Hundreds of people of various nationalities streamed out of the ISIS terrorist group’s last enclave in Syria under escort from U.S.-backed forces on Feb. 27, part of an exodus of both its supporters and victims from its final shred of land.

Part of Baghouz, a tiny cluster of hamlets and farmland on the banks of the Euphrates at the Iraqi border, is all that remains in ISIS possession of the “caliphate” straddling the two countries which its leader proclaimed in 2014.
