Battle of Baghuz
1: The Daesh combatants who surrendered to the SDF forces are being examined and registered.
This is the daily scene in Baghouz, the last Daesh stronghold in Syria.
2: Their numbers keep increasing day by day, many women and children, starving and injured.
The SDF is also overwhelmed in handling them, and when they asked Western countries (the combatants’ home countries) to repatriate them, most Western countries refused.
3: Now there is no caliphate territory left for them to take shelter in; most of these people were formerly fugitives from Raqqah and other cities when Daesh was still in power.
4: Several Daesh combatants were caught while attempting to flee by crossing into Iraq.
However, it is believed that not a few managed to slip through at night, via tunnels, even disguising themselves as shepherds. The Syrian-Iraqi border has minimal oversight due to the vastness of the area.
5: Dozens of Yazidi children were successfully rescued from Daesh.
He asked about the condition of his hometown (Sinjar). When told that Sinjar was doing fine and awaiting his return, he couldn’t hide the look of joy on his face.
6: They were abducted when Daesh stormed Sinjar about 4-5 years ago.
Because of 4 years living with Daesh, many of these children can no longer speak in their native language (Kurdish).
And of course they were starving.
7: More and more Daesh family members are surrendering.

8: Children of Daesh families from Indonesia!!
9: Daesh children originally from Indonesia are displaced without their parents۔
10: Foreign Daesh fighters who surrendered to the Kurds.
11: Remember the Daesh kids from Indonesia
from the other day? Right after “surrendering,” they were immediately interviewed by the media.
12: Yesterday, the attack was temporarily halted due to a surge of Daesh family members coming out to surrender.
Among them was 1 from Indonesia, this time a girl.
13: Portrait of a child among the surrendering Daesh combatant wives.
Now most of them refuse to be interviewed by the media.
14: The number of Daesh combatants who have surrendered continues to keep coming.
15: Portrait of a Daesh wife and her children who fled in Baghouz.
Many of them are foreigners who came to Syria in 2014, Daesh arranged their marriages by matching them with other foreigners.
16: When their husbands were killed, Daesh would marry them off again to other fighters, and so on, even to the point where some got married up to 6 times.
