Kurdish Democratic Union seizes properties in Raqqa, Hasakah

The Democratic Union Party’s Autonomous-administration continued the seizure of state homes and residential areas in the northeastern provinces of al-Raqqa and Hasakah.

One of those affected told Zaman Al-Wasl that the Autonomous Administration asked 4 families to vacate the apartments directly, while they were still waiting for what would happen in the building consisting of 8 apartments.

The other buildings also warned 3-4 apartments in each building to evacuate the homes directly, but the families are still present, noting that the building behind their homes was evacuated weeks ago and the apartments were occupied by people from the "Autonomous Administration side."

The campaign "Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently" stated that the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF calls on residents of some houses in the Euphrates Association in the Al-Dir'iya neighborhood, west of the city of Raqqa, to vacate their homes under the pretext of their ownership of "the state."

The campaign indicated that on 07 November 2020 evening patrols were sent to inform the residents of 24 apartments of the need to evacuate their places quickly.

The party administration prohibits housing in state-owned buildings without renewing their contracts on the basis of the transfer of their ownership to them, and it also prohibits construction on land usufructs acquired by farmers within the framework of the Agrarian Reform Law.

The Autonomous Administration also warned the residents of the Officers' housing in the Al-Omran neighborhood and demanded that they evacuate them within two days, despite the fact that the housing is private property and the price for it was paid in favor of the Military Housing Corporation, according to a local source.

These apartments are homes in residential associations of the military who paid their salaries for 30 years and held private property since 2002 after they were disowned by assets and by a court decision and who are owned by the purchase of regular purchase contracts.

During the past month, the "Asayiş" militia expelled the families of employees of the governmental "Rusafa and Rudco" companies from the "Al-Nashwa Sharia" housing, along with dozens of families, from the police housing in the "Gweran" neighborhood, south of Hasaka.
