Woman Rips Off Oppressive Garments As Raqqa Liberated From ISIS
“All women living under the reign of ISIS were forced to wear the loose black outer garment, known as an abaya, as part of the terror group’s strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.”
A woman in Raqqa ripped off the black outer garment that she was forced to wear by ISIS militants, and celebrated as U.S.-backed forces liberated the Syrian city on Saturday.
A video, posted by the People’s Defense Units (YPG), shows a woman who had lived under oppression from Islamic terrorists enter a state of pure joy as ISIS was driven completely out of the city.
The woman began hugging the U.S.-backed Kurdish forces as she thanked them and offered them prayers along with members of her family, The Times Of Israel reported.
“All women living under the reign of IS were forced to wear the loose black outer garment, known as an abaya, as part of the terror group’s strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law,” the Times added.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, then-candidate Donald Trump repeatedly promised to crush ISIS forces — and he has more than delivered.
An August report from The Washington Post, titled “Under Trump, gains against ISIS have ‘dramatically accelerated,’” highlighted the drastic turnaround and successes the U.S. has experienced under the Trump administration:
Brett McGurk, the State Department’s senior envoy to the anti-Islamic State coalition, said that steps President Trump has taken, including delegating decision-making authority down from the White House to commanders in the field, have “dramatically accelerated” gains against the militants.
Although the Trump administration has yet to announce its new strategy for the campaign against the Islamic State, McGurk cited “key changes” under Trump. In addition to the delegation of decision-making authority, which he said has allowed much greater responsiveness to opportunities and changing circumstances, he cited a “campaign of annihilation” that has concentrated on surrounding cities held by the militants before launching offensives, to ensure that no militants will escape.
