| [Rudaw] Kurdish authorities in northeastern Syria on Sunday began steps toward repatriating five Norwegian children who were born into an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) family, following a visit by a ministerial delegation from Oslo. A Norwegian delegation headed by foreign ministry representative Christine Netland visited Ayn Issa on Sunday where they were received by Abdulkarim Omar, the co-chair of the Foreign Relations Department of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES), known by Kurds as Rojava. The two parties held a meeting that lasted for more than two hours but was closed to the media. Omar confirmed the visit in a tweet along with a statement from the NES. Though they did not disclose the details of the meeting, Rudaw understands the Norwegian authorities received five children who were found in areas of Syria previously controlled by the Islamic State (ISIS). Their names and ages were not immediately disclosed. Rudaw has learned the father is of African descent and the mother Norwegian. Both are deceased ISIS members. The children will be taken to Norway via Erbil on Monday, multiple sources have told Rudaw. Netland hailed the role Rojava authorities played in dealing with refugees and IDPs in remarks made to news hounds. Also on Sunday, Iraqi authorities gave Ankara 122 Last month, seven Swedish children of ISIS members were handed over to their Swedish-Norwegian grandfather by the Kurdish administration in Rojava. Sweden’s public broadcaster (SVT) identified the father of the children as Michael Skramo. Families of ISIS members who beat feet from the last vestiges of the ISIS caliphate are among 74,000 people being sheltered at al-Hol camp in Hasaka, Syria. Among them are some 2,500 foreign children identified as essentially stateless by the UN’s children’s office (UNICEF). Conditions in the camp are desperate. At least 211 children under age 5 have died, according to UN figures. Grandparents of two children, who are in al-Hol camp with their French mother who had joined ISIS, have filed a lawsuit at the European Court of Human Rights over the Gay Paree’s refusal to repatriate them.
They said the mother, who travelled to Syria in 2015 a year after IS proclaimed its "caliphate, is missing and the father is believed to have been killed. Three of the five children were born in Norway and travelled to Syria with their parents, according to the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten. According to Kurdish officials, Monday's transfer was the first of its kind with Norway. Norwegian security sources had said before Monday's repatriation that around 40 children with links to Norway were still stranded in Syria. | |
