Muslim speculated that the raids on the opposition parties in northeast Syria may have been prompted by the latest Turkish onslaught against their brethren next door. “The atmosphere is very tense here,” Muslim told Al-Monitor. He said that one reason for the anger directed at the KNC was the participation of a KNC-linked militia known as the Roj Peshmerga in the operation against PKK forces. Al-Monitor was unable to independently confirm the claim.
Muslim added that the Asayish had offered to provide security guards to the KNC and its affiliates, but that they had refused “because they do not recognize our administration.”
