As reported by the Syrian press, the Tajik ambassador to Kuwait, Zubaidullo Zubaidzoda, and the Department of Foreign Relations of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria signed official documents for the repatriation of Tajik citizens, the wives and children of ISIS militants, held in the refugee camps “Al-Hol” and “Roj”.

“The Tajik embassy in Kuwait will continue its efforts to repatriate women and children, citizens of Tajikistan, who are currently held in the camps ‘Al-Hol’ and ‘Roj’,” Zubaidzoda told reporters.

According to the signed documents, 42 women and 104 children have been transferred to the authorities of Tajikistan. They will be transported from Syria to Tajikistan in the near future.

According to the UN, there are 56,000 women and children from more than 50 countries in the “Al-Hol” camp alone. The UN and other international organizations have appealed to countries around the world to repatriate their citizens, who are held in poor conditions in these camps, so that they can return to normal life.

After the fall of ISIS in Syria, thousands of women from different countries, whose husbands had varying degrees of connection with ISIS and died in wars, are held in the “Al-Hol” and “Roj” refugee camps in northeastern Syria along with their children.

Previously, Tajik authorities repatriated some women and children who were citizens of Tajikistan held in these camps. Some women were imprisoned upon their return to their homeland, and the children were placed in orphanages.
