HPG Fırat Pirsus (Mustafa Aslan), followed the example of PKK guerrilla Zeynep Kınacı in 1996, and carried out an action that caused the Turkish government forces118 losses and the destruction of dozens of vehicles. 

Mustafa Aslan carried out his action on 26 August 2016, after personally preparing his target, planning and making all preparations.

Mustafa Aslan was born in Urfa in 1989. He left the university after 2 years and joined the guerrilla ranks in 2012.

Completing the basic guerrilla training cycle, Aslan was made responsible for education because of his mature and responsible life stance.

Every guerrilla who gives education in line with the philosophy and ideas of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan, is heavily influenced and bound by Aslan' determined, moral, scholar and altruist character.

Aslan was fully bound to the struggle values of his people and his party, the PKK. What most prompted his action was the isolation of Öcalan.

Aslan, who joined the Silopi city resistance in 2014, then moved on to the Botan-Cudi area. His grudge and anger doubled when he closely witnessed how the state committed massacres without discriminating between civilian and guerrillas during the city resistance.

Aslan decided to carry out a big action. Just 20 years after Zeynep Kınacı (Zilan), Aslan carefully planned his action. As he couldn't drive he learned in a mountainous terrain in few days.

The aim of Aslan is walk towards death, not to die. Volunteering to pay the price that human dignity should not be given up he wanted to be the voice of the oppressed. That's why he decided to carry out his action.

Aslan is on the Şırnak-Cizre road on 26 August 2016, described as a fortress by the state, a place which played a headquarters role in the war / massacres of Cizre.

The campus, which hosts MIT, district governorships, police lodgings and special operations centers, with its explosive laden trucks is Aslan's target.

The Turkish state lost 118 personnel in that action and had dozens of vehicles destroyed. The explosions continued for 4 hours.
