Author-Activist Samar Yazbek Speaks About The Syrian Uprising From Exile

"For nearly two  years, we’ve been watching the incredulous events unfold in the Syrian revolt against the Assad regime."

I've always tended to use 'they' as a third personal singular personal pronoun where gender was in doubt, but to each their own. And you may be incredulous when you witness the incredible.

EYE: Do you feel like you have a mission?
YAZBEK: Yes, it is the mission of every intellectual to change the reality of the despotism in which he lives.
