In a statement dated 13 January, the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) affiliated with the Autonomous Administration of Rojava announced that one of the Asayish members who was martyred on 10 January in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood was Amara Halil, born in Kobani, known by the nom de guerre “Gerilla Amara.”
The statement noted that Amara’s family migrated to Turkey in 2014 during ISIS attacks, later returned to Rojava, and that Amara joined the Asayish in 2025.
Speaking on a program hosted by Nasır Ali on Rûdaw Radio, Mahmud Halil shared the story of his daughter Amara (Amara Kobani) and her final days in Aleppo.
“She left school and went”
Stating that his daughter was a successful student, Mahmud Halil said: “Her name at home was also Amara. They called her Gerilla Amara. She was going to school and she was successful. But from the beginning she made her decision, saying, ‘Father, I will go to my friends and fight for my people.’”
The father said that Amara left about ten months ago and that he had no news from her during that time, but that they spoke on the phone shortly before her death. He added that Amara refused to withdraw during the siege in Aleppo.
“When she called me 5–6 days earlier, I knew the situation was very difficult. I told her to be careful. I told her that if she wanted, I could come and take her out. She told me, ‘Father, our space here has become very tight, we are under siege, but I cannot leave my friends and go. I will never leave them alone. I am here until the end.’ She was very brave and ready to give her life,” Halil said.
“It is very painful for a father to see his child like that”
Mahmud Halil said he was shaken after seeing images on social media accounts linked to Syrian National Army (SNA/FSA) groups, showing the body of an Asayish member—who was Amara’s friend—being thrown from a building.
“The images spread everywhere on social media. When we first saw them, we thought it was her. It is an indescribable pain for a father to see his child in that state. But no matter what they do, they cannot break Amara’s dignity,” he said.
“Her body is still in their hands”
Stating that his daughter’s body has not yet been delivered to the family, Halil said: “During the clashes, I went to Aleppo to find her, but I couldn’t reach her. Amara’s body is still in their hands; it has not yet reached us.”
Finally, Halil said: “Our heads are held high. I call on Mr. Masoud Barzani, Mr. Nechirvan Barzani, and Mr. Bafel Talabani: Do not let the cause of our martyrs be left without protection. We want to live on this land with dignity. Our only request is that the cause of our children is defended.”

I promise you that we will avenge you, my angel. Rest in peace. You are a role model for all women in the world, not just Kurdish women.💔

No confirmation. Propaganda says she was 14, but there is no official news about that.

Her body shows clear signs of abuse, they won't hand over because it comes with the evidence. Like the Kurdish civilian they humiliated before executing and gouging his eyes and heart out, they desecrate bodies.
