PKK terrorists generate a great deal of revenue by extorting $55 from each oil truck driver entering Syria’s Manbij
The reason Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists persist in remaining in Syria’s Manbij has been revealed.
PKK terrorists have built a so-called crossing point in Manbij and have been extorting money from oil truck drivers who are forced to travel through the region, according to reports.
A Manbij deal between Turkey and the U.S. focuses on the withdrawal of the YPG/PKK forces from the city to stabilize the region, which is in the northeast of the Aleppo province in northern Syria. However the terrorists do not want to leave the area to continue their extortion activities.
They earn a large income daily from extorting tax money by charging each truck driver $55 (300 Turkish liras).
The majority of the oil trucks that are being stopped by terrorists, carry fuel from the YPG/PKK-occupied Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria and Raqqa.
Footage posted on Tuesday by Turkey’s Ihlas News Agency shows the moment trucks queue up to pass through the PKK occupied-region of Manbij.
U.S. forces carried out a patrol with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) terrorists near the Turkish border in Syria’s Hasakah on Sunday.
The SDF is dominated by the YPG terrorists, which is the armed wing of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), the Syrian offshoot of the PKK.
The U.S. also has supplied the PYD and YPG with thousands of truckloads of weapons to allegedly use in the fight against Daesh, despite Ankara’s warnings that they are the Syrian offshoots of the PKK terror organization.
