Infinitely Brave Asia Ramazan Antar, Known As The ‘Kurdish Angelina Jolie,’ Killed While Fighting ISIS

Asia Ramazan Antar, who fought along with Women’s Protection Units (YPU) against ISIS, was killed this week. The badass was known as the “Kurdish Angelina Jolie” because of her resemblance to the Hollywood star (However, I think she looks more like a young Penelope Cruz). But Asia was much more than just a pretty face. At only 18-years-old, Asia joined the Kurdish YPG in 2014. She was became one of the highest ranking soldiers in the YPU at only 22-years-old.

Asia died during a fierce battle between Kurds and ISIS in the town of Jarabulus near Syria’s border with Turkey. The We Want Freedom for Kurdistan Facebook page said she was “martyred in a battle against Daesh.”

Thank you for your service Asia Ramazan Antar.
