Kanafani emigrated to Canada in 2002, after working in the United Arab Emirates.[3] She and her husband raised a family in Toronto. In the months leading up to her decision to volunteer Kanafani described participating in social media discussions about the unrest in Syria, and the number of deaths of innocent civilians.[1] She described being encouraged to volunteer by her older brother. Her husband and children joined her, and established a home in Egypt prior to her travel to Turkey for military training. The Free Syrian Army broadcast a YouTube recruiting video showing Kanafani surrounded by other fighters, where she announced she had joined the Banner of Damascus Falcons Troop of Aleppo Martyrs. In early August 2012 Kanafani had crossed back into Turkey, after two of her bodyguards were killed. In October 2012 Armina Ligaya writing in the National Post reported on Kanafani's return to Canada.[10] She quoted Kanafani remaining committed to return to Syria. Kanafani had not served as a front-line fighter, and had not been called upon to fire her weapon. Her duties had consisted of committee meetings, visiting refugee camps, and other recruiting activities. Kanafani had also gone underground, and had scouted areas still occupied by al-Assad loyalists. In an October 2012 profile of Khaled Sawaf, president of the Syrian Canadian Council, Simon Kent, writing in the Toronto Sun, reported that Sawaf described Kanafani.[12] In 2015 the Toronto Star described Kanafani as having left the front lines after growing disillusioned.[13] References1. ^{{Citation|last = Reemkanafani1|title = Translation Thwaiba Kanafani joins Syrian Free Army-----3.wmv|date = 2012-07-07|url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QUDQePKhI0|accessdate = 2016-04-22}} [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]2. ^1 {{cite news | url = http://www.torontosun.com/2012/10/09/a-call-to-arms-in-syria| title = A call to arms in Syria| publisher = Toronto Sun| author = Simon Kent| date = | page = | location = | accessdate = 2015-03-24| quote = Sawaf spoke as Thwaiba Kanafani, a Toronto mother of two, told of her work as an active member of the Free Syrian Army.}} 3. ^1 {{cite news | url = http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/world/middleeast/article3499873.ece| title = ‘I don’t know if I will ever go back to my children.
