Shirine was accompanied by her 32-year-old husband, a Norwegian of Algerian decent, who was killed in action two months after the couple arrived in Syria. After her husband’s death, Shirine decided to stay in the country and continue what she deemed to be a war against injustice.
The relatively normal and liberal couple could not be described as “militants” or supporters of any terrorist group, according to their friends in Oslo.
In fact, Shirine is described as a “normal, young Norwegian girl who liked to party, have fun and live her life,” one of her friends, who spoke to Al Arabiya English on condition of anonymity, said. The friend added that she is shocked but proud of Shirine's decision.
Shirine states that she joined the Syrian opposition to help the people of the country.
“When we went to the Syria, we weren’t sure what we could do for the Syrian people, but doing anything is considered something. My husband joined the rebel army and I tried to mainly provide food and water for the villagers,” she told Al Arabiya English.
Her husband was injured in a rocket attack while he was on his way to get food. He was then transferred to a hospital in Idlib with wounds in his upper body, he did not survive his injuries.
