The Global Story: Is ISIS having a resurgence in Syria?

The resurgence of ISIS in Syria is examined through a conversation with investigative journalist Josh Baker. The discussion addresses why ISIS, despite claims of its defeat, remains a relevant issue, highlighting its continued presence on the ground and recent attacks. Baker recounts reporting from the region during ISIS's peak, detailing the group's propaganda and control over a territory the size of England. The conversation covers the current state of ISIS fighters and their families in makeshift camps and prisons, the lack of a global policy for dealing with these individuals, and the potential security threats they pose. The discussion also explores the shifting dynamics between the U.S., the Syrian Democratic Forces, and the Syrian government, as well as the implications for the region's stability and the ongoing threat of ISIS.
