This week we speak to writer and researcher Séamus Malekafzali about the threats posed by an ISIS cell operating inside Iran. He explains how if the US goes to war with Iran, ISIS will likely thrive.
Since October 1st 2019, anti-corruption protesters in #Iraq have been fighting against their government. Sick of unemployment, stolen public funds, dire services, and foreign interference in Iraq, they come with flags, rocks, and Molotovs. They've been met with live gunfire from the secruity forces and #Iran backed militias. More than 400 of the Iraqi protesters have been shot dead since protests began.
Cameraman Luke Pierce recently spent time with the protesters in Baghdad.
Full documentary coming soon.

It’s been two years since the city of #Raqqa was liberated from ISIS. The jihadists have lost all their territorial positions in #Syria, but are still active in the form of sleeper cells. They blend in with the population and launch attacks whenever they find the opportunity. This year alone ISIS sleeper cells in Raqqa claim to have killed 126 people in 32 attacks.
We went on patrol with the internal security forces of Raqqa, to find out what it’s like trying to keep ISIS out of the former capital of their Caliphate.
