About 1850 children and women from 44 different nationalities around the world are without a homeland, their countries reject them and keep them in the east Euphrates camps

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights obtained information from several reliable sources who confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that hundreds of children and women in addition to hundreds of members of the “Islamic State” Organization, who were got away of the fighting as a result of their arrest, capture, transferred, or after they fled from areas of control of the “Islamic State” Organization, they have become displaced in camps sheltering them in the Syria Democratic Forces’ controlled areas, and in the details obtained by the Syrian Observatory, there are 1248 children and 584 women of 44 different nationalities from the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa, are in camps held under heavy security by the Syria Democratic Forces, within their areas of control east of Euphrates, they belong to family members and leaders of the “Islamic State” Organization, and came to the Syrian territory through various routes, a large portion of which was through the Turkish territory.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned from the same sources that the children and women in the camp are receiving medical and health services, as well as providing the basic necessities for life, also there are about 1000 members and leaders of the “Islamic State” Organization of different Arab and western nationalities, where the problem of those already mentioned has worsened as a result of their countries’ refusal to accept their return, and the common cause of most the countries was as a result of fear of return of the activities of the former ISIS members within their host countries, in addition to hidden causes that have not been declared after their participating in hostilities within the ranks of the “Islamic State” in Syria and occasionally during their movement to the Iraqi side, and despite the communication of those in charge of the east of Euphrates with the their own countries, they have refused -so far- to receive those displaced people, whose problem has turned from being part of the Organization to being people without a homeland.

Also, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights conducted a statistic for the remaining stateless children and women, according to geographical or logistic similarity:

• America, Canada, Venezuela: 6 children and 4 women
• Britain, France, Germany, Romania, Macedonia, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Italy, Kosovo: 191 children and 86 women
• Turkey: 148 children and 77 women
• Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan: 208 children and 97 women
• Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Lebanon: 71 children and 39 women
• Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria: 392 children and 171 women
• Somalia, Kenya: 4 children and 2 women
• China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Bangladesh: 66 children and 27 women
• Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Dagestan, Turkestan (China), Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan: 162 children and 81 women

This rejection process has created resentment among many families, who asserted that they are present in these camps as a result of their countries’ refusal to accept their return, although they have been lured either by their husbands or by people who have been recruited into the ranks of the “Islamic State” in order to recruit youth, women, and men in the ranks of the Organization, and then transported to the Syrian territory through the Turkish or Iraqi territory. it is worth mention that the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the killing of tens of thousands of foreign fighters in the ranks of the “Islamic State” Organization and the “jihadi” and Islamic Organizations, during clashes against the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them, or against the Syria Democratic Forces and YPG before them, or during clashes against rebel and Islamic factions and the Turkish Forces in various Syrian provinces, while others have previously been able to return to their countries or move to other areas outside of areas of control of the organizations they have been involved with, whether in combat, services, logistics, or “Sharia”.
