern Aleppo, opposing occupation of their land by Ankara-affiliated militants, a Kurdish media outlet reported on Tuesday.

The Kurdish-language Hawar news reported that residents of the town of Jarabulus took to the streets and called for expulsion of the Local Council appointed by the Turkish Intelligence Service.

The civilians chanted slogans against Turkish invasion and called for the expel of the Turkey-backed militants, Hawar news added.

The demonstrators underscored that Jarabulus must be managed by its own people, it went on to say.

Also on November 20, the Jarabulus civilians protested against the Turkish army for their invasion and for hoisting Turkish flags across their town.

In the meantime, civilians in the town of al-Bab in Northern Aleppo opposed set of a new council in the town and called for the expel of council's members, accusing them of obeying Turkey's orders and that non of the council's members are from the town itself.      

The local population said on Monday that the Turkish Army dispatched more soldiers and military hardware to the country's border with Northern Syria as it was allegedly preparing for an imminent attack on the Kurdish region in the Northern province of Aleppo.

The Kurdish population living in the region reported that a long convoy of Turkish military vehicles, carrying more forces and equipment, has been forwarded to the border with the town of Afrin in Northern Aleppo.

They further said that the convoy consisted of tens of soldiers, armored vehicles, several tanks, cannons and missile launchers, adding that the Turkish army apparently plans to launch the offensive against Afrin from North and North-West.
