Photos released by Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Sunday showing Turkish-backed Syrian Arab fighters are looting shops and goods as well as cars and tractors in Afrin.

Turkish military alongside their rebel allies seized the city of Afrin on Sunday.

The flags of Turkey and Syrian rebel groups were raised in the city and a statue of Kurdish hero Kawa, a symbol of resistance against oppressors, was also torn down inside the city.

Around 250,000 civilians had left in recent days after pro-Ankara fighters all but surrounded the city, fleeing southwards to territory still held by the Kurdish forces or controlled by the Syrian government.
