Hayyan is only one of thousands of young people in Al-Waer who are eligible for forced conscription or reserve duty, and who have preferred to remain in the rebel-held enclave since 2011 and did not travel abroad. 
Hayyan ni mmoja wa maelfu ya vijana wa Al-Waer walio na sifa ya kujiunga na jeshi au kujiunga na vikosi vya dharura na aliyeamua kubakia kwenye eneo lililozungukwa na waasi tangu mwaka 2011 bila ya kusafiri kwenda ng'ambo.
