Abdi: UN, international community evade their responsibilities towards people of Afrin

The United Nations and the international community are evading their responsibilities towards the residents of Afrin, the Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdi, said on Thursday.

Abdi’s words came, through a tweet he posted on his Twitter account, in tandem with the fourth anniversary of the invasion of the Turkish forces and the Turkish-backed opposition factions of the Afrin region and its countryside.

“The United Nations and the international community are still evading their responsibilities towards the people of Afrin,” Abdi said.

“With four years of occupation, the genocide continue in the olive city of Afrin,” he added.

“Ending the occupation and the safe return of Afrin people to their land and homes is our cause and our responsibility, as it is the cause of every believer in humanity,” according to Abdi.
