Translation by Yusra Ahmed
(Zaman Al Wasl)- Abo Khalid have lost his brother-in-law and all his children, he will never hear the word “uncle” after that, but the tragedy is that he does not know where they graves are, to at least visit them and pray for them, this is one of the uncountable painful stories of Syrian people after a 5-years-civil war.
Shahira Shehadeh, 50, has another painful story, started in November 26, 2011, when the regime forces invaded her village “Eastern Boweda” in the North countryside of Qusayr, raising a slogan “to wipe it out”.
Om Mohammed was not aware that her family would be wiped out in that invasion, as she lost her husband, eldest son, 25, who got married only two month before his was killed, and her second son, 22, who used to work in a medicine factory, and her youngest son,12, a student in grade 6.
Shahira has only one son left after the massacre, Ahmed, 23 years old, who defected from the Fourth Troupe shortly after the massacre that killed his father and three brothers.
Ahmed had defected to join the Free Syrian Army (FSA), to revenge for his father and family and all those who were killed by the Syrian regime.
Om Mohamood was keen to get her only-left-son married, who then had two children, Mahmood, a year and 9 months old, and Aisha, 9 month old.
In the end, Ahmed joined the FSA in Latakia, in Jabal al-Turkmen, where he was killed by a rocket in April 28 this year to join his father and brother to the other world after 5 years, putting the end for another Syrian family, leaving his mother and wife living among memories of a family was called the family of “Abo Mahmood”.
