Two refugee families return from Turkey to their hometown in the Mabata town of Afrin

ARK News… Displaced and refugee Kurdish families continue to return to their hometown of Afrin, its towns and villages.

A source from Mabata town, on Monday, September 11, 2023, said that two Kurdish families have returned to their hometown in Mabata town in Afrin, Syrian Kurdistan.

The source confirmed that the two families returned from Turkey to the town.

The past few months witnessed an unprecedented return of displaced Kurdish families in Aleppo and the displaced in al-Shahba camps, as well as refugees in Lebanon, Turkey and the Kurdistan Region.

After the Afrin war, more than 300,000 Kurds were displaced to al-Shahba camps, and became victims of the PYD administration's policy, which prevents the displaced from making their decision to return or head towards Aleppo and other areas.

Despite the terrible violations taking place in Afrin, the displaced Kurds decided to return to their hometown, especially after more than five years have passed since they stayed in the camps in the countryside of Aleppo.

Politicians call for the need to return to limit demographic change in the region.
