The Islamic State group is still a threat. Beyond what remained of their caliphate, the fight against the group continues.pic.twitter.com/sKg91310SD

There are graveyards all across North Eastern Syria, honouring those who died to stop the Islamic State Group. Today is a day of celebration; and remembrance. They fought so we didn’t have to.

And though it is a great achievement that IS no longer holds territory, the Kurds and Arabs in Syria know they will still be fighting IS tomorrow and for many days to come.pic.twitter.com/DTt3uoQ8Bp

The victims of IS aren’t just the dead; they are the displaced, the bereaved and the traumatised. They deserve justice. The people responsible, including many young westerners, must be charged, prosecuted and punished.pic.twitter.com/Bh2H57NepK

These are the graves of IS fighters in Raqqa. Who were these people? Who funded them? Who led them? There’s still so much to be uncovered.pic.twitter.com/uxvBLnT1Ss

Sinjar, July 2, 2014. I often wonder about what happened to the fleeing families we met that day. Weeks later it was overrun by IS. Genocide followed.

Quentin, In your opinion, do the splinter groups around the world just bide their time and rebrand like always? Or do you think they will keep waving the ISIS flag and try to reorganize somewhere else?

Will they have fighters left to retreat back to the Badiya Al-Sham desert once again, to regroup. Or are they really finished? No one here believes what our government tells us. Except the the sheep.
