Eighteen-year-old Musa Mihemed Tacedin from the Meyselun neighborhood of Qamishlo became paralyzed in both legs in 2023 due to a spinal cord injury.
At a time when all of Rojava was mobilizing against the attacks, Musa wanted to stand alongside the resistance and raise their morale.
Musa Tacedin walks on two crutches and has metal plates in both legs. He stands at a checkpoint set up by local residents near his home.
Musa Tacedin says he wants to boost the morale of the fighters with his presence and emphasizes that Kurds must unite against the attacks carried out against them.
