Damaged buildings in Raqqa, Syria

MEMBERS of the Isis death cult, which held vast swathes of territory across Syria and Iraq, are being rehabilitated under a wide-ranging and ambitious programme, a new report has revealed.

The Rojava Information Centre, an independent media organisation based in the mainly Kurdish autonomous region in northern Syria, detailed how low-level members of the jihadist organisation have been offered training and education to rid them of the poisonous ideology.

This includes discussion sessions and other activities along with a system of justice that is intended to break the cycle of violence that led to the rise of Isis across the region.
