It has been revealed that most of the AKP/KDP gang members who recently attacked YBŞ and YJŞ fighters in Shengal’s Khanasor subdistrict were members of Azadî, Silehedîn and Silehedîn’s Grandchildren gangs who attacked Aleppo, Qestel Cindo and Serêkaniyê before.

Rojavan parents who wanted to visit the mourning houses for those who lost their lives in the attacks gave information on these gang members they knew.

KDP/AKP gangs who stopped and threatened the Rojavans that wanted to visit the mourning houses of their loved ones in Shengal’s Khanasor subdistrict are revealed to be members of Jabhat Al-Nusra, and afterwards went on to found Azadî, Silehêdin’s Grandchildren gangs. Parents en route to Dêrik were attacked by these gangs on the Rabia road, they recognized them and later on spoke on who they are and what attacks they were involved in before.

Thousands of people wanted to go from Rojava’s Derik, Girke Lege and Çil Axa villages and their surroundings to Khanasor, Shengal on March 4 to visit the mourning houses of the families of YBŞ and YJŞ members who lost their lives in the KDP/AKP gangs’ attack. The people on their way to Khanasor were attacked by gangs on the Rabia road. Some people recognized the gang members attacking them. One of them, a mother from Derik who wishes to remain anonymous, said she recognized many of the gang members who attacked them with water and bullets on the Rabia road and prevented them from going to Shengal. The mother said the following on the identities of the gang members: “I was furious when I saw Şîndar Nûr Sebrî from Dêrik, Serdar Akrem Mişo from Abrê village in Çılaxa, İzedin Birhik’s son from Çilaxa, and some others but I don’t remember their names. I told them when we were there too. I said, ‘Don’t you have no shame, as you shoot at us and shake your finger at us YPG/YPJ and Asayish protect your mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters.’”

A father named Ahmet who lives in Girkê Legê and was subjected to the gangs’ attack listed the gang members he recognized as: “Lewend Silêman Lawind from Pîrê village in Girkê Legê subdistrict, Şivan Smaîl Şeref, Sirûr Mihemed Alelî and Ferhad Yusif Omer from Helaq village in Girkê Legê, Biwar Îbrahim Qasim and Kurê Mihemed Amîn Selmî also from Girkê Legê. While we protect these people’s families from gangs in Rojava, they are attacking us there.”

THE GANG MEMBERS WERE IN AL-NUSRA BEFORE

Ahmet spoke on the Birhik family from Çıl Axa and said that many from that family are in Al-Nusra. One of these was İzedîn Birhik’s son (but he couldn’t remember his name), and he said Celal Birhik from the same family was also in Al-Nusra before, he was taken to Southern Kurdistan for treatment after he was wounded in the Serekani attacks, and the next time Ahmet saw him was in peshmerga uniform standing against him on Rabia road.

It has been revealed that Celal Birhik and several other Rojava Peshmerga gangs have been involved in Jabhat Al-Nusra, Free Syrian Army and later on Azadî, Silehedîn and Silehedîn’s Grandchildren gangs, who attacked the people in Aleppo, Qestel Cindo and Serêkaniyê, as members and founders.
