Teenagers from ISIS families receiving treatment at the Al Hol camp in Syria

  Numerous youngsters have been living in a camp in northeastern Syria for at least four years, raising their families among ISIS fighters while being exposed to the violent ideology of the organization and having little to no possibility of receiving an education. The Kurdish officials who rule eastern and northern Syria are experimenting with a rehabilitation program aimed at removing youngsters from extremist ideas out of fear that a new generation of militants may emerge from Al Hol camp. It entails separating kids from their family for an unforeseen amount of time, a practice human rights organizations have expressed concern over. Even if they are found to be rehabilitated, their future is uncertain because their home nations are hesitant to accept them. Khaled Remo, co-chair of the office of law and reform affairs in the Kurdish-led government, warned that if the children remained in the camp, a new generation of extremists may emerge who might be even more fervent th...

Suspicion about Afghan evacuee having links with ISIS, Daesh grow in Qatar

  Qatar has been excelling in turning things in its favor for years. Despite the certain thing   possessing a threat in the region, Qatar remains adamant about having to fetch out benefits from a particular resource and exploit it to the maximum and it has become even more evident in the last few days. Seeking shelter, many Afghan refugees flew to Qatar and plan to stay there till some other permanent arrangements are not made. In the name of giving them facilities, Qatar merely gave them a tent, where hundreds of people were asked to use one washroom. Not only does this highlight human rights violations in the country but also the inhumane approach Qatar is capable of taking against people. Even now, when reports about some of the Afghan evacuees having link with terror bodies like ISIS and Daesh came into the picture, one would assume that Qatar will take some calls keeping the safety of the region in mind but on the contrary, the country is focused towards finding ways ...

  I want to share this intriguing news I have read today. It is reported that a convoy of 45 vehicles  o f covered trucks, oil tankers and a number of refrigerators left the Syrian territories towards Iraq. The trucks were loaded with wheat from the silos of Tal Alo and left through the al-Walid crossing. American troops brought out a convoy of 27 military vehicles, including Hummer cars and armored vehicles, trucks laden with stolen wheat and oil tankers stolen from the Syrian oil fields. A military leader said that the forces destroyed many hideouts, and uncovered roads and tunnels used by militants to smuggle weapons across the Syrian-Iraqi border. An SDF spokesman, Farhad Shami, announced that the operation targeted a desert area where ISIS movement was detected and that was used to smuggle mercenaries and weapons into Syrian territory. The SDF had launched numerous campaigns to pursue ISIS remnants, however, they have yet to stop terrorist activity in the region.

Pope Francis promotes tolerance on his visit to Ur in Iraq

  Pope Francis is a huge religious figure who holds a lot of influence and power over a huge section of the society. Pope recently concluded his historic visit to Iraq, which was a three-day affair, where he promoted hope, peace and fraternity among people. It was a jam packed trip for Pope as he visited a lot of historic places and different cities especially Ur where Jews, Christians and Muslims have a common belief unit as they unite to preach common patriarch Abraham.  He gave a strong statement from the city when he denounced extremism as a “betrayal of religion.” Francis visited the ruins of Ur in Southern Iraq and stressed on the enforcement of peace and inter-religious tolerance. On his first visit to the country, the religious figure spread the message in all sections of the religion as well as the ethnic divisions. This is after Iraq is witnessing not only political turmoil as well some religious difficulties. He addressed the congregation, a group that include...
