These are children, not terrorists

"There is no excuse to leave children in the foreign refugee camps to die," says Sonia Khush of Save the Children. The home countries of the fighters of the Islamic state (IS) would need to take "urgent responsibility for their citizens," and the descendants of repatriate. The children are the victims of this conflict and should be treated as such.

In the Syrian Camps of at least 3580 children of foreign IS fighters are stuck according to the volunteers from around 40 countries, two-thirds of them are less than five years old. Most of them live with their mother, some are alone. Because of the Offensive against the last IS-Bastion Baghuz, which is located in the East of the country, has increased the number of Displaced persons. Dozens of children have died on the way to the camp, of cold and malnutrition. The state of health especially of the Smallest would be catastrophic, says Khush. You were sick, malnourished, injured, and traumatized and have a lack of warm clothes.

The camps are now overcrowded, and tens of thousands of people have come in the last three months, 90 percent of them women and children. The space is according to the helpers become so precarious that some of us have to sleep in the open air. Under the Neuzuzügern many members of foreigners who came to Fight in Syria. Their situation is particularly precarious because they are considered by the Syrians, who have suffered under the regime of terror, as the culprit.

You have to get the women and children of IS-people in the Camps separately, says Geert Cappelaere of Unicef. Solidarity-you cannot hope. "You are not welcome in the camp. And they are often not welcome in their countries of origin", the children lived under "extremely bad" conditions. However, "these are children, not terrorists," affirms Cappelaere. Also in Iraq, an estimated 1000 children of foreign IS fighters. Many of them sit with their mothers in prison.

the United Kingdom has recently rejected the redemption of a young mother. Her newborn child died shortly thereafter in a Syrian camp.

Cappelaere insists that the children are not separated from their families, and calls on the countries of origin, together with their mothers bring home. European States, including Switzerland, do not want to repatriate the fathers and mothers. The Federal Council has decided that the 20 Swiss will not be brought into Syria, a Return of the estimated six children among them, should be at least reviewed, if the child requires this. The other European countries, argue similar and see the parents as a security risk.

France has five small children from Syria flown out of the country, who have lost both parents, and brought them to Relatives. The majority of European IS fighters are from France, the number of children is estimated to be several Hundred. Belgium goes a similar way: The Ministry of justice has said it wants to bring children under ten years of age, the Elderly should be decided from case to case. The mothers are excluded from the Return explicitly. The United Kingdom has recently rejected the redemption of a young mother. Her newborn child died shortly thereafter in a Syrian camp.

Russia flies to dozens of back

What in Western Europe is the case in countries such as Russia, Indonesia or Tajikistan. Also, these countries intend to take no IS fighters back. However, the children from flying for weeks to dozens, at least initially, together with the mothers. It would be better if the children were reared by the grandparents at home than in a refugee camp growing up, from where they returned then may be radicalized, argued that in Russia. These children had not traveled on a voluntary basis in the area of the conflict and "we have no right to leave you there," says President Vladimir Putin has received from human rights activists, for once, to praise.

experts stress that the Return to a normal, peaceful environment, offering the children the best Chance to recover from the suffered trauma. They emphasize, however, that with the older children intensively on providing de-worked needed to be. Because of the IS the young people who were brought by their parents to the Caliphate has been formed, specifically militarily, ideologically indoctrinated, and also in part as agents in terrorist attacks or murders abused. If you do not have to care them correctly, warns the international radicalism-centre in London, they constituted a "significant risk in the future – no matter where you're travelling".
