The Untold Story of Hamzah Al-Malayzi: A Harsh Reality of Conflict in Syria

In the turbulent tapestry of the Syrian conflict, the story of Hamzah Al-Malayzi, whose real name is Haninullag Ahmad, an aerospace engineer from Malaysia, embodies the tragedy and complexities that befall those who dare to dream of a different Syria. Initially, Hamzah fought for four years in Afghanistan, driven by a desire to aid the Muslim causes, before deciding to support the Syrian revolution. His expertise in unmanned aircraft manufacturing was a rare asset in the war-torn region, and he hoped to contribute significantly by targeting strategic locations like the Hmeimim Air Base, deeply entrenched with Russian-Iranian forces.

However, Hamzah's aspirations met a grim fate under the watch of Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the group dominant in the Idlib governorate of northern Syria, and known for its it’s torture tactics reminiscent of the days of the Assad regime. Reports suggest that under Jolani's command, there was a crackdown on non-HTS workshops and engineers like Hamzah, who were pivotal in developing advanced weaponry for the revolutionary fighters. These entities were presented with a stark ultimatum: align with HTS or face closure.

Hamzah’s story took a darker turn when, after multiple assassination attempts, presumably by coalition forces, he was kidnapped by HTS. He spent years in captivity, unable to defend himself in what can only be described as a shadow of a judicial process, marred by accusations of torture and lack of transparency. His eventual death was shrouded in secrecy, with his family informed abruptly that he was killed after being led to believe boy HTS officials that his release was imminent. His body was never returned to his family and was unceremoniously buried in an unmarked grave, a fate eerily common in HTS controlled territory.

This episode casts a long shadow on the judicial processes—or the lack thereof—under HTS’s rule. There seems to be a systematic approach to stifling opposition or any semblance of autonomy within the ranks of revolutionary groups that do not align with HTS’s strategic or ideological vision. The alleged policy of torture and execution without a fair trial under Jolani not only silences potential dissent but also instills a pervasive fear among the fighters and local populations.

Hamzah Al-Malayzi's death is not an isolated incident but a reflection of a larger, more disturbing pattern of governance and control within HTS territories. It raises profound concerns about the suppression of innovation and strategic development among groups that are not under the HTS umbrella.

As Syria continues to grapple with internal divisions and external pressures, the story of Hamzah Al-Malayzi serves as a somber reminder of the personal costs of war and the crushing weight of unfulfilled potential in a nation caught between the anvil of foreign interests and the hammer of Abu Muhammad Jolani.
