As Reported by Qods News Agency (Qodsna) Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that the residents of Nis Tal Village staged a protest on the road linking Tell Brak Village and the city of Qamishli on Friday against the practices of the SDF militants, including the reported kidnapping of civilians.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

According to the report, the protesters burnt tires and cut off the road, demanding an end to the arbitrary practices and the release of the abducted people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The report said that the SDF militants frequently abduct civilians in the countryside of Hasakah and Dayr al-Zawr in order to terrorize people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Over the past few months, several rallies have been held in northern and eastern Syria in protest against the SDF militants, calling for their expulsion from the region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

On May 13, the Syrian Foreign Ministry wrote letters to the United Nations (UN)’s secretary-general and the head of the Security Council, saying that the SDF should be compelled to respect the world body’s<\/p>\r\n\r\n

resolutions that assert Syria’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The US has long been providing the SDF with arms and calls them a key partner in the purported fight against the Daesh terrorist group. Many observers, however, see the support in the context of Washington’s plans to carve out a foothold in the Arab country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

That support has also angered Washington’s NATO ally Turkey, which views the militants of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) — the backbone of the SDF — as a terrorist organization tied to the homegrown Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
