Qamishli in the face of terrorism
Introduction:
The city of Qamishli was ahead of the rest of the Syrian cities and towns in combating the injustice and tyranny of the regime in Syria, where it recorded the first uprising against the regime on March 12, 2004, after dramatic events witnessed by the Qamishli Stadium and its football team represented by Al-Jihad Sports Club, which hosted the Al-Fatwa team coming from Deir ez-Zor and Dara. Heavy battles between the fans of the two teams, especially the visiting team, which rained down on the Qamishli stadium with a torrent of stones, firecrackers and some bullets, which claimed the lives of many children and youth that the Syrian regime played against the Kurds in Syria. Freedom, dignity, justice and equality, and the demand for the wasted rights of the Kurdish people at the hands of the successive regimes in power in Syria, and the demand for the dignity that the citizens of Syria have been missing for many years. Kobani and Afrin reached the Kurdish neighborhoods of Damascus and Aleppo, but the Syrian regime dealt brutally with these people. Fadda and practiced the most heinous repressive practices to put an end to it, killing dozens of innocent people, hundreds of wounded and thousands of detainees, many of whom died under torture. This was the first public demand to overthrow the regime when the demonstrators broke statues and rips pictures of the Syrian President in public squares, the streets of Qamishlo and the rest of the Kurdish-majority cities . If the March 2004 uprising was the most prominent breakthrough for the Kurdish people demanding their legitimate rights, it was not the first of those demands that have always been the demands of this people over the past decades and which successive regimes in Syria have inflicted the calamities and deprived them of the most basic rights of citizenship and the rights stipulated in international human rights covenants. The Kurdish areas are an arena and subject to exceptional laws and racist and discriminatory projects and policies against the Kurdish people and the rest of the region's components. Qamishli was also the first to join the demands of the Syrian people in the revolution for freedom and dignity, which started from the far south of Syria in March 2011, specifically from the province of Daraa and passing through the rest of the provinces, towns and villages, but all of them were not spared from the brutality of the Syrian regime and all those who wrapped it in the neighboring countries and some terrorist organizations Which the regime directly contributed to making and throwing it into the fray of the revolution in order to delude and suggest to the world that it is being exposed to an external conspiracy and must be eliminated in any way. In light of the existence of this fierce machine that only possesses the logic of force, arrogance, and the reluctance to conceal it, the battles are still raging, neither the regime has been resolved nor the opposition has won, and between the madness of the regime and the shaky performance of the opposition, the bleeding continues until the hour of writing this report.
Background on the city of Qamishli, located to the north-east on the Syrian border with Turkey and close to the foot of the Taurus Mountains, along the Turkish city of Nusaybin. North and longitude 41, 13-E. It is administratively affiliated to Al-Hasakah Governorate, and the Jaqjaq River passes through the city.
The population of the city of Qamishli in 2003 reached about 650,000 thousand people, the majority of whom are Kurds and other lineages distributed between Syriacs, Assyrians, Chaldeans and Arabs. Amuda in the west, in the area of Torbet Sebieh/Al-Qahtaniyah in the east, and in the Tel Hamis district in the south. It lies to the south of the Turkish border line by about 1.5 km and follows the direction of the center of Qamishli city by 122 villages. From the south, the city of Hasaka is about 75 km, and from the north is the Turkish city of Nusaybin, where the two cities of Qamishli and Nusaybin are separated by the Syrian-Turkish border line only, where it is possible to see the city of Nusaybin from the roofs of Qamishli buildings and vice versa. It grows on the banks of the Jaqjaq River and its tributaries.
The city is located near the ruins of the ancient city of Urkesh (currently Talmuzan), which belonged to the Hurrians, which was founded during the fourth millennium BC. Qamishli is a modern city, as it is believed that it was built when the French soldiers established a military base for them. The French began building it in 1921 and it was planned on August 20, 1926 by the French Lieutenant Terrier, because of the location that the French considered strategic because of the presence of the Jaqjaq River and the Aleppo railway. Nisibis or the so-called "Taurus Iron Line". The Syriacs are considered among the first to inhabit the area, as they came from Nisibis following the "Sevo", then were followed by the Kurds, the Armenians, the tribes of Bani Bakr al-Arab and the Mardalilah (relative to Mardin).
As for the religions in the city of Qamishli, there are Muslims, Christians, Yazidis, Zoroastrians and Jews who immigrated to the United States, in addition to some Alawites who later moved to other cities. As for languages, its residents speak Kurdish, Arabic, Syriac and Armenian, and they speak other languages according to the components in the city.
The city of Qamishli is also considered a fertile agricultural area because it is not far from more than 10 kilometers from the Taurus Mountains, where most of its residents work in agriculture and on this depends its economy and its production is in agricultural crops wheat, lentils and barley. In Qamishli, there are 957 thousand tons of wheat of both types, hard and soft, 680 tons of crushed lentils, and another part of its population works in relatively small trade, in addition to oil (Rmelan), where the Qamishli region and its environs are considered a rich area in oil and gas, as for the products it controls. The products coming from Turkey or the products coming through the Semalka “Fish Khabur” crossing, which come from the Kurdistan region to the Qamishli markets as a result of cross-border trade relations and its geographical proximity
The climate of the city of Qamishli is also characterized by a semi-arid medium climate, where the climate is hot and dry in summer, cold and rainy in winter, and in spring it is moderate and rainy intermittently. And because Qamishli is a hot area in the summer, the temperature in July may exceed 41 degrees Celsius, and the winter temperature drops to 2 degrees Celsius in January and sometimes it reaches zero degrees Celsius.
the event
The city of Qamishli was subjected to the most horrific types of terrorism as a result of a cowardly terrorist operation that is added to the series of terrorist operations that Qamishli and the rest of the Kurdish-majority cities are exposed to. Terror lurked in the city of love and tolerance and turned the bodies of the residents of that neighborhood to pieces and emptied all its poison and madness in that particular street, where the demonstrations were filled with length and width every Friday afternoon, as in the other governorates that revolted during the outbreak of the Syrian revolution. On Wednesday, 7/27/2016 around the time: 9.20 am, the city lived a quiet night until the morning of that day. All days were a normal day, and there were no previous indications of confusion in the street or any abnormal movement prior to targeting the western neighborhood of the city. Qamishlo that morning, the bombing left "64 (sixty-four) victims and 95 wounded) "and the fate of some of them is still unknown and their bodies are under the rubble, not to mention the great destruction that has befallen The entire street has been turned into ruins and the infrastructure of most of the neighboring buildings, which were somewhat far from the place of the bombing, was disintegrated. As for the street, it was completely leveled to the ground, adding a complete destruction to the neighborhood, not to mention the great destruction that ravaged the property of citizens, and the damage caused to the entire neighborhood is estimated within a circle with a diameter of 500 meters.
As a result, ambulances and security forces of the Autonomous Administration (Asayiş) rushed to the (Western Neighborhood) area, where dozens of wounded and victims were transferred to private hospitals, including: Al-Salam, Al-Nour, Nafez, Dar Al-Shifaa and the National Hospital in the city.
Going back to the events and recounting what happened prior to the explosion: The Six Wheel truck entered the “Volvo” type, which is a large truck usually used to transport livestock according to its design, which was carrying a very large amount of explosives, according to what is clear from the extent of the destruction left by the explosion in the area surrounding the explosion, as the damage was estimated at a radius of 400 m, and the damage was estimated at a radius of 1000 m, which claimed the lives of no less than 75 victims and more than 200 wounded, many of whom were seriously injured and later died of their wounds, most of them were civilians and a number of Asayish (police) forces that were The barrier near the place of the terrorist bombing.
Although the security forces of the Autonomous Administration (Asayiş) had issued an earlier date not to allow large trucks to enter the city. Last December, the Asayish forces had issued a decision banning the entry of trucks, tanks and locomotives to the cities, and that they had to go through the city belt roads And move through it, calling on it to abide by these laws in order to preserve security and safety in the province and to preserve the lives and properties of citizens.
There is also a decision that was notified to truck drivers after the bombing of the town of Tal Tamer on 10/12/2015, which states that trucks are not allowed to move from eight in the morning until eight in the evening.
As I published on social media pages, a video of a truck crossing the checkpoint and entering the western neighborhood area. Speculation and analysis, according to the leaked video, suggest that it is the same truck that exploded and left a humanitarian disaster that will remain in our minds.
As all the wounded and eyewitnesses confirmed to this horrific massacre, there was nothing to arouse any suspicion in the neighborhood before the explosion, and that the street movement was normal. And that targeted the western neighborhood of the city, the street crowded with the movement of people, intending to kill the largest possible number of innocents and civilians.
For her part, the witness, Nazia Khalaf, confirmed that the explosion occurred at about 9.20 am, and before that, she heard the sound of the warplane flying in the area, and after hearing the sound of the plane, the explosion occurred as if (there is an agreement between the plane and the car that exploded) she says and adds Nazih that She got up early in the morning at about 4 am to pray the morning prayer, and there was a metropolis running in the street, an ignorant person (young in age) chanting slogans.
Suspicions still have people in the area that the explosion was in two successive stages within seconds and moments, and everyone is still closely watching the course of the investigation into this massacre and what will be issued by the administration through the investigation.
Whereas, a few hours after the terrorist operation, ISIS claimed responsibility for the bombing through its official website and according to the usual data, through a statement published on its media agency “Amaq” and this agency is affiliated with the “terrorist organization” ISIS, as all the organization’s statements and media bulletins are issued by Through this media agency.

My son Jan and I went to the store. I entered the Amuda Junction. I had three cars in front of me, one for the butcher, the other for the balurji, and the last for the pharmacist. Someone had put his motorbike (his motorbike) on the side of the sidewalk opposite the Caesarea. The pharmacist was sitting in front of the pharmacy and he had two children with him. We sat in front of the shop and watched the movement of people. I looked to the north. The employee Joanne was coming to the shop that day. He came early. He turned to the other side and during that, and very close, suddenly the explosion happened. I could no longer distinguish anything. The sky was black and dusty. To the basement, where I was made aluminum, I reached the basement door and started screaming from there Jano from there, no one answered the basement door was closed and the entrance was getting drunk, the voice of Baba came away from here for fear that the wall would fall on me, and after hearing the voice of my little boy Jano, I rested a little because I was reassured by him That he was fine, there was a car that had burned down and a service, I don't know who it was, then someone came to help me and I learned during that that from the Kurdish Red Crescent they helped me to Ferman Hospital, there was a big crisis, they put me on the bed and told me we will sew your wounds without Anesthesia agreed to that.
I did not see the truck bomb, and during the explosion, the sound of bullets came. I was telling myself if we did not die with the bombing, we will die by the bullets.
- When we asked about the distance between the Asayish center and the place of the explosion, he replied: The distance of the explosion between me and the Kamal Koreh store was 20 meters. The explosion was very far from the Asayish headquarters, in my opinion, it was not targeting the Asayish or the rest of the Autonomous Administration departments, because the closest center to the scene of the accident was at least 100 meters for that. I doubt that the aim of the bombing was to target the Autonomous Administration centers, which were actually only a weak percentage affected.
I also inform you that before the explosion, a warplane flew over the area for about 10 minutes. The plane was very low. The plane was coming from the direction of Qamishli Airport, and when it reached the main Shabaa, it headed towards the west towards the al-Hilaliyah sortie until it disappeared from view as I inform you and according to my belief that a missile hit the area because The truck was split into two parts: the head as it fell in front of the basement, and the other was split into two parts immediately after the explosion.
I also assure you that after the bombing, and less than half an hour after the bombing, Al-Baker and Al-Trex came to clean up the effects of the bombing. All this did not happen, but they immediately lifted the ruined rubble with machines and threw it outside the city, then brought the crushed stone and spread it in the place and rolled it until there was no hope left by the people for rescue or thinking of saving their relatives.
- When we asked the witness, did he notice anything abnormal in the area?
He answered, there was nothing abnormal that drew attention in the area, but everything was normal as the rest of the days, and I did not notice anything strange or striking, but I remember that the street was crowded with pedestrians and cars, and the traffic was huge, and I assure you that I did not see the truck even before it exploded Although the location of the explosion is only about 20 meters away from my location, this could have been due to the heavy traffic
Abdullah has shrapnel in the entire left hand, as well as the entire left leg, and he has shrapnel in the chest above the heart, and shrapnel in the colon.

Legal description of the terrorist operation
It appears from the location of the explosion, the size of the explosives and the timing of its implementation in the morning, during the height of the movement of civilians. The planners and perpetrators of the explosion meant that they intended to kill the largest possible number of civilians in order to spread terror and panic among the safe population and to kill and liquidate the largest possible number of civilians, which gives the work the character of terrorist acts. Which aims only to kill innocents with the aim of spreading terror and panic among the safe, and since there is no comprehensive definition of terrorism and terrorist acts, but they all agree that terrorist acts are those acts that aim to spread terror, panic and fear in the hearts of the safe...
As it appears from the site of the operation and all the cases that were documented that it targeted civilians as such, which gives the action the status of crimes against humanity, which means any act committed as part of a large-scale attack directed against any group of the civilian population. A crime against humanity is committed by one of the following:
Intentional murder.
Annihilation.
- Slavery.
Deportation or forced transfer of residents.
Imprisonment or severe deprivation.
- Torture.
Rape, sexual slavery, or enforced prostitution.
Persecution of any specific group or group of people on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural or religious grounds.
Enforced disappearance of persons.
The crime of apartheid.
Inhumane acts.
The area is also an area of conflict and rivalry between different groups, especially between the Islamic State Organization (ISIS), which claimed responsibility for the operation immediately afterwards, and the People's Protection Units, which administers control over the location of the operation, as well as the adjacent and surrounding areas, and since the operation targeted civilians as such without Other things that give the work the character of war crimes, as the war crime consists of two main pillars:
1- The existence of a state of war, and the commission of one of the acts prohibited by the laws and customs of war. Among the most important material acts that constitute a war crime are:
- Grave violations of the Geneva Conventions.
- Murder
Torture and inhuman treatment, including biological experiments...,
Deliberately causing great suffering or causing serious harm to body or health.
2 - The moral pillar,
Availability of the general criminal intent only is sufficient for the crime to occur, and the general intent is represented by knowledge and will.
In this case, the general element suffices, i.e. the offender’s knowledge and will to commit the crime, and according to the text of Article 8 of the Rome Statute, which is the system of the International Criminal Court, the court is competent to consider crimes that are considered war crimes.
Also, according to the chapter of Article 1 of the Convention on the non-statutory limitation for war crimes and crimes against humanity, both crimes are war crimes and crimes against humanity, regardless of when they were committed.
Likewise, the operation targeted an ethnic group by virtue of its character, since the place of carrying out the terrorist operation in it was a purely Kurdish area, and therefore the aim of it was to kill and liquidate the largest possible number of the people of this component. Genocide means any act committed with intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group in whole or in part, including:
Kill the group members.
Inflicting physical or mental harm on them.
Deliberately subjecting them to deplorable living conditions.
- Imposing measures to prevent childbearing.
Transferring children to other groups.
Organization opinion:
We in the Kurdish Organization for Human Rights in Syria (DAD), condemn and denounce the bloody violence, terrorist bombings, indiscriminate bombing and bloody clashes that strike the various Syrian regions and villages in general, and the indigenous components and minorities in Syria in particular, where the most heinous types of murder and the most heinous barbaric crimes against humanity and history are committed. Human rights through the use of various types of weapons of destruction, killing tools, bloody explosions and indiscriminate bombing, as these inhumane practices and measures have become clear forms of persecution and ethnic cleansing. The bombing of the western neighborhood of Qamishli was only part of those bloody terrorist acts that contradict all human, moral and religious values.
We also, as we declare our full solidarity with the families of the victims and those affected, and extend our heartfelt and heartfelt condolences to all those who died in the bombing, wishing all the wounded a speedy recovery, and registering our condemnation and denunciation of all practices of violence, killing, assassination and enforced disappearance committed by the normal regime and ISIS militants. We also appeal to all regional and international parties concerned to assume their responsibilities towards the people of Syria and the future of the region as a whole, and we call on them to work seriously and quickly to reach a peaceful political solution to the Syrian crisis and to stop the bloodshed and destruction.
Recommendations:
1 - The organization addresses the international community, which adopted the UN Security Council resolution on Friday 15/8/2014 formulated under Chapter VII targeting “extremist Islamists” in Syria and Iraq, by bypassing the traditional techniques adopted to combat terrorism and based on the use of force, such as air strikes targeting areas The work of terrorist groups, liquidating their leaders and members, engaging in direct battles with their supporters, and taking collective coercive steps against their potential followers. External intervention will not suffice in the fight against the Islamic State. If it is not coincident with the disclosure of the foundations and premises on which the organization depends, and its supporters and financiers, financially, morally, media and politically, and exposing the organization’s preferred narrative of the Islamic Caliphate and its necessity for the peoples of the region for their development and development. By clarifying the actions of terrorist and criminal groups to local communities. The organization's narrative should also be dismantled by highlighting the incompatibility of its creed with the values of Islam. The behavior of the Islamic state as if it were a state in its own right must be reversed.
- It also directs to the international community the need to assume its humanitarian responsibilities towards civilians who are victims of ISIS attacks and its control over cities and towns and emptying them of their residents, who have become displaced in many other cities.
2 - Forming a fact-finding committee to find out the merits of this crime, unravel its circumstances, and identify the criminals whenever possible so that this tragedy does not happen again.
3 - Forming a legal committee to compensate the victims and their families for this horrific massacre.
4 - Addressing all parties to the conflict in Syria in order to spare civilians from all forms of conflict and to preserve private and public property.
5- Immediate cessation of all acts of violence, killing and bloodshed in the Syrian streets in general, and in the Kurdish regions in particular, whatever the sources of this violence and its legislation and whatever its forms of support and justifications may be.
6 - Immediate cessation of all racist and repressive practices that adopt methods of ethnic cleansing against the Syrian Kurds, and all ethnic and religious components.
7- Popular and human rights work from all components of Syrian society, especially in the Kurdish-majority areas, in order to confront and stop the increasing risks as a result of racist practices that depend on forced and violent displacement in order to empty the Kurdish areas of their original inhabitants, and to stand firmly in the face of all practices that adopt To change the demographic structures in order to achieve ethnic and racial goals and interests, and to disintegrate it would strike all the foundations of civil peace and coexistence.
8- Since the Kurdish issue in Syria is a national and democratic issue par excellence, and a basic symbol of civil peace and coexistence, efforts to find a democratic and just solution based on constitutional recognition of the legitimate national rights of the Kurdish people, lifting injustice from its shoulders, and canceling all discriminatory policies and their consequences should be supported. Compensation for those affected within the framework of the unity of Syria's land and people, which necessarily applies to all Syrian components that have suffered from discriminatory policies.
9 - Meeting the life, economic and humanitarian needs of the afflicted cities and the displaced inside and outside the country, and providing them with all the necessary supplies.
10- The organizations and bodies concerned with defending the values of citizenship, human rights and peaceful struggle, find safe ways and invent sound ways that contribute to spreading and consolidating the values of citizenship and tolerance among Syrians of different affiliations and affiliations, provided that they are real guarantees for maintaining the unity of Syrian society and ensuring a secure democratic future for all. His children are equal without any exception.
