The Voice of a Kurdish Woman, Doing Battle in Qamishli
We speak with a fighter from the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), an all-female fighting unit established by the PYD.
Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Syria Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on May 15, 2018, and transitioned some of our coverage to Peacebuilding Deeply, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on the Syrian conflict. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].
Thomas McGee is a scholar in Kurdish Studies focusing on the Kurds of Syria and their civil society initiatives. Karen Leigh is the managing editor of News Deeply.
