Turkish forces intervene to quell the conflict among militias in Tal Abyad.


The city of Tell Abyad in the northern countryside of Raqqa witnessed successive developments following the intense clashes between the Sham Front and the Glory Corps, affiliated with the Third Corps. The recent events reflect a state of tension and instability in the region, requiring residents to confront new challenges and hope for the restoration of the tranquility they have lost.

Currently, the city experiences a cautious calm after the cessation of hostilities, but the challenging circumstances and ongoing tension make it difficult for residents to resume their daily lives. Traffic has been significantly affected by the closure of all entrances and exits to the city by Turkish forces, rendering most roads impassable and exacerbating fear and anxiety among residents who remain confined to their homes, fearing a resurgence of clashes.

The repercussions of the crisis are evident in the power outages and the closure of ovens, adding pressure to the lives of the population. Most commercial shops and markets remain closed, with only a few exceptions, as some traders strive to meet the essential needs of the population. In an attempt to adapt to the current situation, some individuals owning shops near their residences have opened them to fulfill the basic needs of the local population.

On the other hand, the toll of the clashes did not bring reassurance to the residents, with 17 injuries recorded among civilians and military personnel. This highlights the magnitude of the violations and the negative impact on the lives of local residents who find themselves trapped in the midst of escalating conflicts in their region.
