	SHENGAL HAS BEEN UNDER SİEGE

They were brought from places like Talafar. There were also forces tied to different groups. Consequently,this has startled the people living in the region. Iraqi army  sent special forces called Anti-Terror. They made a statement saying, "We are sending our battalions to change them," but nobody opposed the arrival of so many soldiers. Nobody left  here. They try to make the situation look normally. They have been  trying to make it look as if there was only a power shift. They  have tried to defuse  with such explanations. There has been  a very intense mobilisation. He has claimed “ They are trying to scare the people and carry out a silent invasion, ”

	 

	NEW DECREE  HAZARD

	 

	Expressing that the people of Shengal have been holding meetings everywhere and discussing what needs to be done against the situation, Elî said, “In his statement, the MXDŞ made an urgent solidarity call to all defenders of freedom. Shengal faces 75th edict. Because Shengal has been surrounded from all sides. The border between Rojava and Shengal and many strategic areas have been  surrounded by soldiers. When ISIS attacked in 2014, the Iraqi army withdrew its soldiers. The KDP peshmerga withdrew. This is what Shengal's fear is,anyway. The people say, “why did these soldiers not defend us when ISIS came?” We created our strength, established a peaceful system, established our management and service institutions,” why are they coming now?” "We found some peace, are they coming now?"
