ISIS Resurgence in Syria
ISIS is reportedly increasing its presence in Syria, with Iraqi intelligence estimating its fighters have grown from 2,000 to 10,000 in a year, raising alarms in Baghdad amid ongoing instability after the Assad regime’s collapse. The group’s resurgence is attributed to sectarian turmoil and disillusionment with the interim government. As Kurdish control diminishes, Iraq plans to repatriate around 7,000 ISIS detainees, heightening fears of further destabilization. The situation underscores the delicate balance between asserting sovereignty and maintaining stability in the fragmented state of Syria.
