Kurds neither Betray nor hatred anyone…. Sheikh Maksoud is the best evidence

Riad Youssef

The Kurdish people in Roj-Ava (specifically in Qamishlo) faced dirty socio-political conspiracy, it was made by Baathist Arab kitchens, to strike the Kurds and kill them as possible, and displace the others, and induction of the Baathist Arab state with its supporters against the Kurdish people. The dark day on 12 / March – 2004, during a football match between jihad Club in Qamishlo and Al-Futuway Club in Deir al-Zour on Qamishlo Stadium. That day began when the audience of Al-Futuway club attacked with stones and sticks to the audience the second team (Jihad). When the fight began, the countdown had begun for those dirty plan, which it killed dozens of Kurds who were martyred at the hands of the internal security forces, which was used in turn the live ammunition to strike the isolation Kurds for several hours at the beginning. Then, they arrested the Kurds in all the provinces in Syria, taking them to the regime’s prisons where they were faced the worst methods of torture and repression that led to the death of many of the sons of the Kurdish people in prisons and tortured under the security branches.

Generally, we are not talking the full details of the story, because it has become a fact evidence to anyone who lived those days and read about or care about what happened that day.

All of this injustice, torture and imprisonment that the Kurds suffered on the backdrop of that event, and all those martyrs who lost their lives at the hands of their brother Arabs from the audience of Al-Futuway team, and then at the hands of security agents also Arabs of the security branches, all this looting of Kurds shops and houses in Qamishlo at the hands of staying with them in the same city and the neighborhood and other cities of the Arabs as well.

All these were not an obstacle in the Kurdish-face that received the sons of the same city, and the people who participated in that black day in the contemporary history of the Kurds in Syria in general and in Qamishlo specifically, did not prevent them to receive the sons of Deir al-Zour in their city, and secure housing and clothing them, and involve them in a living, when the Baathist regime forces killed the Kurds by their participation. They have taken them in the bosom like brothers who share the life and determination.

The regime’s war on the cities and regions of Syria began and continued for many years. Many regions have been destroyed by the bombing of aviation and artillery. Every town or village entered by what so-called (FSA), the regime did not hesitate in the bombardment and destruction and siege, in addition following-up the policy of starvation for control.

Here, the Kurds have known that the third line is the savior of destruction and genocide. So, they have resorted to protect themself because so-called free army from the beginning  was followed agendas of neighbor and regional countries for special interests in those countries. They were looting in some areas, killing and kidnapping in other ones. The Kurds stood in the face of these acts and those agendas that have prevented the destruction of towns and villages, which led to the result of induction of these countries to the elements and militias to act against the interests of the Kurds. Sheikh Maksoud neighborhood was (after a lot of examples, towns and villages) one of those areas where the Kurds are subjected to continuous shelling for several months. It was bombed with chemical weapons and local-made cannon “hell”, the bombed areas and the neighborhoods surrounding the Sheikh Maksoud, in addition to the suffocating siege by radical Islamic factions that had been working for the interests of Ardogan.

Several factions led by “Zahran Aloush” Agreed under the banner of (Labaiki Ya Okhtah), because they said that one of their women have been beaten by the present Kurdish forces in “Sheikh Maksoud” neighborhood. They attacked the Kurds trapped originally by them with heavy weapons and guns of hell. They arrested some of the children and the elders men, and put shoes in their mouths. They were tortured and insulted, they are not wanted or fleeing or from army soldiers or regime shabiha. They were not guilty, the only guilt which was mde the introduced for all this beating because they are Kurds; God created them Kurd.

Kurds defended in “Sheikh Maksoud” about themselves, their honor and their land, so Islamic factions of Turkey, like (Daesh) and (Fatah al-Sham), and later (Al-Zanki) and (Istkem kma Omert). They defended their neighborhood and their land. They withstood even so-called themselves the opposition and the free army had betrayed the people of Aleppo and the Syrian people as a whole, when Turkey sold them at the cheapest prices. Some of them turned himself advertisers surrender, go with the green buses that brought by regime, taking them to safe areas and places (according to the regime), leaving behind the women, children and elders, in addition to some of the men who were involved in the bombing “Sheikh Maksoud”; leaving women and the elders who were clapping for those who were attending gun of hell and mixed it with chemicals to bomb this neighborhood. They were cheering at the fall of every mortar shell at the Kurdish neighborhood, which was also its guilt to contain Kurds.

Six thousand displaced preliminary toll of surrounding to the neighborhood, they went to the Kurds to protect them and care for them; to provide daily living for them and for their children.

All of these women, children and  the elders among young men do not carry weapons to protect yourselves? !!!!

They went to your enemy (supposed), those who lost their lives through your bombing and chemical weapons trying to exterminate them. They went to -from you even before a very short period- kill them. Today walks around them, demanding them the protection, security and care …. Why….?!!!!!

Is it because they are afraid of you … No they are right; not afraid, and have sufficient courage so. Who defends land, honor and dignity is not afraid.

Don’t they have weapons to revenge … you have to understand they have weapons to revenge, you know that well.

If they have weapons, strength and courage, and you are easy targets in their hands, why do not they do what you were doing with them?

There is one thing to justify this act which amazed you as amazed people  of Deir al-Zour as well. Kurds are not savages people who do not know mercy and compassion, but they are good people do not know revenge and do not hold hatred for one whatever he did and whatever his strength. The Kurdish culture, which came from the leader, thinker and philosopher “Abdullah Ocalan”. It is the culture of the brotherhood, partnership, faith in coexistence, pluralism, democracy and brotherhood of peoples. We are committed to the implementation. We are pleased and proud of this thought and this philosophy that less counterpart.
