SICKENING footage appears to show pro-Turkey rebels desecrating the corpse of a female Kurdish fighter and branding her a whore.

In the clip, published today by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (Sohr), a fighter boasts of defeating the "pigs" as men in military combat jubilantly shout "Allahu Akbar".

Smiling at the camera, the man triumphantly announces his faction, who he identifies as the Mujahideen of Faylaq (Corps) al-Majd, as standing on "the corpses of pigs".

In the clip he explicitly refers to Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) and the Democratic Union Party PYD, who pro-Turkey rebels have been fighting since October 9.

HORROR CLIP

In the video, fighters of the same faction can be seen standing on the corpse of a member of the all-Kurdish female unit Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), part of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

“This is one of your wh**es whom you have sent to us," the man is heard saying. "This is one of the wh**es under our feet."

In a separate clip, published today by news site rudaw.net, a fighter is heard saying “I took this female pig prisoner” as a group of men surround a terrified-looking woman.

The footage, yet to be verified independently, comes after pro-Turkey fighters reportedly executed nine Kurdish civilians in Syria in a video allegedly capturing some of the brutal killings.

Turkey and its allies launched an offensive in Syria directly after Donald Trump withdrew Kurdish-backing US troops from the Syria-Turkey border region.

At least 86 civilians are estimated to have died in the conflict so far, with up to 300,000 reported to have fled their homes.

The Turkish government fears Kurd-dominated forces in Syria will link up with Kurdish rebels in Turkey, who have been fighting for a breakaway state for decades.

The long-persecuted Kurds live in mountainous regions stretching across northern Turkey, Syria and Iraq.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he wants to clear Kurdish fighters from a buffer zone running more than 20 miles into Syria, and around 440km along the border.

Turkey then plans to resettle up to two million Syrian refugees into this buffer zone - a move that could trigger the ethnic cleansing of the Kurdish population.

The Kurds had been backed by the US during the eight-year-old Syrian civil war against the cruel Assad regime and ISIS.
