She's made here fortune from a life of crime, and most of here Male family members have spilled blood for her, so this "matriarch" is ready to retire. Link to article here. Excerpt:
'The matriarch of the Chaouk family has "put her foot down" and urged her relatives to end their deadly dispute with the rival Haddara clan.
Cancer-stricken widow Fatma Chaouk is "sick and tired and dying" and does not want to see any more family members killed, barrister Tas Roubos told the Victorian County Court on Monday.
Mrs Chaouk's change of attitude comes after the death of her husband Macchour, who was gunned down in the backyard of the family's western Melbourne home in August.'

"Women are the peacemakers"
As ridiculous a generalization as "Men are the war-makers".
She seemed fine with being a war-maker until only recently. Most people want to stop whatever fight they are in when they realize they are losing it. No surprises here.
