    Default ISIS has lost its final stronghold in Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces says

    “Eastern Syria (CNN) ISIS has lost its final stronghold in Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces announced Saturday, bringing an end to the so-called caliphate declared by the terrorist group in 2014.

    The Syrian Democratic Forces said it defeated ISIS and fully liberated Baghouz in eastern Syria.

    "Syrian Democratic Forces declare total elimination of so-called caliphate and 100% territorial defeat of ISIS. On this unique day, we commemorate thousands of martyrs whose efforts made the victory possible," tweeted Mustafa Bali, head of the SDF press office.”

    ISIS is defeated in Syria, but there will still be random terror attacks.

    Yes, the price of soybeans has risen in Mozambique. Glad you cleared that up.

    Obama, “we will CONTAIN ISIS, the JV team.”

    President Trump, “we will KILL ISIS.”

    And our military and the Kurds and the Free Syrian Forces did.

    Nothing has changed in Syria.. Assad wants a new rebuilt Syria and wants YOU to pay for it.

    "Nothing has changed in Syria."

    Just this, no more crucifixions of children, no more burning of Syrians in cages, no more be-headings...by ISIS. Hundreds of thousands of refugees can return to their homes.

    "Nothing has changed in Syria."

    Good grief.

    Half a million dead .. more than six million refugees.. the country is destroyed and Assad is still in office. He can't govern anymore than his father could.. All he can do is slaughter dissenters.

    Please stay on topic:

    "ISIS has lost its final stronghold in Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces says."

    The topic is ISIS in Syria.

    The price of soybeans in Mozambique is not the topic.

    Fake news?
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    The ISIS caliphate has ended, but its breeding ground thrives
    Posted 7:36 AM, March 23, 2019

    Excerpt:

    Al Qaeda is growing again in Syria, British intelligence chief warns

    Tens of thousands of people have left ISIS’ last stronghold since the barrage began, including ISIS jihadis who have surrendered.

    In an ISIS video, people could be seen running for cover while others fired from the barricades. In its final week, the shell-cratered pocket held as many as 5,000 people and defied all predictions of a swift and final defeat.

    The group still has some fighters in central Syria and has gone underground in Iraq, where it continues to stage surprise attacks.

    ISIS as a territorial entity, a quasi-state, is history. The scars left by ISIS, and the long war against it, will take decades to heal.
