Hammud said that they could not live freely on their own land because ISIS gangs constantly interfered in their lives, and prevented men from smoking cigarettes or watching TV. Men were also forced to grow beards and go to Raqqa freely, and women were forced to wear black veils.

Hammud stated that him and other civilians are now free and they would determine how they will live, and expressed his gratitude for Wrath of Euphrates fighters.
