Jihadists detained in Syria: 16 French women repatriated, a political turning point?

Until the end, the initiative remained secret. This Tuesday, July 5, at noon, the Quai d’Orsay announced that it had repatriated 51 people held in Kurdish camps in northeastern Syria. It is the most massive operation ever carried out since the fall of the Islamic State in 2019. But the main novelty is that, for the first time, France has decided to repatriate adults from the camps.
