Um Hiba hasn't heard from her husband since. The fighters threw her and other women into car trunks and, amid U.S. airstrikes against ISIS ordered by then-President Barack Obama, took them to Syria."They were beating us with their boots, the rifle butts, anything they had in their hands," she says."I started bleeding and the baby was gone.""Sometimes ISIS fighters would board the bus and choose one of us," she says.
"When we came to the camp, people were saying that she is a daughter of ISIS," says Um Hiba. She says she believes her daughter felt the hostility."Then she got sick, she stopped walking. ... I really wanted to keep her but some people were saying, 'If you do not abandon her, we will either kill her or burn your tent down so you will all burn together.'"
"Anytime I see a mother calling, carrying or taking her child to a shop, I wish I had my child too to take care of her, play with her, kiss her and smell her," she says.Most Yazidis displaced by ISIS still live in camps years after being freed or escaping as long as six years ago. Although the Iraqi government and the international community have pledged to help survivors rebuild their lives, most have no homes to go to and no income.
"They said, 'Have you lost your mind?'"says Um Hiba."I said, 'If a mother is alive and not able to see her daughter and goes through all of this, why did God make it that human beings love their children?'" Yazidis continue to live in emergency tents near the top of Mount Sinjar six years after being displaced from their towns and villages. Some of them say they feel safer on the mountain where they fled to escape ISIS.Yazidis continue to live in emergency tents near the top of Mount Sinjar six years after being displaced from their towns and villages.

Under the direction of President Trump, the rebuilding of the United States military has become a priority. The President has empowered the U.S. armed forces to dismantle ISIS in the Middle East.
This will sound empty and hollow but I found this article so desperately sad and demoralizing.
💔
That is heartbreaking
But ISIS was mostly peaceful right? Just like your reporting in Portland.
Liberals getting the ISIS a-holes repatriated and let out on bail is a massive double insult to these brave women. Imagine coming across your rapist on the street and he smirks at you!
When it comes to one of the most hateful, hurtful, degrading, unwarranted thing to happen to women this has no color , no age, or status 😥😥😢Enough!! Louder ENOUGH!! Over the land , countries and sea 🌊 No more! 😢😢 Let us be.
'Upon Muhammad's death, Arabians abandoned Islam en masse. Abu Bak'r, Muhammad's successor, and his fierce jihad warriors, killed tens of thousands of Arabs, forcing them back into the 'peace' of Islam.
Please stop criticizing Islam. It's their way and we should respect that.
It’s funny we don’t see any of the qanon idiots giving a shit about actual stories like this. Confirmed stories of rape and abuse? Not my country who cares. But dear god don’t you dare have a pizza parlor with a basement.
