Syrian Woman Wears Hidden Camera To Reveal Life Under ISIS Rule




A Syrian woman agreed to carry a hidden camera to film how life is like inside Syria's northern city of Raqqa, which has been under the control of the Islamic State (aka ISIL or ISIS). The report was aired on France 2. It shows some French women who decided to move indefinitely to Syria while abandoning their previous lives in France.



A mother, with an AK-47 slung over her shoulder, walks her child to a playground. A mandriving a car orders a woman to cover her face: "God loves women who are covered." A woman in an Internet cafe, in flawless French, tells her mother that she won't be coming home: "I did not take the risk by coming here to go back to France."
The world got a rare glimpse at life inside the ISIS-controlled city of Raqqa thanks to an intrepid, unnamed Syrian woman who wore a hidden camera under her niqab as she walked around the northern Syrian city, which fell to ISIS militants 18 months ago.
The video report was commissioned by France 2 and posted to YouTube.
According to the report, some 150 French women are now living alongside the ISIS militants in northern Syria, having traveled there as jihadi brides to the extremists.
This week, U.S. and its Arab allies hit Raqqa with airstrikes, seeking to destroy militantpositions in what has become the de facto capital of ISIS.
