Day 4.

Our plan today was to drive the five hour journey west from Qamishli to the city of Kobanî.


To make the most of the day we left Qamishli just after 5am. To avoid the regime controlled neighbourhoods, we took a slightly longer route as we drove out of the city in the early morning.


On our way through Amuda, our driver, Mr. Fahad, stopped to buy some bread for breakfast for all of us at a local bakery. As we were going to be driving through some towns with possible ISIS sympathisers, we also picked up an Asayish officer to ride with us for security.
