13 Albanians are in ISIS camps and the Kurds threaten not to longer protect them

Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria have told the BBC they might be forced to stop guarding camps holding Islamic State militants and their relatives. The Syrian Democratic Forces have announced that they no longer have the capacity to guard these camps, due to the attack by the Turkish army. According to information from "A2 CNN", there are also 13 Albanians in one of these camps, Al-Hawl, Koha reports.

Turkey has conducted several operations in the region, after a bomb attack in Istanbul that killed six people and injured dozens more. The Turkish state blames Kurdish forces for supporting terrorists, which has also strained relations with the United States.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) consists mainly of Kurdish militants, which the US supports with weapons. They have denied any involvement in the attack in Istanbul.

The head of the Syrian Democratic Forces, General Mazloum Abdi, told the BBC that Turkish military operations would help revive the terrorist organization ISIS.

"This would lead to a second civil war in Syria and our operations against ISIS would be disrupted. We fought and defeated ISIS in cooperation with the international coalition, while now Turkey will undermine the whole effort," he said.

Al-Hawl is the largest camp where ISIS militants and their families are held. According to the BBC, over 50,000 people live there, over 60 percent of who are women and children.

Abdi warned that if Turkish attacks continued, it would directly affect the ability of his forces to secure the camp.

"We will be busy protecting our people and we will not be able to guard the camps. The Turkish authorities have targeted civilian settlements, and electricity or oil production stations. This will lead to mass displacement of people," Abdi said.

This year in May, Albania, and Kosovo carried out the latest operation to repatriate their citizens from Syria and Iraq. The authorities announced that four women and nine children between the ages of 6 and 16 from Albania arrived at Pristina's "Adem Jashari" airport together with other citizens of Kosovo who escaped from those wicked camps.

The repatriation operation of Albanian citizens from former conflict zones in Syria and Iraq was carried out within the framework of bilateral Albanian-Kosovo cooperation and with the support of US partners through coordination with their diplomatic headquarters in Pristina and Tirana.
