I gathered two major points from the amnesty article.
- The practice is unnecessary for the military purpose of fighting Daesh.
- The majority of the victims are Sunni Arabs and Turkmen, obvious in that region.
One thing seems to point at the direction of ethnic cleansing to prepare for a Kurdish dominant region if we connect the recent events. Cleansing may be a too harsh word, neither is there sufficient number of similar incidents to make an accusation, but targeting primarily on non-Kurds does seem that way.
It would be good to know where those displaced people are settled now.
If the "accusation" is proven, it is surely balkanization of Syria. I am sure Turkey does not like it.
Let's remember what President Al Assad once said at the beginning of the crisis "the west is playing at a tectonic fault line in the region" , at the cost of Syrian lives.
