Guevara "The Female Sniper"

There may be a lot of male snipers but did you know there are female ones too? According to "I will not forget my children’s blood" by National Post. There is a woman who lives in Allepo located at Syria. She's well known by her nickname Guevara by her comrade, not to be confused with Che Guevara but to many residents she is simply called "the female sniper" she waits patiently at her hideout holding her Dragonov sniper while she peaks through a fist sized whole, while she watches the enemy government soldiers as she and her comrades fight to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.

Following the incident where in a government air strike hit the neighbourhood of Ansari, Guevara watched as innocent people lost there lives. Now she helps in protecting her home town against invaders. According to Guevara holding a sniper and watching her comrades die, she feels that it is her responsibility to avenge them. She is dressed in green khaki pants, a grey sweater dress, tight-fitting hijab and a camouflage combat jacket, the 36-year-old woman cleans and loads her gun all while sitting in a half-demolished building. Despite the war, her eyebrows are perfectly plucked,wears blush and a little eyeliner, wears small leather boots with heels and a gold bracelet. While not following the Muslim norms she still manages to gain command and respect of her fellow fighters, some of which are men as young as 16.

It is not easy to be a sniper, she explains. "You have to be quick, careful smart not to let them shoot you. And you have to be patient. I wait for hours at a time." She has to be one badass chick to have fought against the government.
