The fascist Turkish state has forcefully removed the democratically elected mayors of three Kurdish cities (under its colonial rule), bringing in its own administration. People have been taking to the streets and last night violent riots erupted. The protests are continuing today.
These actions were last taken by the fascist Turkish state during the time of the urban war in 2016, also being called out as a "coup by trustees".

🔷Turkey: Thousands in Mardin (Mêrdîn), Batman (Êlih), and Halfeti (Xelfetî) protest government-appointed trustees. The police violence and torture stir outrage.

What is happening in #Aleppo?

Background information on HTS and current developments in Aleppo:
Since the 27th November the militia HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) has started an offensive on Aleppo city. HTS emerged out of IS when IS established itself in Syria in 2012 under the current HTS leader Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani. The group later broke with ISIS and affiliated with al-Qaeda, calling itself al-Nusra. It again rebranded itself as a political strategy after 2017, renaming HTS (👇). HTS has set up a 'de facto Islamic state' in Idib region, calling its reign "Salvation Government" (SIG). Acorrding to the Rojava Information Center: "Much like ISIS, HTS conducts morality patrols, arresting young women for failing to follow religious dress codes; young men for shaving or listening to music; and civilian activists for any activity in opposition to HTS’ de facto control of Idlib. HTS’s religious police, known as ‘Sawid Al Khayr’, enforce dress codes and the segregation of males and females on buses and in the streets. HTS conduct public executions for witchcraft and heresy – as well as of ISIS members. Human Rights Watch has documented consistent arbitrary detention and torture of civil society activists who sought to document HTS abuses or protest their rule, as well as assassinations and the restriction of humanitarian aid to civilians living under its rule." International institutions have called it a new offspring of jihadism, calling it "political jihadism", comparing its tactics rather to the #Taliban than #ISIS. Nontheless, some of its fighters have been seen wearing #ISIS patches in the past few days 👇.
HTS has been deepening its relationship with Turkey in the past years, although also having other foreign sponsors. Since 2020 it has been operating together with the Turkish-backed NFL (National Liberation Army), participating in Turkish operations and has recieved training and weapons by Turkey (through NFL common operations). Especially for its economic activities in and out of Idlib it relies on relations with the Turkish state. It has a force of around 15.000-30.000 fighters (2022 estimate)

Situation in Aleppo:
Aleppo is / has been mostly controlled by regime forces with certain areas, the Kurdish neighbourhoods such as Sheikh Maqsood in the north of Aleppo, controlled by SDF forces 👇. As HTS started its offensive on 27th November from the West of Aleppo towards the city, quickly gaining ground as the Syrian regime under Assad (backed by Russia) was defeated. By the evening of 29th November, HTS had taken large parts of the city of Aleppo. As of now different information on the ground exists as of how much of Aleppo is controlled by HTS. SDF had previously stated that we are following the situation closely and are ready to intervene to protect our peole and our soil. Today (30th November) clashes with #SDF forces were reported👇.
