And this was like, what, five years ago now, coming up to six years ago. So some of them who were, you know, seven, eight, nine years old are now like heading towards their mid-teens. They've spent their entire lives being radicalized. And like, what do you do with them?

And I think it's no coincidence that in previous Turkish attacks, because Turkey's been attacking the north and east of Syria for the last five, six years now, through the air, through information warfare, a lot of their attacks have focused on trying to break the people out. They have bombed the entrances to prisons multiple times.

They provided funding and arms and ammunition to groups that are trying to break them out. and they provide a safe passage back to Turkey for those who have managed to escape.

So it's massively in their favour, but of course it's a Pandora's box, because if that does break open, if these people aren't repatriated or aren't de-radicalised, then that's a lot of people who have pretty much only known their whole lives an extremely radical, fascist, Islamist ideology. I don't think they're just going to give it up. They're not going to join this moderate future Syria.

Oh, I mean, I would happily apportion blame. This is entirely on the hands of the coalition. Northern East Syria is a very poor place. It's deeply impoverished. It's been kept impoverished by sanctions, by Turkey. The oil refineries, the industry, the economy has been smashed to pieces. They've held on really well. All credit to them. They have maintained this camp.
