More than once we have touched on the practices of the so-called Muhammad al-Jasim, alias Abu Amsha, the leader of the militia called “Sultan Suleiman Shah al-Amshat,” who controls the security and military of Shia district, in addition to the village of Kakhera (administratively affiliated to Maabatli district). Despite this, he comes out from time to time with new decisions that are compatible with the economic interests and personal benefits he achieves through the robbery, looting and robbery with the power of the Turkish occupation government’s weapons, imposing royalties and collecting ransoms as a result of kidnappings carried out by his followers.
Since the beginning of the olive season for this year, the so-called Muhammad Al-Jassim has issued several decisions, according to which he determined the percentages of the olive crop, which he seizes the vast majority of those percentages if he does not take them completely, so he set 15% of the harvest of the forcibly displaced people, in addition to a sum of money. The amount of $ 8 for each tree in exchange for allowing the harvest – seizing the olive harvest for the displaced people accused of belonging to the Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD) _ and imposing a sum of $ 2 for each tree in exchange for allowing the people in their villages – and deducting 1/8 The daily wages of workers after determining the hour of work in a financial amount of 500 Syrian pounds _ and about 0.5 half a dollar of the empty oil tank price estimated at 3000 Syrian pounds. With the exception of robbery, looting and robbery around the clock, day and night, by its members under his direction and supervision. And since the season is about to end in its last days and coincides with the entry of the so-called “Restitution of Rights and Grievances” committee, he issued new decisions with the aim of seizing what remains in the hands of the indigenous Kurdish population from farmers and the owners of the contemporary, including:
_ An amount of 3 US dollars was imposed on the residents present in exchange for allowing them to harvest the olives remaining until now instead of the previous 2 dollars.
