According to a video posted to YouTube, the Free Syrian Army now has its own all-female brigade of fighters, named Khawla Bent Azour (alternatively spelled Bint Al-Azwar) after a famous female warrior poet of the 7th century. The brigade has been formed in the city of Deraa and the women in the video declare that they will patrol the south in support of the anti-regime protesters and to keep their country safe where the Arab League and the international community have been unable to do so.

Remembering #Jan25: Days of Rage and Dignity.  The Egyptian revolution really isn’t over, but the eighteen days of rallying and demonstrating across Egypt starting on 25 January 2011 that ultimately ousted longtime dictator Mubarak deserve an incredible amount of celebration.

Here is a photographic retrospective of those eighteen days, shot by some of the best. I will never fail to be blown away by the images of the demonstrations in Tahrir.
