(Zaman Al Wasl)- Dozens of Iraqi men, have arrived Hasakah city across borders, after Kurdish armed groups attacked their villages, and abducted their women and children, activists said on Monday.
Malath Yusuf, an activist, mentioned that Iraqi men from villages of Sibaniyah and aljari were forced to leave their villages after Kurdish armed groups supported by the Peshmerga attacked them in Sunday evening, killed 10 people, arrested all people and separated women and children from men, then men were transferred in vehicles across borders to Syria and released them to reach to areas under the Islamic State control in Eastern Hasakah.
Local sources confirmed that Yazidi armed groups supported by Kurdish Workers’ Party “PKK” had invaded 3 villages of the Arabic Jehaish tribe at the border area to revenge.
Sources confirmed that everything happened under protection of the Peshmerga, where armed groups robbed all they can reach to.
In a relevant content, Nineveh City Council condemned crimes against Arabic villages in Eastern Mosul.
Khalaf al-Hadidi, the City Council’s member said on Mosul's TV: “criminal acts committed by armed militias and illegal groups against civilians in Sinjar territory can widen the sectarian conflict and delay liberating the area”
Peshmerga and PKK support Yazidi armed groups and militias, fighting in Sinjar territory to regain their areas from the Islamic State after controlling them last summer. Those groups practiced unacceptable breaches against Arab people in the region because they hold them responsibility for what the Islamic State did.
