Afrin and Paris… two cities that have nothing in common, except in these images.
In Afrin in 2018, Turkish-backed militants carried away whatever they could loot from the belongings of local residents during the occupation of the city, in a scene that remains a stark reminder of the destruction and displacement suffered by Afrin and its people.
In Paris, some scenes bring back memories of Afrin.
Between Afrin and Paris, the issue is not the city itself, nor its beauty or sophistication, but the conduct of those who invaded and occupied it, looted its property, and displaced its people.
