The militia tanks and armoured vehicles
that paraded through the streets of Raqqa
on Tuesday marked the symbolic demise
of ISIS rule in the Syrian city where
militants had established their de facto
capital.
Fighters from the Syrian Democratic
Forces (SDF) held a victory parade of
sorts in Raqqa's central Paradise Square,
a space that for three years looked more
like hell, as it was where ISIS carried out public beheadings.
"This is a historic victory, not only for us, but the entire
world," said Jihan Ahmed of the SDF.
Raqqa may have fallen, and the militants may control just a
fraction of the territory they did in their heyday, but by no
means is ISIS defeated in either Syria or Iraq. The group's
ideology lives on.
Let's continue praying for overall victory
Cause I have a feeling they have direct or indirect connections with Boko Haram
