Kyrgyzstan repatriated 21 women and 62 children who are Kyrgyz citizens from camps in Syria with support from the United States, Red Cross, and UNICEF. This is part of ongoing efforts to bring back those stranded due to the collapse of ISIS. Thousands, including from Muslim-majority countries in Central Asia, joined jihadist groups like the so-called Islamic State at the height of the Syrian war from 2013 and 2015. Many militants and their family are now held in detention centres or stuck in displacement camps.
