The “Afrin-Syria Human Rights Organization” reported that Uyghur elements opened fire on Kurdish citizens in the village of Maaraska, located in Sharan sub-district in the countryside of Afrin, on Friday, August 29, 2025, after demanding that the residents evacuate their houses seized by the Uyghurs.
As perFor decisionThree Uyghur families were “resettled” in houses owned by forcibly displaced Kurdish citizens: lawyer Bashir Haj Yousef, Farouk Adel, Munir Muhammad, and Farouk Haj Topal, all of whom are from the village of Maaraska. These homes were recently taken over, the report noted.
The organization stated that the people of the village demanded the evacuation of their homes seized by Uyghur elements and their families, but the Uyghur elements “opened fire on the people to disperse them and spread terror in their hearts,” with the aim of “preventing them from claiming their homes again,” according to the report. The organization added that the Uyghur elements “claimed that they are forced to live in the village now and will leave it until their conditions improve.”
The report quoted local sources as saying that Uyghur elements “seek to resettle more of their families in the village of Maaraska”, under the supervision of the “Turkish Intelligence and the Hamzat Division supported by it”, after the evacuation of houses from settlers from the village of Meng in the northern countryside of Aleppo. The organization considered this step as part of the “systematic demographic change in the countryside of Afrin”.
