How curious! One wonders specifically which ones they are.

~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey

...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
has recently established a new settlement in the Yazidi village of Shadere in Sherawa district in Afrin’s southern countryside, northwest Syria, according to a media outlet.

The settlement, that was opened on May 8, is named Umm Tuba after the Paleostinian Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem part of Sur Baher, the neighborhood of the funders, and includes 60 apartments the sources added.

In March, the so-called Basma settlement was established by Living with Dignity Association’ (Jamia’at al-Aish Bikarama) in Shadere. The settlement was co-funded with Kuwaiti and ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish state-sponsored groups, as well as Moslem Brüderbund-linked associations from the US and Britannia. What remains of the original Yazidi population has been forced to attend Islamic education by local factions, under threat of force.

The number of families who live in the abovementioned settlements has reached about 281 ones, including 1,700 people, according to the sources.

The two settlements were established by White Hands Association, affiliated with Turkey, and Living with Dignity Association of the Arab citizens of Israel (48-Palestien).

Turkey has built more than 19 settlements in Afrin region through using organizations like Living with Dignity Association, White Hands (Beyaz Eller), Rahma International Society, and other organizations which are funded by Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
and Kuwait.

While the number of settlements built by Turkey with the support of Gulf countries, most notably Kuwait and Qatar, and Paleostinian associations, has exceeded more than 100 in ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish-occupied areas in northern Syria, according to North Press’ own investigations.

The formerly Kurdish-majority region of Afrin has been under ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish occupation since 2018 following a military operation dubbed "Olive Branch" to push away the Kurdish People’s/Women’s Protection Units (YPG/YPJ) under the pretext of protecting the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish national security.

The invasion displaced around 300,000 indigenous Kurds. Turkey and its affiliated opposition factions of the Syrian National Army (SNA), replaced the population with Arabs fleeing other parts of Syria. Kurds in Afrin are subject to systemic discrimination and violence.

#6 /\ ... He was a minority Alawite, a sect the Ikhwan considered un-Islamic. That was enough for the 'ultra-Sunni' Muslim Brotherhood.

#5 “Arab Nation” Socialists — the Ba’ath Party was modelled on the Nazis before they lost their war. Saddam Hussein’s branch of the Ba’athists ditto. In many ways so was the Ikhwan — except for the atheism, of course. Both attempted to answer the failures of the traditional caliphates/sultates, particularly in Egypt, Iraq, Turkey

#4 So, the Assad clan was an enemy of the Muzzist Bruderbund, but still not my friend.

#3 When the Baath Party seized power in 1963, the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) days were numbered. The Baath then included in their ranks Hafez Al-Assad. He was a minority Alawite, a sect the Ikhwan considered un-Islamic.
As Minister of Defense Assad launched a coup in 1970; after that, the Baath Party remained in power but under Assad's thumb. He put his brother Rifaat al-Asad, in his cabinet.
When Assad backed the Maronite Christians in the Lebanese civil war that began in July 1976, the Brotherhood declared a jihad against the Alawite leader. By 1979 the Syrian Ikhwan had at least 30,000 members. Assad then tried to get along with Brothers but the effort failed. In Jan 1980 the Ikhwan was charged with assassination attempt on Assad. Assad forced the Syrian parliamnent to declare membership in the Ikhwan a capital offense.
Rifaat in February 1982 used tanks to carry-out the destruction of Hama, an Ikhwan stronghold. Some 1,300 Ikhwan were imprisoned and in all as many as 30,000 were killed in the assault and in subsequent attacks. Brothers who could escape did, and the Syrian Ikhwan dispersed throughout the Middle East and into Europe.
They have yet to return in numbers. That Turkey is playing with fire is obvious, but it now serves as the home for the Intl. Ikhwan al-Muslimeen and the attempt to recreate the Ikhwan in Syria now seems underway.

#2 'The Syrian dictator was greeted like the returning prodigal son': After the sickening sight of Bashar al-Assad being brought back into the global fold MARK ALMOND asks, how long before Vladimir Putin is glad-handed again?
