From Instagram: “Ahin, a 13-year old Syrian Kurdish refugee from Kobani, at the beginning of the Kurdish New Year celebration, Newroz, in Suruç, Turkey, March 17, 2015. She was wearing a military-style outfit to honor the men and women fighters of the Kurdish YPG militia who defended her hometown from the Islamic State. She said her family is determined to go back home to Kobani to celebrate Newroz on March 21. She is homesick for her friends and for her two brothers who are still in Syria fighting with the YPG.
