[2] Enab Baladi newspaper was launched in 2011 by a group of citizen journalists and activists from Daraya, a Syrian town in Damascus suburbs.

Since then, it has been printed each week on Sundays, with one two-week stoppage in August 2012 due to the Darayya massacre committed by Assad forces.

The French magazine Elle published an article about EB's women team, "THE "GANG OF GIRLS" RISKS THEIR LIVES TO REPORT FROM INSIDE A WAR ZONE".

The article tells the story of one of them, Kholoud Waleed, and highlights the role that women played in the establishment of the newspaper, the challenges they faced during their work as citizen journalists in Syria and the success they achieved.

Enab Baladi built relationships with many international organizations such as National Endowment for Democracy,[11] Internews, Free Press Unlimited, European Endowment for Democracy, l'Association de Soutien aux Médias Libres, Adopt a Revolution, L'agence française de coopération médias, Norwegian People's Aid, and International Media Support.
