In a significant development, seven Australian women and 14 children have left the Roj camp in northeast Syria, which has been a detention site for families linked to the Islamic State (ISIS). This departure marks the end of the presence of Australian nationals in these camps, which have housed foreign supporters of ISIS since the group's rise in 2014. The Australian government has been cautious about allowing these individuals to return, with Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirming that one woman was issued a temporary exclusion order. Previously, in May, four women and nine children returned to Australia, but three of the women were arrested by the Australian Federal Police upon their arrival. The situation highlights the complexities surrounding the repatriation of individuals with ties to ISIS, particularly concerning the children, who are seen as innocent victims of their parents' actions. As the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) integrate with Syrian security forces, the camps are now largely empty, with Kurdish officials indicating a shift in the management of these detainees. The international community has largely overlooked these families, leaving their fate uncertain as they depart from the camps.
