Since yesterday, Syrians have been rejoicing over the capture of Amjad Yousef—a notorious sectarian Alawite criminal whose crimes against humanity were exposed to the world in a single leaked video. In that video, he and a group of sectarian Alawites (including one Druze element under al-Hijri's protection) were mass-murdering young and elderly Syrian men. By blindfolding them and telling them to run, they claimed "that's your only way to survive." But they were forcing them to run directly toward a dug pit. As soon as the victims fell in, they shot them, laughing loudly. When one elderly man said he couldn't run because of his age, they mockingly told him they'd be "lenient" and let him walk fast instead. You can see the rest of the horror in the attached video. But that wasn't the full story. They systematically gathered men and women. Women were raped, then killed in the exact same way—often abducted right out of bread bakery queues. When the pit was full enough (288 civilians were documented in 28 un-leaked videos from that single day alone), they threw tires over the bodies and burned them. Even after the defeat of Assad, Amjad and his sectarian fellows kept openly constantly being proud of what they had done to us, just to humiliate us. In Deir Ez-Zor, where I come from—the most destroyed city in Syria according to the UN and the World Bank—multiple close friends and people I know were murdered the exact same way. Abdullah al-Turki, a dear friend, my closest older mentor, and the man who taught me how to drive, was assassinated at a checkpoint and then burned. Faisal al-Rowaili, a well-known local trader, teacher, and a good friend to my father, met the same fate. My uncle—my father's youngest brother, my closest friend, and my only business partner from that side of the family—was chased by checkpoint guards while trying to cross the siege just to get food for his starving kids. The Assadists opened fire. One of my uncles was injured and still lives with a bullet in his hip; the other didn't make it. The list of people I know, or whose names and numbers I know from similar mass massacres, is endless. This is to say nothing of the "Cemeteries Massacres" when Deir Ez-Zor was under an Assadi brutal siege. They hunted us at night in the middle of the desert while we tried to smuggle whatever we could carry on our shoulders, driven by a siege so severe it forced everyone to eat inedible leaves. Anyone they captured was mass-killed or burned alive. The only difference with Amjad Yousef is that his crimes were documented in a leaked video. We have lived through countless similar stories at the hands of sectarian criminals. Despite all this, we decided to forgive, simply because we wanted to rebuild our destroyed homes. However, the sectarian alliance of Alawites, Shiites, and their other allies who believed in the "minority alliance" gave us no breather. They kept destabilizing our country, boasting about their crimes, and committing more whenever they got the chance. Yes, dear world. This is what we were fighting. And this is how noble we are when we choose forgiveness. We defeated this enemy—a coalition of super-powerful enemies—alone, while the whole world worked against us. So when you see someone from my culture who fought through this revolution, you owe them respect and appreciation and avoid to provoke or offend her/him/them, especially when they are trying to show you their kindness and generosity. Why? Coming from a tribal community, we honor our word. Granting "forgiveness and state of safety" from a position of power is the absolute peak of nobility in our culture. But when that nobility is not respected or appreciated, and when enemies keep provoking and humiliating us, we fall back on our culture of revenge. A culture that says: "Our revenge stays alive for 40 years until we get it done—on our own terms." But still, we prioritize that forgiveness from a position of power. Because that is true nobility.

Taj Kurdish, a founder of the SDF-linked North Press (NP) and a collaborator with FRANCE 24, is also closely connected to the CJTFOIR. He has been posting on Facebook to glorify the SDF/YPG terrorist responsible for the massacre in Ayn al-Arab (Kobani) against Arab civilians—a massacre he filmed himself committing. In one post, Taj wrote: "This person deserves all the respect, may God honor your roots. I will make a picture of him and hang it in my house." On his Facebook page, he also uses a notorious racist phrase, "The Arabs are the most severe in disbelief and hypocrisy," often used to justify atrocities against Arab tribal communities. Additionally, his bio states, "no integration with the Joulani," sending a divisive and hostile message. Meanwhile, France 24 recently published an investigation confirming the massacre and directly implicating the SDF/YPG. This public figure exemplifies the true face of SDF/YPG/PKK social media: vile, racist, and disgraceful in Arabic and Kurdish, while their English platforms fabricate stories of violations against Kurds that never occurred. On the ground, the reality is the opposite—they are committing mass killings and humiliating Arabs to provoke a civil war, only to exploit it later for their propaganda. #Syria

Video: On the day the Assad regime fell, news circulated about a group of detainees being taken from Sednaya to an unknown destination. Today, a group of rebels discovered a secret room in Harsta Hospital, located in the Damascus suburbs, where they found the bodies of these detainees, each with name tags on them.

Since yesterday evening, I've been grappling with deep depression due to the videos emerging from Sednaya Prison and other detainees prisons. I can't avoid watching them because we have a responsibility to document this history and show the world the kind of regime we are fighting against. The two videos I found suitable for my English-speaking audience, without being too overwhelming, feature two gentlemen who were liberated yesterday from Sednaya Prison's Red Section. Both have lost their minds and memories due to torture. The first gentleman was identified by his family; he was arrested 13 years ago while traveling by bus from his pro-revolution town to Aleppo for a medical university exam, and they had heard nothing about him since. #Syria

Mr. Michel Kilo, a Christian opponent of the Assad regime for decades, passed away before seeing #Syria free. His story encapsulates the Syrian struggle. While detained, a jailer challenged him, as an educator, to tell a story to a child born in prison after his mother was raped by Assadists. Mr. Kilo entered their cell and noticed the boy's swollen face. He began, "There was a bird," to which the child asked, "What's a bird?" Confused, Kilo continued, "It was flying over a tree," and the child asked, "What's a tree?" Kilo then sang simple songs to him and, overwhelmed, called for the jailer, pleading to be taken out of the cell while in tears. The jailer explained that the boy's mother was held hostage because her father fled to Jordan as an opposition figure, and the boy knew nothing of the outside world. #Sednaya #SednayaPrison
