Civilians are continuing to emerge from Baghouz, the last shred of territory held by Daesh in Syria
Syria's Baghouz is the last speck of Daesh's once-sprawling"caliphate", a small farming village nestled in a bend of the Euphrates river by the Iraqi border. March 5, 2019.
Since the terrorist YPG-dominated SDF announced last month it was launching a final assault on Baghouz, Daesh terrorists, family members, captives and local villagers have poured from the tiny enclave. The fall of Baghouz would mark the end of the rule of Daesh's self-proclaimed "caliphate" overpopulated territory, although some militants are still hiding out in remote desert or have gone underground.
Since Monday, hundreds of surrendering terrorists have abandoned their enclave. Colonel Sean Ryan, spokesman for the US-led coalition backing the SDF militants, nevertheless said the international force had "learned not to put any timetables on the last battle."
