Mass destruction of sites in Aleppo is underway, from Afrin to Al-Jouz. Pro-Ankara groups use bulldozers and jackhammers to find treasures to sell on the black market.
They are formally arrested for supporting the Kurdish administration, but the only goal is to raise cash thanks to false bails. Boom of the phenomenon in Aleppo.
Afrin and Sere Kanye are the epicenter. The military build-up in the area and the few resources increase the nervousness of the factions, even towards their allies.
Turkey and allied militias send reinforcements to Tel Abyad. The SAA and SDF do likewise east of Ain Issa. Ankara must drive the enemy away from Idlib, but the price could be very high.
Objective: to grind them and sell the oil, keeping all profits. Afrin's peasants are desperate and are calling for the intervention of the international community.
