Raqqa
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have increased economic pressures on the residents of the city of al-Tabaqa in Western Raqqa in a bid to suppress the Syrian citizens after they staged a popular uprising there, media reports said.
The Arabic-language Baladi news website quoted local sources in al-Tabaqa as saying that the city's residents are under immense economic pressures so that although tens of tons of flour has been stockpiled in the city's warehouses, the economy committee affiliated to the SDF blocks its distribution among residents.
They said that the residents of al-Tabaqa are living in critical conditions, adding that after the recent popular uprising there the SDF is trying to increase economic pressures on people in an economic war.
The popular uprisings against the US-backed SDF have increased over the past two weeks and they have taken serious economic measures against the civilians.
