In a previous post, I reported on the Kurdish village of Cilbirê as a locality in the Afrin region that lies in ruins and to which its original inhabitants are barred from returning on account of the presence of a Turkish military base.

Unfortunately, it is not the only case of its sort in the Afrin region.
