The Kurdish community in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, on Sunday, September 28, 2024, held a solidarity stand with the Kurdish city of Afrin against the ongoing crimes of genocide, settlement and demographic change, in addition to the looting, theft and robbery of the property of the indigenous people, the seizure of their agricultural lands, and the repeated attacks on the people, carried out by armed factions such as the Amshat.

During the stand, the Kurdistan community expressed its solidarity with the women of Kakhire village in Afrin city in Syrian Kurdistan, who defended their right to life and dignity.

America imposed sanctions on two factions in August 2023, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the “al-Amshat” faction and its leader, Muhammad Hussein al-Jassim, nicknamed “Abu Amsha,” and the “Al-Hamzat” faction and its leader, Saif Polad, nicknamed “Abu Bakr,” for committing “serious human rights violations in Afrin,” in Syrian Kurdistan.

The Afrin city and its seven towns are currently under the control of the Turkish forces and the “National Army” of the Syrian Opposition, after it left the control of the “Self-Administration” of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) on March 18, 2018, since then violations continue.
