Kurdish-led authorities in northeastern Syria have handed over 50 women and children, family members of militants from the Islamic State group, to a delegation from Tajikistan that is repatriating them back home.

FILE - Kurdish forces patrol al-Hol camp, which houses families of members of the Islam ic State group in Hasakeh province, Syria , on April 19, 2023. Kurdish-led authorities in northeast Syria handed over Thursday 50 family members of the Islam ic State group fighters to a delegation from Tajikistan that escorted the repatriates back home.

After the Islamic State group declared its caliphate in large parts of Syria and Iraq in June 2014, thousands of foreigners, including hundreds from Tajikistan, came to Syria to join IS and live with their families in the so-called caliphate. Tajikistan has said that at the height of IS, more than 1,000 fighters from the country joined extremists groups in Syria and Iraq, including IS. One of the most prominent was Gulmurod Khalimov, an officer with Tajikistan’s special forces who defected and joined IS in Syria in 2015.
