Intense Clashes in Afrin: Al-Jawlani’s Ahrar Soufan Group Attacks Residents Over Industrial Shop Rents

Afrin, June 30, 2024 — Violent clashes erupted in Afrin as Al-Jawlani’s affiliated group, Ahrar Soufan, known as Abu Salmo’s groups, attacked residents of Hayan over industrial shop rents. The conflict, which left several injured, including two members of the military police who intervened to mediate, has temporarily ceased following police intervention.

Incident Overview

The conflict began when Ahrar Soufan, acting under Al-Jawlani’s orders, attempted to collect elevated rents and fees from industrial shop owners. Tensions escalated when the group approached an elderly Kurdish man who protested the increased fees. Ahrar Soufan members responded by beating the elderly man.

Local youth from Hayan, witnessing the assault, intervened to defend the elderly Kurdish man. In response, Ahrar Soufan opened fire, resulting in multiple injuries among the residents and military police.

Current Situation

Following the violent outbreak, residents have taken control of the Qaban Roundabout and are moving towards the Kawa Roundabout. Ahrar Soufan, overwhelmed by the residents’ resistance, has requested a meeting to quell the scandal.

The military police have managed to halt the immediate clashes, but the underlying tensions remain high as both sides await further negotiations.

Background

This incident highlights the ongoing struggles in Afrin, where various factions vie for control and influence, often at the expense of local residents. The intervention by the local youth underscores the community’s resistance against external pressures and their willingness to protect vulnerable members of their society.

The situation remains fluid, with the potential for further conflict if a satisfactory resolution is not reached.
