The US-backed SDF forces have reportedly captured more than 5,000 militants - from Syria and abroad - since January and put them in detention centres, while women and children are kept in camps for the displaced.
According to one Kurdish official speaking to AFP, more than 9,000 foreign relatives of IS members - many of them children - are being held at the Kurdish-run al-Hol camp.
The accommodation was built for about 20,000 people but is now housing more than 70,000.
So, what the hell to do with them?
They’re hard core jihadists and are not about to stop now. Set them free and they’ll just go back to doing what they did before.
And many come from other countries outside of Syria and Iraq, countries that don’t want them back. There is a solution, but no one will ever speak up and say it.
