The tenth anniversary of the abduction of the eight officers

ARK News: Saturday, 16/4/2023, marks the tenth anniversary of the disappearance and abduction of the eight Kurdish officers who are dissidents from the Syrian regime, and although abducted in areas under the control of the Democratic Unionist Party (PDP) in Syrian Kurdistan, the PYD denies the presence of the eight officers in their jails or the recognition of their extradition to the Syrian regime.

After the outbreak of the Syrian revolution and because of the repression practiced by the Syrian regime against the defenseless Syrian people at that time, thousands of elements and officers broke away from the regime's army, and hundreds of Kurds, were forced into military service and volunteers, also broke away from the regime's army.

In April 2013, eight Kurdish officers from Afrin, Kobani, and al-Bab areas dissident from the Syrian army and decided to come to the Kurdistan Region after arriving at Qamishlo city in Syrian Kurdistan, which was still under the control of the PYD, the communication was interrupted on 16-17 / 4/2013 with them and no information about them until the preparation of the report.

The eight officers are:

-Brigadier General Mohammed Khalil Ali from al-Bab City East Aleppo
-Colonel Mohammed Haitham from the Afrin region
-Colonel Hasan Oso from the Afrin region
-Colonel Mohammed Gula Khairi from the Afrin region
-Lt. Col. Shawqi Osman from Afrin Region
-Major Bahzad Na'so from the Afrin region
-Captain Hussein Bakir from the Afrin region
-First Lieutenant Adnan Barazi from Kobani City


Thus the fate of the eight Kurdish officers remains unknown despite the fact that tens of years have passed since their disappearance and kidnapping.
