Avesta, a university student at the Faculty of Law in Aleppo, and the daughter of a former school principal in Afrin during the reign of Self-Administration called “Jehan”, did not see her mother since two years, lamenting and blaming herself because she could not help her mother in her ordeal during her father’s illness, attending his funeral and saying goodbye, because the road from Aleppo to her village is like crossing the borders of two states as she put it.
Her brother, Gandar, who was a Self-Administration traffic policeman, his fate is known if he considers visiting his mother in the village, imprisonment and torture, as happened to many who were arrested by Muslim Brotherhood Islamic militias and then handed over to Turkey.
“The son of the neighbors was working with my son in the traffic police. He disappeared from the village a year and a half ago,” says Director Ceyhan. “If he is not imprisoned in Ankara, he is probably killed.”
Avesta continues: “I currently live in the city of Aleppo, and only half an hour away from my brother to travel by bus, but I still could not meet him two years ago because of the strict border procedures within the (states of Aleppo), which is divided into three, the city center and its northern countryside , where IDP camps, Afrin and its villages. ”
The area where Avesta lives in the city of Aleppo is under the regime forces, and Tal Rifaat, where her brother Gandar lives, is under the joint administration of the Self-Administration, the regime, the Russians and the Iranians, while her mother Ceyhan lives in her village of Afrin, which is occupied by the Turkish army and the Islamic militias of the Muslim Brotherhood.
