Three years ago the fall of Baghouze, in Syria, marked the end of the Islamic State organization.

The end of a black chapter easier to forget in the West than in the Middle East.

However, in North-East Syria, the Kurdish authorities are calling on European countries to repatriate their nationals, above all women and children.
