Is it Moshe or Mouche? I wrote Mouche at first because I was afraid to Hebraise the Aramaic...
'The authorities of the Autonomous Administration (Democratic) of North and East Syria AANES, prevented Mr. Gabriel Moshe Kourieh, member of the Assyrian Democratic Organization ADO and director of the Relations from traveling to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, on 28/8/2021..'
'..where he intended to go to Erbil through the Simalka crossing to attend a meeting with the German consulate scheduled for 08/30/2021, in order to obtain a visa to participate in a workshop in Germany.'
The Assyrian Democratic Organisation (ADO) is part of the Peace & Freedom Front. A few weeks ago a delegation of this bloc (Kurds / Arabs / Assyrians ) was blocked to leave Northeast Syria by the authorities there. Most of their leaders are expelled from arknews.net/en/node/21627
..so they can only meet them outside Northeast Syria.
's Middags lezen, 's avonds schrijven. Daartussen fitnessen en zwemmen. Gaan jullie maar door naar augustus, of september, ik blijf nog graag in juli hangen.
We plakken er trouwens net zo'n augustus aan. Kon het alleen maar juli & augustus zijn..
Jongens ik geef het toe. Werken in 30C is best een beetje warm. Ik doe nooit aan airco's, alleen ramen open. 15 minuten per elke 15 minuten ( niet per dag ). #zweetgutstoverhetgezicht#handdoekbijdehand
'Turkish Tel Abyad', that is how the vast majority of its inhabitants (Arabs) call the Turkish half of Tel Abyad. I wanted to see it with my own eyes, cuz I wondered if the town was like half Turkish half Arab or majority Arab. It is absolutely the latter. It is an Arab town.
Of course, education, services and so on are Turkish and jn Turkish. But the Arab inhabitants speak Arabic among themselves. They are bilingual. Same goes 4 the town of Harran, roughly between Şanlıurfa and Akçakale. Ak = white, kale = castle/the Turkish translation of Tel Abyad.
What I also learned, the Arabic of Akçakale/Turkish Tel Abyad, Harran and Şanliurfa (mixed population) is like Iraqi Arabic, to my surprise. It started already in the hotel where a waitor said 'aani' (ana, Iraqi way). In Akçakale I heard a lot of -ich instead of -ik: beitich.
A Syrian Kurdish activist: The US knew they were supporting and arming the PKK/a terrorist organization. Why they haven't been supporting/arming the moderate Kurdish forces? Then this escalation with Turkey could have been avoided. Now ordinary ppl fall into poverty cuz they lost
..their homes. And they will never return to the places where they lost their homes, and if white phospherous was used by the Turks, it will contaminate the water, cause cancer also in those places. Ppl will never return, will rest of their life live in poverty.
And update from #Amouda: "YPG-fighters are destroying their tunnel system in town (which is under everywhere in town - seen it)."
