From AFP News Agency.
Dozens of women gather in Erbil, the capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, to braid each other’s hair in a show of support, after a Syrian soldier bragged in a video about cutting off a Kurdish fighter’s braid in Raqa. Thirty-year-old protester Darin Masoum, whose family is in northeastern Syria, says that the act is "for our sisters, whom we support. We will always stand by them." Protesters were showing support for Syrian Kurds, as Syrian government troops have recently been retaking parts of the country held by the Kurds’ de facto autonomous administration, which administration has long touted the participation of women in its armed forces.
