Tel Tamir, Syria<\/p>\n Dear friends, Thank you for your outpouring of love, prayers, and support as we grieve the loss of Zau Seng, our brother and Kachin Ranger who served with us in Burma, Iraq, and Syria as both cameraman and medic. It is a great loss and yet we are encouraged to hear from so many who knew and loved him. Last week people here honored Zau Seng<\/a>\u00a0as one of their own alongside fallen soldiers from the Syrian Democratic Forces\u00a0(SDF). On Nov. 2, our team rescued three people from the Kasmia Village area (about four kilometers northeast of Tel Tamir) and Zau Seng was there filming it all. The next day, we rescued two more people, sent them out of the area, and kept moving our location. Zau Seng was there with us<\/span>, on Nov. 3<\/span>, editing the footage from Nov. 2 before and after the rescues. He finished the footage just before we were hit at 2:28 p.m. His last video is available here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Zau died instantly in the hit, even though we did everything we could to save him. Two of our team members, Jason and Mohammad, were also hit in the attack but are stable and doing okay now. We are not sure yet if it was a drone or mortar that hit us.<\/span><\/p>\n Then, on Nov. 4, two civilians were wounded by another attack in the same place we were attacked the day before. As the fighting here continues, so we, too, continue to help anyone we can. It\u2019s what Zau Seng would have wanted and so while our hearts are heavy, we move forward with our mission here to love and help those under attack. Back in March of this year, Zau Seng shared with one of our team that he\u00a0<\/span>wanted to continue to go<\/span>\u00a0to the Middle East\u00a0<\/span>when<\/span>\u00a0given the chance because \u201cthere are still constant battles so the civilians have to constantly flee. When they flee to us, we, the FBR, give them medical care and distribute food. I still want to go back and do those things, and at the same time, record and report the situation.\u201d \u201cI want to go back and help until it is finished\u2026 The main thing I would like to say is that I am able to go and help because of God,\u201d he said. \u201cI can’t do much but I am able to report what is happening there. Now, in Iraq and Syria, I am able to go and help and I am thankful for that opportunity. [Sometimes] I feel sad, [because] I don’t know what to do. The one thing I know as a cameraman is to report what is happening here and report to the world.\u201d Always ready to go and film wherever attacks were happening, Zau Seng filmed a lot over his 13 years as a Ranger. He filmed Burma Army airstrikes against civilians. He filmed on the streets of Mosul during ISIS\u2019 final days there. And he filmed\u00a0<\/span>in Syria<\/span>, showing the world that there has been no ceasefire and the cost of fighting\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0the civilians who have fled this area.<\/span><\/p>\n We hope that with these videos and the tributes below you will be able to know our brother Zau Seng and understand his heart for helping people and getting the news out. Zau, we are continuing on in your honor and memory. We will continue to get the news out from here. We will continue to love and laugh as best we can and we will take care of your family. We love you<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0Zau Seng<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and will never forget your legacy and sacrifice.<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you and God bless you,<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Zau](\"https:\/\/www.freeburmarangers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0206-1.jpg\")
