They’re Turkish catspaws. Theft and mayhem is what they do.
[NPASyria] Disaster of the Feb. 6 earthquake has given a favorable opportunity for the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian armed opposition factions, also known as the Syrian National Army (SNA), in areas northwest Syria, especially Afrin, to make fortune, exploiting aid meant for the people affected by the earthquake.

Recently, talks have increased about establishing temporary shelters under the pretext of housing those affected by the earthquake on transit routes on which international aid convoys travel a step many saw as another way to steal the aid since they also accommodate people who have not been affected by the quake.

Kamiran Ali, 39, a pseudonym for a resident of the town of Jindires in the west of Afrin, said the [Ottoman Turkish-backed] local council in the town, in the first days of the earthquake, hurried to establish a temporary shelter in a driving school on Jindires-Afrin route.
