Tell Shamiram or Tell Shamiran (Arabic: تل شميرام أو تل شميران), also known as Marbisho[1] [2] (Arabic: ماربيشو), is a village near Tell Tamer in western al-Hasakah Governorate, northeastern Syria. Administratively it belongs to the Nahiya Tell Tamer.
The village is inhabited by Assyrians belonging to the Assyrian Church of the East, and Arabs.[3] At the 2004 census, it had a population of 811.
It is located on the Khabour River near the confluence with the Zirgan River, about 70km (40miles) south of the border with Turkey.[4] [5]
The village was settled by Assyrian refugees in 1933 who moved following the Simele massacre to French controlled Syria to settle in a 25km (16miles) stretch of the Khabur River in 35 settlements.
In February 2015 the village was taken by the Islamic State militia during the Eastern al-Hasakah offensive,[6] resulting in the abduction of about 90, mainly elderly, residents.[7] Several thousand residents fled the city, mostly to the city of al-Hasakah, with some eventually reaching Lebanon. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the village has been emptied of people by 1 March 2015.[8]
