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.
