In a desperate move that threatens global security, Kurdish forces have abandoned the al-Hol ISIS detention camp, citing "international indifference" and sparking fears of a massive terror resurgence.

The world's nightmare has just become a reality. [...](asc_slot://start-slot-11)The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have pulled the plug on security at the infamous al-Hol camp, effectively abandoning thousands of die-hard Islamic State (ISIS) families to the wind. The reason? "International indifference."
This is a geopolitical game of chicken with catastrophic stakes. The SDF, squeezed by advancing Syrian government forces and feeling betrayed by the West, has decided it can no longer be the jailer for the world's most dangerous detainees. By withdrawing their guards, they have left the gates open for a potential ISIS resurgence that could sweep across the region like a plague.
The timing is explosive. [...](asc_slot://start-slot-13)Violent clashes are already erupting between the SDF and pro-Damascus factions nearby. In this chaos, the 50,000 residents of al-Hol—many of whom are radicalized wives and children of ISIS fighters—are a ticking time bomb.
This is not just Syria's problem; it is Nairobi's problem, London's problem, and New York's problem. A resurgent ISIS will not stay in the desert. The "international indifference" the SDF cites is a polite way of saying the world washed its hands of Syria. Now, the dirty water is coming back to drown us all. The West must wake up immediately, or we will be fighting the same war we thought we won five years ago.
