One man's war against Isis - PHOTO

Delkhwaz Sheikh Ahmad, a father-of-two, is currently living in the Turkish town of Suruc after fleeing there with his wife and sons. But the 22-year-old is hoping to sneak back across the border into Kobane to help with the fight to stop the town falling to ISIS jihadists. He said: 'It is hard, but we will get back in because our friends are there. We have to get inside, even if there is hardship, we will get inside.' Mr Ahmad was a conscript serving his military service in Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's army when the Syrian revolution broke out three years ago. During the conflict, the Syrian Kurd, who was only a teenager at the time, was seriously wounded in Daraa, while fighting rebels. The bullet that hit him narrowly missed his heart, and he was sent to his home village of Metina to recover. But his injury didn't stop his desire to fight and soon after returning home he joined a local self-defence force, who were protecting the village. The force then ended up fighting against four separate rebel groups, which included the Western-backed Free Syrian Army, the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, the Raqqa Brigade and ISIS.His militia eventually joined the main Kurdish militia, the People's Protection Units, also known as YPG which joined forces with the Raqqa Brigade. The YPG are now embroiled in a fierce fight for the town of Kobane and he has already lost two cousins and many of his friends in the conflict. As ISIS then started to advance closer to Kobane, and fearing for his family's safety he evacuated his wife Siham and their two sons three-year-old Ibrahim and Dilyar, two, to Turkey last month. They now live with his brother in Suruc across the Turkish border but Mr Ahmad stayed behind to help defend Kobane. Every few weeks, he takes a couple of days to cross the border into Turkey to visit his family. But with the crossing closed, he is now stuck in Turkey and desperate to get back to Kobane with several other fighters. He explained: 'We just want to defend our lands, our towns, our villages, where Kurdish people are.' (dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
