RÊBER ANDOK
Our comrade Rêber was born in the capital of our freedom struggle in Diyarbakir to a patriotic family. Still in his childhood he saw the pressure and oppression of the enemy, witnessed the burning of his village. So even in childhood a great anger against the enemy grew in his heart. Our comrade Leader took part in the activities of our people in 2006 when he rose up in all parts of Kurdistan, especially in Diyarbakir, condemning the uprising and the genocidal policies of the enemy. In these actions we saw that the enemy was killing our people. He was also tortured in those enemy attacks and this situation increased his desire to fight many times over. As a result of deepening, he joined the guerrilla ranks from Diyarbak .r in 2011. Influenced by the guerrilla relations and the life of the PKK, our comrade Leader decided to join. This decision would determine the nature of his struggle. The advantage of learning guerrilla warfare and art in the field of practice was best appreciated and in a short time he became a skilled guerrilla. With courage and sacrifice he fulfilled his pioneering mission in every moment of life and war and on this basis he tried to become worthy of his martyred comrades. In 2014, when the ISIS gangs attacked our people in Sinjar, like any other Apoyi militant, he wanted to be with our Yezidi community, to save them from the attacks of the gangs. He took his place in the humanitarian corridor where hundreds of thousands of our people were rescued from the attacks of the gangs and then fought in the front lines in the fight against the gangs and did a great job for the freedom of Sinjar. He later took part in rescue operations in the West Bank, although he was wounded several times during these operations, and continued his determination to fight and did a significant job in rescuing the people of Northern and Eastern Syria.
Our comrade Rêber had great military experience during the war, witnessed the heroism of many of our sacrificed comrades. Under the influence of these selfless comrades, he joined the Special Forces and returned to the mountains of Kurdistan. With his ideological training and military experience he became a skilled commander, Adil Biliki and Reşit Serdar set an example and walked with confidence steps to become a successful commander. He fought valiantly against the enemy attacks of 2021 lis er Avaşin and had a significant effort to defeat the enemy. with his humility and sincere companionship took his place in the hearts of all his comrades.
