Background: Serekaniye came under the control of the Turkish Armed Forces and affiliated Syrian National Army (SNA) mercenaries following Operation Peace Spring in October 2019. The 2019 offensive displaced over 150,000 to 200,000 original residents, predominantly ethnic Kurds. In the aftermath, Turkish-backed mercenaries facilitated the settlement of Arab settlers from other regions of Syria into the vacated homes left behind by Kurdish residents. @KurdishFrontNews
