this The United States has repeatedly warned European countries that they must take back their fighter jets and help deconstruct refugee camps to prevent them from becoming hotbeds of radicalism.
Dr. Giustozzi said it was “easy” for American fighters to speak out when they were involved.
Approximately 40,000 foreign fighters join Islamic State in Iraq and Syriaonly 300 of them are Americans.
“They’re stuck there. I don’t think anyone is thinking about the consequences or what to do next; a lot of politicians are just thinking about the short term until the next election and then passing the buck on to other people.”
Milo Comerford, director of policy and research at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue on Countering Extremism, described the issue as “a headache” with little progress made over the past five years.
He said the complex process of recovery and reintegration of former Islamic State affiliates into society, whether in Iraq or Europe, requires working not just with individuals but with the wider community.
“The idea of restorative justice is easy to talk about, but it’s going to be a long and hard fight. Obviously there’s a link to the sectarian challenge. But at the end of the day, there’s no other option. You can’t lock people up indefinitely. These internally displaced people The camp is completely unsustainable.”
The recovery begins with the challenge of defining ISIS. Mr Comerford suggested some lessons could be learned from post-Nazi Germany.
“There is no single way to be a Nazi; there are ideologues, collaborators and non-resistants. You need to eradicate all of its systemic products, as was done in post-Nazi Germany, and on a deep institutional level Address it. But ultimately, you can’t criminalize an entire society.”
What about foreign fighters?
“Frankly, dealing with Western countries’ problems is not an Iraq and Syria problem, it needs to be solved in Western countries’ courts and judicial systems,” Comerford said. “That’s not fair and it’s not feasible.”
Back at Hasan Sham U2, the kids returned from school little did they know they were at the center of a global debate.
As the international community grapples with the legacy of ISIS, the future for these children is unclear.
The world will never forgive their parents, but it can never ignore them either.
