How do we understand Ali Mustafa as an embedded journalist with a unit of Rebel fighters in Aleppo? How do we understand his work as a rescue worker, crossing the boundary from observing to participating in the struggle of the Syrian people? Ali's commitment to the Syrian Revolution forces us to examine the political context of his death and ask what solidarity duties was he fulfilling. While many of us have been stepping back, Ali's fearless courage urges all of us to step forward and fulfill our own solidarity duties towards Syria.
