Topic Reading-Vol.1337-12/9/2015

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The terrifying reality of living under ISIS in Raqqa, Syria
The blast of Russian passenger flight and gun fires in Paris and San Bernardino, California. These are just recent examples of act of terrorism. But more vicious and cruel things are going on in a stronghold of ISIS/ISIL in Raqqa, Syria.
People in the town had enjoyed safety and freedom, though it was limited under the tyrant regime, and had ordinary life until ISIS took the power. Now it is regarded as the capital of the terrorist group. Accordingly, it is targeted for bombing by the US, Russia, France and newly joined UK. The residents had no choice but to stay in this nearly destroyed town because all the roads to outer world are closed. They are afraid of the bombs and missiles from the air but are more scared of the black-uniform militants on the street. They govern, control and suppress any activities that don’t meet their rules.
Knowing well enough as to who is ruling the town and how badly the residents are suffering, none of the states has tried to solve this problem but just to bomb, which is getting less effective as ISIS uses the civilians and their residents as shields.
Read and see the video to learn what the life is like in the capital of ISIS.
