The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

In the past few weeks, the U.S. military has launched a steady stream of airstrikes in Syria. U.S. officials say they're targeting the group known as the Islamic State, ISIS, in part its retaliation for an attack on U.S. forces in the region last December. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calls new airstrikes tonight in Syria a declaration of vengeance against ISIS terrorists.

NÀmÀ tuket myös tulevat takaisin viimeisen jÀlkeen, kun enemmÀn kuin 100 militanttia pysyivÀt syrjinnÀssÀ, joilla oli uusia kysymyksiÀ ison tutkimuksen ja ison tutkimuksen turvallisuudesta. Ja nyt Yhdysvallat on saapumassa 7000 syrjinnÀstÀ syrjinnÀstÀ Irakasta, koska se on epÀonnistunut ja vahvistunut.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

From the BBC, I'm Asma Khalid in Washington, D.C. And today on The Global Story is the Islamic State Group having a resurgence in Syria. Well, Josh, it's wonderful to have you on the show. I'm a big fan of your work, so thanks for joining us. I appreciate the compliment. You can send me an invoice for that later. Well, can I have you introduce yourself for those who may not be familiar with who you are and what you do?

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

Olen tutkimusjurnalisti, filmikko ja podcasteri, ja olen huomannut ISISin suurin piirtein siksi, ettÀ se on tullut yhteisöön juuri nykyÀÀn. Olin jopa huolissani yhteisöön vuonna 2016.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

Josh, I know you have created these epic series about ISIS. You've done a lot of reporting in the last decade or so when this group was at its height in Syria and Iraq. And the reason I wanted to have you on our show today is because for the last several weeks I have been getting these email notifications in my inbox from U.S. Central Command talking about strikes on ISIS targets in Syria.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

And I had this moment of, well, wait a second, you know, what's going on here? Because President Trump during his first term in the White House had said that ISIS was defeated. And I want to begin with a sort of broad big picture question, which is, why are we talking about ISIS again?

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

Joten mielestÀni se, mitÀ ajattelen ISISistÀ, on se, ettÀ ne pysyivÀt uudestaan uudestaan, ja kaikki muistivat niitÀ, mutta maassa ne olivat aina vielÀ siellÀ. Nyt, vaikka ne eivÀt olleet siellÀ aiemmin, mutta ne eivÀt aina menneet uudestaan. Ja luulen, ettÀ olin juuri Damaskossa hyvin myöhemmin, ja yhdellÀ viikonloppuna olin yöllÀ syrjinnÀn kanssa yhdessÀ.

Ja kun me olimme siellÀ, ihmisten huoneet alkoivat pysyÀ. Ja se oli siksi, ettÀ syrjitysvaihto on mennyt pois. Ja silloin muistan katsoen ystÀviÀni, ja he sanoivat, ettÀ insurgeeni on alkanut. Ja luulen, ettÀ tÀmÀ on tÀrkeÀ asia. Kun he pysyivÀt huoneestaan, he eivÀt itse asiassa pysyneet pysyvÀksi.

Ennen kuin menemme eteenpÀin tÀhÀn keskusteluun, haluan vain pysyÀ hieman ja puhua terminologiaa. Olet kuullut minua kutsumaan ryhmÀÀn ISIS. Jotkut kuuluvat sen kuten IS tai niin sanottu islamilainen valtio. Terminologia voi olla hieman yllÀttÀvÀÀ, koska ryhmÀ on kuvattu erilaisilla nimillÀ.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

But regardless of the name, I think it is worth rewinding to 2014. And I think that's the moment when here in the United States, ISIS really penetrated into the public consciousness. It's the year that President Obama announced the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. It was also the year that the American journalist James Foley was executed. And at that time, Josh, what was the group selling?

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

Joten katsotaanpa, kun ajatellaan terrori-yhteisöjÀ, niin usein ajatellaan pieniÀ yksityisiÀ, jotka jÀrjestÀvÀt haavautta. Ja itse asiassa iso asia ISISin kanssa on se, ettÀ he jÀrjestivÀt niin sanotun valtion, jota he kutsuivat kalifateiksi. Ja ihmiset joskus muistavat tÀtÀ, kun puhutaan tÀstÀ ryhmÀstÀ.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

They actually controlled an area the size of England, right, that spanned Iraq and Syria. And it had roughly 10 million people under their governance. And what they did then is they set about a really highly polished PR and propaganda campaign.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

of selling this vision to the world of a supposed Islamic utopia and inviting people from all around the world to come and join them. And tens of thousands of people did from more than 100 nations. And from there, the state grew and grew and grew. But a lot of people felt like this was...

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

not a representation of Islam at all. Just to be transparent with listeners, I'm a Muslim woman. I have a master's in Middle Eastern Islamic studies. I've studied the faith quite a bit. What they were selling was such a distortion of the religion and seemed so disconnected from reality that it is mind-boggling to me that it was in any ways sold as a utopia.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

During the height of the ISIS caliphate days, Josh, I know you reported from the region. What was it like to report from the region at that time? It was an extraordinary time because...

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

You had a scenario where literally the map of two countries had been redrawn by this terrorist organization. And you had a concerted effort to defeat them going on. So being inside the territory that they controlled or the fight to regain that territory was extraordinarily dangerous.

The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

We're in an armoured car pulling back from one of the forward positions. The roads are literally littered with debris, with cars. I remember there was one time when I was in Iraq, I was embedded with Iraqi special forces, and they were trying to retake the city of Mosul, which is where ISIS had declared its so-called caliphate from. So we have to be very careful how we move, because it's a perfect place for an ambush.

Se tulee olemaan pitkÀ pÀivÀ. Kun menemme tÀnne kaupungin kanssa, olemme yhdessÀ niiden kanssa. Olemme yhdessÀ niiden kanssa. Olemme yhdessÀ niiden kanssa. Olemme yhdessÀ niiden kanssa. Olemme yhdessÀ niiden kanssa.

TÀÀllÀ on kaksi sÀÀntöÀ työssÀ. HyvÀ ja vÀÀrÀ. Maailma on yhdistetty tÀllÀ tavalla. Ja me menisimme nÀihin yhteisöihin ensimmÀisen ajan. Ja se oli mahtavaa nÀhdÀ, ettÀ ihmisten puolueilla on tullut tÀllainen valkoisen vihreÀ jÀrjestelmÀ. Ja he olivat hyvin vÀhentÀneet kontaktia ulkopuolella, kun ISIS oli vahvistamassa ympÀristön.

And that's the way we want it, and that's the way they want it. What happened to the remaining people who were living in this so-called caliphate? The fighters, their family members? So look, you know, if you imagine at the height of 2014-2015, that's when the group is at the height of their power. They control a massive territory. Fast forward to 2019. That so-called state, if you will, has been pushed into less than a square kilometre in a town called Bagoose.
