Ain Issa - Zana Sayed

"Mahdi al-Kurdistani," as he is called, is present in the village of Al-Mushrifa east of the town of Ain Issa, which is under attacks by the Turkish occupation.

Mahdi Mohiuddin hails from the village of Sarzel near the Kurdish city of Sulaymaniyah, and his father fought in the ranks of the Peshmerga against the Iraqi invasion of Kurdish areas during the eighties and nineties of the last century.

Confronting a painful reality in the civil war that erupted between the Kurds themselves in the mountains of southern Kurdistan, Mahdi's father decided to lay down his arms and refuse to participate in the war, a war that was ignited by foreign strife, in the words of "Kurdistan."

Left London for Rojava

The vision differed for the Kurdish young man, Mahdi Mohiuddin, who settled for more than 19 years and lived in the British city of London, and who saw that escaping from these conflicts in Kurdistan is sufficient to pave the way for an external occupation, and he realized that immigration is not a solution, and he was certain that those areas and resistance must be defended in various ways to preserve the land and the people.

Mahdi was not the only young man who arrived during the Turkish attack on different regions in northern and eastern Syria, Kurdistani indicated that 83 young men have arrived from different cities and towns of Başûr Kurdistan, since the start of the Turkish attack on the 9th of October of last year, to participate in Dignity Resistance.

In support of his Kurdish cause and seeking to introduce the Kurds in Britain, Mahdi Mohiuddin, 40, participated in various civil activities and events after years of study, especially organizing demonstrations against the Turkish occupation, to decide later to travel to Rojava and participate in the resistance against the Turkish invasion after two decades in London.

Mahdi's story differs from the thousands of stories that emerged during the years of crisis in the region, ranging between those heading to Europe in search of safety, strict laws and artificial European restrictions on refugees, and those seeking to create freedom with weapons against an occupier who is indifferent to the language of peace.
