The massacre was committed against the people of the village because the Syrian regime did not want the Kurdistan flag to fly in the sky of the Kurdish villages, towns and regions, nor did it carry out in any activity and effectiveness against it, and because the people of the village were Kurds and did not follow the thought and doctrine of the PKK, as the Kurdistan flag was flying in the sky of their village and they want to protect their village from any danger after two years have passed since the peaceful movement in Syria turned into a military movement and complete chaos in the Arab towns and villages adjacent to the village of Burj Abdalo.
