16 Syrian CSOs including The Day After have signed a press release on The Wind Turbines Project in the Occupied Syrian Golan that Poses and Existential Threat to the Indigenous Syrian Population.
The Energix’s project, if implemented, will have serious consequences on the health and safety of Syrian communities. It will also lead to the destruction of their traditional agriculture economy of Apples and Cherries, while irreparably damaging agriculture.
Furthermore, the project will heavily restrict the expansion of three of five remaining Syrian villages in the Golan after 1967 (Majdal Shams, Buq’ata and Masada). This will exacerbate the suffocating housing crisis in the Syrian villages, distort the natural landscape, and also threatens wildlife in the region.
The signatory organizations, condemn Energix’s project and call: Israeli state, as Occupying Power, and International community to stop implementing the wind turbine project, and the violations against human rights and International human law in the occupied Golan.
