Ahrar al-Sharqiya arrested Division 20 fighters (both are Turkish-backed Syrian factions), in Efrîn. Ahrar accused the Division 20 of being behind a car bombings today in Suluk, Raqqa, which killed Ahrar & Division 20 fighters & Turkish officers. Tensions in al-Bab & Suluk too.
Ahrar al-Sharqiya took over the bases of Division 20 in al-Bab & Efrîn after clashes between the 2 Turkish-backed factions. Tensions have been brewing between them for months & today's car bomb attack, unlikely to have been deployed by Division 20, is being used as a pretext.
Ahrar al-Sharqiya has also overrun the HQ of Division 20 in Suluk, Raqqa. Division 20 was established in 2018 with Turkish support by fighters who were defeated by ISIS in Deir Ezzor, fled to the Qalamoon Mountains, then were defeated by the regime & bussed to northern Syria.
Ahrar al-Sharqiya took over the base of Division 20 in Mabrouka, Hassakeh. Due to tribal ties between some of the fighters & imbalance of power, fighters in Hassakeh defected from Division 20. Convoys of Ahrar attackers passed unhindered through Turkish checkpoints.pic.twitter.com/EgCqW5SSQ1
يبدو ان طريق تحرير دير الزور عند أحرار الشرقية يمر من مقرات الفرقة عشرين
اي وتحرير دمشق بيمر ع طريق رأس العين
Hard to see them as anything else than savages.
Even I’m getting confused here with all these different Turkish backed jihadist factions.
