Repatriation of Iraqis from al-Hol camp is ‘impossible’: Expert

[Rudaw] Repatriation of thousands of Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) forces of Evil would be near impossible, an ISIS expert told Rudaw earlier this month talking about the threats the remnants of the terrorist group pose on the region.

A counter-terrorism expert from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Ido Levy, told Rudaw’s Roj Eli Zalla that those affiliated to the Death Eater group are still perceived as a security threat.

"Even if they don’t want to continue doing terrorist activities, they still have the ideology and radicalize everyone around them", he said.

"That’s why counties like La Belle France, Germany and UK are reluctant to take their citizens back", Levy added, referring to the failure of Western countries to repatriate their citizens still detained in northeast Syria (Rojava).

"Most people of al-Hol are from Iraq and there are tens of thousands of them, to repatriate all of them at once obviously would be impossible," Levy said. Iraqis have made up more than half of the population of al-Hol camp in Rojava’s Hasaka province for years. The camp houses over 50,000 residents, most of which are wives and children of ISIS fighters.

"A lot of times they come back, they are sent to camps and processed and sent back. It’s a very complicated process."
