A 19 year old Angelina Jolie
look alike Syrian was killed today defending her country against ISIS. The
girl, Asia Ramazan Antar was one of the most famous
faces of the fight against ISIS, but now the 19-year-old dubbed the “Kurdish
Angelina Jolie” is dead after sacrificing her life to stop a trio of ISIS
suicide bombers.
Antar
was a soldier with the famed Syrian Kurdish Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), an
all-woman force that had been taking the fight to ISIS in the war-torn country.
She gained fame for her youthful good looks and her apparent similarity to
actress Angelina Jolie, as well as her feminist stance in a region where women
are often oppressed.
But
Antar’s short life came to an end this week when she stopped a trio of
bomb-strapped cars making their way to the Kurdish front lines in Syria. As the Times reported,
Antar and her fellow YPJ fighters went on the offensive, taking out two of the
cars. The third car was able to get closer to the Kurdish fighters, exploding
and killing Asia Ramazan Antar.
“She
and her fellows blew up two of them but the last was very close to her when it
exploded,” said Commander Shirin Abdullah, a spokeswoman for the YPJ.
Antar
had been part of a unit guarding the village of al-Yashli, which remained
protected after the ISIS suicide bombing was thwarted.
Asia
Ramazan Antar first gained fame in western media for her good looks, but those
close to the teenage fighter said there was much more to her life. Antar, who
was reportedly forced into marriage as a teenager but divorced after three
months, joined the all-women Kurdish military unit in 2014 to free Syrian women
from patriarchal domination, the International Business Times reported.
“She
always said that her battles against Daesh [ISIS] were battles against the
ugliness of their views and to build a better life,” Abdullah said.
Indeed the war against ISIS is ugly, very ugly even as it has claimed a beautiful life like Asia's. It's heartbroken to see a beautiful girl like Asia fighting a war against evil as against been a a wife or a celebrity like Angelina Jolie.
Just at 17, Asia Ramazan Antar took up arms to fight against the ideologies of the evil called ISIS in other to build a better life, but she lost that battle.
i join her fans around the world to celebrate her courage and take a stand against Islamic terrorism. May her beautiful soul find peace.
