(Zaman Al Wasl)- Powerful Kurdish PYD militia allowed 50 displaced families to return back home in the village of Tel Hamam in the northeastern province of Hasaka, local activists said Monday.
After three years of displacement, people of Tel Hamam arrived the village. The Democratic Union Party (PYD) said the delay was due to security and military reasons.
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces seized the village after clearing it from the radical Daesh group. But its fighters stayed in it for almost a year before leaving to Shaitat area in Deir Ezzor province.
The PYD has allowed about 2000 Arab families to return to their villages in al-Haul and Tel Brack in the eastern countryside of Hasaka.
Human rights activists accused the Kurdish militias of following a demographic change in northeastern Syria.
