Syrian Democratic Forces Overrun Last ISIS Village In Syria
“US-backed forces captured the last major town held by ISIS in eastern Syria on Wednesday, and are now sweeping surrounding villages for remnants of the militant group, activists said.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, a coalition of Arab and Kurdish fighters, have seized several eastern villages from ISIS, including Hajin, Al Shaafa and Sousa, in recent weeks.
On Wednesday, they captured Al Baghouz, the last major town under militant control, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Observatory said search operations are ongoing to find any ISIS fighters who may have gone into hiding in the town.
It also said that the SDF are working to clear militants from farmlands around Al Baghouz.
The war monitor said that ISIS defences in Al Baghouz "collapsed" after hundreds of militants fled the area over the past two days.
The Observatory said nearly 500 ISIS fighters and thousands of their relatives have fled the group's last bastion since Monday.
This raises the total number of people who have escaped ISIS territory since December to over 27,000, according to the war monitor.
The SDF posted pictures on social media networks on Wednesday purporting to show those who have fled ISIS territory, including the relatives of militants.”
My comments : There are or were 53 Malaysian ISIS fighters / families in Syria.
24 men, 12 women, nine boys and eight girls. What has happened to them?
Many of these crows will now be coming home to roost. Not just Malaysian ISIS people but also various Arabs, Afghans, Pakistanis from UK, Indian Muslims from India, Russian Chechens, Chinese Uighurs etc. Media reports say there were 40,000 foreign fighters with ISIS [in the Middle East].
Many of these fighters CANNOT return back to their home countries.
The Uyghurs cannot go back to China, the Chechens cannot go back to Russia, the UK Pakistanis cannot go back to UK, the Indian Muslims cannot go back to India.
Will they be welcome in Malaysia? Maybe they will end up in Perlis again?
Tuan-tuan keep your eyes open. Turn on the otak as well.
