    Around 2500 (!) European ISIS FTF’s unaccounted for. Let that sink in for a moment

    Gilles de Kerchove mentioned that 2,500 EU nationals (out of 5,000+) who joined ISIS are unaccounted for. Around 1,000 killed & 1,500 have returned back. There are 1,400 children and 660 women from Europe that was with ISIS - some may try to return. Presenting huge risks.

    Bernard Fall’s metric in Indochina and later Vietnam. Some things do not change. Also: whether taxes are being collected. I would add: are national/regional level civil servants present? Performing functions?

    “One good indicator of whether is regaining strength in is to see how many moqtars—village elders—are being killed by the militants. Over the past 6 months, said, an average of 3.5 moqtars have been murdered by ISIS each week.”
