Tribal violence haunts northeastern Syria
The de facto authorities controlling northeastern Syria stand idly by as tribal violence escalates, leading to casualties and tension in the area.
Tribal clashes in northeastern Syria have been on the rise since the beginning of 2022 as a result of disputes and acts of revenge witnessed in the cities and towns where Arab tribes are widespread in the governorates of Hasakah, Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor.
According to data collected and published April 28 by SyriaTV, a pro-opposition Syrian television network based in Istanbul, Hasakah province ranked first in the number of deaths resulting from armed tribal clashes and acts of revenge, with 12 people killed in total since the start of 2022.
Casualties were reported in the cities of Qamishli, Amuda, Markada and Hasakah.
Deir ez-Zor province ranked second, with six people killed in separate incidents during the same period.
