20-year-old Mahmud Mustafa (l), together with his 16 year old employee Ahmad Ali (r), is standing behind the desk of his butcher store in Kobane. Mahmud has a flock of 200 sheep in a village near Kobane. At the beginning of the fights, he remained there, helped the „People's Defense Units“ (YPG) fighters slaughtering animals and supplied them with meat for free, Mahmud tells. Then he fled to Turkey with his sheep and returned to Kobane 4 months ago. A kilo of mutton costs 2000 Syrian pounds and it is too expensive for the people and they prefer to buy chicken, Mahmud says. Kobanê (Ayn al-Arab), Syria, June 22, 2015
