Some goats in the back of a Hyundai truck as we passed through Qamishli on our way to Amuda. On the left is a billboard of Abdullah Öcalan. Öcalan is one of the founding members of the Kurdish militant organization, the PKK. In July 1979 he fled Turkey and into Syria where he remained until October 1998 when Syria expelled him. He was captured in Kenya in February 1999 and has remained in Turkish custody ever since.


We finally arrived in Amuda just after 2pm and went to the media centre to register our arrival and obtain the necessary paperwork for our drive tomorrow to Kobanî.
