Those sympathetic with the opposition have long accused the colectivos of shooting at protesters, while President Nicolas Maduro and his Chavista sympathizers say that it is the protestors, and not the government or the colectivos, that have caused the violence. Forty people have died since the protests began two months ago. As Syria’s civil war continues, a group of Kurds in Northeastern Syria have formed the first fighting unit made up entirely of women. Rokan Abrahim, 21, is one of dozens of young, female Kurds who have enlisted to become combat soldiers, fighting alongside their male counterparts to protect Kurdish interests in a country torn apart by war. Ismail Egilmez and his camel Crazy Hasan travel to Turkey's western town of Selcuk as part of a country-wide camel wrestling circuit. Hundreds gather around the ring to watch the matches and eat camel sausage at this traditional event that has drawn negative attention from animal rights activists.
