Telci Hamo (known in the guerrillas as Necbîr) was born in Afrin in 1975. Having met the Apoists at a young age, Necbîr joined the guerrillas in 1994. After 6 years, he fell a martyr as a result of the attack carried out by KDP collaborators.

Fatma Xelîl, the 97-year-old mother of guerrilla Necbîr, described her daughter as follows: “She was determined. She was constantly running around and trying to do something. She insisted that she would join the guerrilla after recognizing the challenge. When I said to her she was to small, she always replied that she would grow up in the struggle."

They didn’t give us her body

Fatma Hamo added: "Since I heard the news of my daughter's martyrdom, the pain in my heart has continued. It will take longer. It wasn't easy. My beautiful daughter fell a martyr as a result of the attack carried out by the KDP forces in Bashur Kurdistan. Like Necbîr there were hundreds of others young people killed… The grief struck every Kurdish mother's heart. We don't even know where our children's bodies are. We don't even have bones to bury or a grave to cry on. This is not an easily forgotten pain. The Kurdish people and Kurdish mothers will hold them accountable. Let the betrayers and collaborators never rejoice.”

Courageous, fearless, and determined

Martyr Necbîr's brother Murad Hamo shared the following about his sister: "There were two years between us. She was the smallest of the house. Everyone loved her. She was very brave and quick. She was not afraid of anything. We were living a good life as brothers, but Kurdish enemies and betrayers did not allow this. In the 1990s, I was also involved. One day, some friends came and said: 'There are two martyrs from your village, we will tell their names. We need to find their families, so that we can go there. I passed out when I read the names. At first I thought I had read it wrong. But the name was resounding in my mind. Both martyrs were ours. My mother had just undergone surgery. She had been discharged but still not healed. How was this news to be given to her at a time like this? It was very difficult…”

Oppression over oppression

Pointing out that the Baath regime also increased its pressure after the martyrdom of her sister, Murad Hamo said: “The regime was not letting us breath. How many times have they come to the village and attacked our house? Twice they detained me. Along with the persecution of betrayal, we were also exposed to the attacks by the regime.”

Drawing attention to his mother's condition, Murad said: "My mother is 97 years old. She has no memory. However, she is still persistent in her struggle. Her two daughters fell martyrs. I will continue the struggle I have known for 30 years, she says. She doesn't remember many things, but she still participates in demonstrations and martyrs' ceremonies everywhere. Four thousand Kurdish youth guerrillas were lost because of this betrayal. We strongly condemn this treacherous attitude. Everyone should condemn it and fight against it.”
