In northeastern Syria, there is a jihadist crisis waiting to happen. People walk among shelters at the Kurdish-run al-Hol camp, which holds refugees as well as the radical families of Islamic State group fighters, in Syria's northeastern Hasakeh governorate Al-Hol is a city of 40,000 people in the Hasakeh governorate of Rojava, North Eastern Syria. The refugees living there are often subjected to intimidation and violence by ISIS members Women stand together al-Hol displacement camp in Hasaka governorate, Syria Men believed to be affiliated with the Islamic State sit in a prison cell in the northeastern Syrian city of Hasakeh Before even reaching the entrance I was utterly gobsmacked by the scale of Al-Hol which appeared as if from nowhere, rising up from the dust and dirt on my approach via a desert road. There are many refugees in Al-Hol who despite the constant threat of extremist violence remain defiant A member loyal to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant waves an ISIS flag in Raqqa, Syria The dire security situation was driven home to me when I witnessed members of the Asayish trundling through the camp on a pickup truck sporting a heavy machine gun in its bed.
