Town Freed From ISIS By U.S. Backed Fighters

Description

On Sunday, Syrian-Kurdish officials announced that U.S.-backed fighters have liberated the Syrian town of Manbij from ISIS. And now the clean up from the armed militants reign of terror begins as dazed residents reportedly described their terror at the hands of militants. Nasser Haj Mansour of the predominantly Kurdish Syria Democratic Forces also told journalists that search operations are still ongoing to try find any extremists who might be hiding in the town. This could be made more difficult, because some video footage has surfaced showing village residents cursing out the rescuing forces. But other reports say that the residents of the town were incredibly thankful to be rescued from ISIS.

  • Village Women Take Up Arms to Protect Homes from ISIS

    Women living in Haji Ali, a group of villages numbering about 40,000 people in northern Iraq about 40 miles south of Mosul, have taken up arms to protect the area from Islamic State militants. IS-controlled villages are only about a mile away, so women have learned how to use weapons and have started guarding their families' houses at night, in order to help their men, which rotate in and out of the frontline. Villagers fear that IS could sneak across the Tigris river and into the village under the cover of night, and are complaining that locals don't have enough weapons to defend themselves.
