Unknown fate of kidnapped on ISIS hands

On March 23, 2019, the SDF announced the liberation of the last ISIS-controlled geographical area, Al-Baguz, in Deir ez-Zor countryside, where the banners of darkness were crushed and the banners of light were raised to the sky.

A few days ago, on March 23, a year had passed on the liberation and defeat of ISIS, many questions rise in the minds of people who had suffered pain at the hands of these mercenaries.

Here we are talking about the question that remains unknown until now: what is the fate of the kidnapped by ISIS from northeastern Syria? Are they dead or still alive?

Among them, Welat Qatash, a young Kurdish from the village of Zinar Assaf (27 km) south of Kobane, who has been detained for more than six years. His fate is unknown!

In early 2014, ISIS mercenaries arrested about 200 people on a number of " mini buses", near the village of Alia on the international road west of Tel Tamer town and took them to the detention centers.

They were in a convoy to the Syrian-Iraqi border to go Başûr of Kurdistan in search of jobs in the light of the conditions of the siege that caused deteriorating the conditions of life.

Welat was 22 years old then and was the only sole breadwinner for his mother.

Today, more than six years have passed since Welat was kidnapped, and his 66-year-old mother, Yasher Mulla Na'asan, is still waiting for him to return or hear news about him, to extinguish the fire of her burning heart with the mass of longing.

Before that, Welat had got high school certificate recently and headed to Beirut to work as a " cabinetmaker", but returned to Kobane after his condition worsened. He decided to head to Başûr Kurdistan.

After capturing them by ISIS, some of them were released and 139 people, including Welat were kept the day after the incident, mother Yasher learned about her son's abduction, but she had no option, no one could reach ISIS, or negotiate with him.

Welat's fate and his co-workers is still unknown. Mother Yasher says :" I saw his picture behind bars with a group of Kobane youths on social media months after their kidnapping.

She still holds his picture in her hands, holding her hands up to the sky and calls for her son to return to her one day.

Mother Yasher now lives alone between four walls, refusing to go to the city to live with her other son. So she does not want to give up hope for her son Welat's return.

Mother Yasher appeals to anyone who has anything to do with or be able to work to uncover the fate of the detainees who were held by ISIS mercenaries, in the hope that her son's fate will not remain unknown forever.
