Dozens of French children await repatriation from jihadist camps in Syria

Some 200 #children of French #jihadists are spending their fourth winter in muddy tents at al-Roj camp in northeastern #Syria, where dozens of arrested Europeans have been grouped together. Since the defeat of the Islamic State group two years ago, #France has repatriated 35 children, mainly orphans or those in fragile health. Fearing they could be still radicalised, France has barred mothers from returning. As a result, some prefer to keep their children with them, while others have made the difficult choice to let them go. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's James Vasina.
