Human Rights Watch confirmed that Turkey is behind the ill-treatment in the occupied Syrian territories, and that the Jandris massacre is a continuation of more than five years of human rights violations.
On the eve of the Newroz holiday, the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation state killed 4 citizens from one family in Jandris district of occupied Afrin.
Human Rights Watch said in a report: “Three brothers and the son of one of them were shot dead, while another relative and two others were wounded.”
The organization pointed out that Turkey, as an occupying power and supporting mercenaries operating in the areas under its control in northern Syria, is obligated to investigate these killings and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
The organization also called on Turkey to cut off all support for mercenaries involved in repeated or systematic human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law.
Occupied Afrin, with its districts and villages, is witnessing demonstrations against the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, against the backdrop of a massacre committed by the mercenaries against a family in Jandris district.
PYD councils: International investigation must be opened to hold Turkey accountable for its crimes Today, the councils of the Democratic Union Party in the cities and districts of NE Syria made a joint statement about the massacre committed by the Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries in the Jandris district of occupied Afrin, which claimed the lives of 4 citizens: “Farah al-Din Othman (43 years old) – Ismail Othman ( 38 years old) – Muhammad Ismail Othman (18 years old) – Muhammad Othman (42 years old).
On Wednesday, the Afrin Social Association in the city of Qamishlo made a statement to the world public opinion, condemning the massacre committed by the mercenaries of “Ahrar al-Sharqiya” affiliated with the Turkish occupation on March 20th, against 4 citizens in the Janders district of Afrin canton, for lighting the Newroz flame.
The statement, which was read by the citizen, Jiwan Ahmed, and the citizen, Zuhriban Hussein, was delivered in both languages (English and Arabic) in front of the UNHCR building in the Seyahi neighborhood of Qamishlo, in the presence of dozens of Afrin IDPs, and members of the Afrin Social Association, while banners were raised that read:
” Holding Turkey and its mercenaries accountable”, “Five years of injustice”, “No to the Turkish occupation, no to Brotherhood terrorism”, “No to injustice, yes to freedom”, “Finding a political solution to the Syrian file”, “We condemn and denounce the killing of citizens in Janders”, “Long live the Janders uprising” Janders is not alone.
Early on March 22, a series of Israeli terrorist strikes again hit Aleppo International Airport in northern Syria, placing it out of service for the second time in recent weeks.

The Syrian Arab News Agency, citing a military source, said that the Israeli fighter jets launched several missiles at the airport from over the Mediterranean sea, causing some material losses. The state-run agency didn’t report any casualties, however.
According to a notice sent by Syrian aviation authorities, known as a NOTAM, the runway at the airport was closed after the attack.
In a statement, the Syrian Ministry of Transport said that the airport’s runway and navigation equipment were damaged as a result of the Israeli strikes. All flights scheduled for Aleppo were redirected to the country’s two other international airports in Damascus and Latakia.
Aleppo International Airport was reopened in 2020 after 8 years closed by the War.
Two regional intelligence sources speaking to the Reuters news agency said that the strikes also targeted an underground depot at the adjacent Nairab military airport. The sources said the depot was used to store missile systems which had been delivered by Iranian cargo flights.
The airport is regularly used for Iranian weapons deliveries and the movement of troops, the two unnamed sources claimed.
This was the second confirmed Israeli attack on Aleppo International Airport in recent weeks. On March 7, a series of Israeli terrorist strikes hit the airport, placing it out of service for three days.
The airport has been a major channel for the flow of humanitarian aid into Aleppo since the devastating February 6 Turkish-Syrian earthquake that claimed the lives of more than 50,000 people, including more than 6,000 in Syria.
Israel carried out hundreds of strikes against alleged Iranian weapons storage and personnel deployment positions in Syria over the past decade as a part of a covert military campaign known as “the war between the wars.” Israeli officials have rarely acknowledged responsibility.
The Pentagon and all of the US military commanders know that every time Israel bombs a site in Syria, their troops will be bombed in retaliation by the Syrian resistance. The bombing of the base of the US Army of oil thieves in Hasakah was in retaliation to Israel’s bombing of Aleppo International Airport the day earlier, political analysts affirm.
In response to questions he received during a press conference on Monday about Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin cementing a “new era” in strategic partnership between China and Russia, the White House National Security Council’s John Kirby made no fewer than seven assertions that the US is the “leader” of the world.
“The two countries have grown closer. But they are both countries that chafe and bristle at U.S. leadership around the world.”
“And in China’s case in particular, they certainly would like to challenge U.S. leadership around the world.“
“But these are not two countries that have, you know, decades-long experience working together and full trust and confidence. It’s a burgeoning of late based on America’s increasing leadership around the world and trying to check that.”
“Peter, these are two countries that have long chafed, as I said to Jeff — long chafed at U.S. leadership around the world and the network of alliances and partnerships that we have.”
“And we work on those relationships one at a time, because every country on the continent is different, has different needs and different expectations of American leadership.”
“That’s the power of American convening leadership. And you don’t see that power out of either Russia or China.”
“But one of the reasons why you’re seeing that tightening relationship is because they recognize that they don’t have that strong foundation of international support for what they’re trying to do, which is basically challenge American leadership around the world.”

The illusory truth effect is a cognitive bias which causes people to mistake something they have heard many times for an established fact, because the way the human brain receives and interprets information tends to draw little or no distinction between repetition and truth. Propagandists and empire managers often take advantage of this glitch in our wetware, which is what’s happening when you see them repeating key phrases over and over again that they want people to believe.
We saw another repetition of this line recently at an online conference hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce, in which the US ambassador to China asserted that Beijing must accept the US as the “leader” of the region China happens to occupy.
US empire managers are of course getting very assertive about the narrative that they are the world’s “leader” because that self-appointed “leadership” is being challenged by China, and the nations which support it with increasing openness like Russia.
Most of the major international news stories of our day are either directly or indirectly related to this dynamic, wherein the US is struggling to secure unipolar planetary domination by thwarting China’s rise and undermining its partners.
The message they’re putting out is, “This is our world. We’re in charge. Anyone who claims otherwise is freakish and abnormal, and must be opposed.”
Why do they say the US is the “leader” of the world instead of its “ruler”, anyway? I’m unclear on the difference as practically applied. Is it meant to give us the impression that the US rules the world by democratic vote? That this is something the rest of the world consented to? Because I sure as hell don’t remember voting for it, and we’ve all seen what happens to governments which don’t comply with US “leadership”.
I’m not one of those who believe a multipolar world will be a wonderful thing, I just recognize that it beats the hell out of the alternative, that being increasingly reckless nuclear brinkmanship to maintain global control.
The world was thrown into chaos when a new virus, Covid-19, was declared a pandemic by the government. Fear propaganda was broadcast non-stop on television and radio, all paid for by the government and they used the pandemic as an excuse to pass laws that restricted civil liberties and bribed the public with furlough payments to not go to work.
As the pandemic progressed, the government’s true motives were revealed, as they were found to be putting vulnerable individuals into end-of-life care and administering a drug called midazolam to kill them, while lying to the public by claiming that their deaths were due to the virus.
The consequences of vaccination were also revealed as it was not actually a vaccine, but an experimental gene therapy that had never been used on humans before.
Tragically, as things began to settle, the true consequences of the Covid-19 injection roll-out were realised.
The fully vaccinated accounted for over 9 in every 10 deaths associated with the virus, and mortality rates per 100,000 were lowest among the unvaccinated and highest among the vaccinated in every age group.
Two years after the initial roll-out, 20 million deaths had been recorded in the “Five Eyes” countries and 26 other countries in Europe, resulting in 2 million excess deaths. This was a huge increase on deaths recorded throughout the pandemic prior to the vaccine roll-out.
In Europe, there was a huge increase in excess deaths among children aged 0 to 14-, as soon as the vaccine was approved for children by the EMA. The very “vaccine” that was supposed to protect them had the opposite effect, and many parents were left devastated after falling for the coercive lies which resulted in the loss of their children’s lives.
Meanwhile, in the USA, half a million deaths among children and young adults were recorded following the Covid-19 injection roll-out, resulting in 120,000 excess deaths. This highlights the severe impact that the vaccine had on the young and healthy and the devastating loss of life caused by the vaccine.
The world was thrown into chaos when fear propaganda began to be broadcast non-stop on television and radio, all paid for by the government.
They claimed that a new virus called Covid-19 was causing a pandemic and persuaded the public to go into lockdown multiple times through fear porn and bribes such as furlough payments to not go to work.
Do you remember the scenes broadcast on mainstream news channels, and plastered across the front pages at the start of 2020?
Infamous images of Chinese medical officials in hazmat suits collecting bodies off the pavements of Wuhan, where we were told they had collapsed and died in the street because of a new strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19.
The scenes have not been replicated anywhere else, confirming that it was all a lie and propaganda, used to whip up hysteria and justify the introduction of medical tyranny across the world, in the name of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Nevertheless, the vast majority of the general public fell for the propaganda and were left feeling trapped and alone, as they watched their livelihoods and savings disappear.
Mental health issues skyrocketed, and children were left feeling hopeless as they watched their parents struggle. So hopeless that they were attempting suicide due to unsubstantiated fears of Covid-19 fueled by the Government’s fear propaganda.
Consultant Dave Greenhorn confirmed that back in March 2021, he and fellow NHS staff at Bradford Royal Infirmary were regularly seeing youngsters who had attempted suicide or taken overdoses due to the stress of being terrified of family members catching Covid-19.
The race to escalate the war in Ukraine carried on by the NATO countries continues with constant provocations that seem made on purpose to unleash theFirst World Atomic War.
While the White House has already warned Kiev not to accept peace proposals from China after the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, an even more dangerous announcement comes from the United Kingdom.
UK Minister of State for Defense Annabel Goldie said on Tuesday that London would provide Ukraine with armor piercing shells for the Challenger 2 main battle tanks it has decided to send to Kiev, including depleted uranium ammunition.
