Between January and September 2019, the government of Kazakhstan
carried out five humanitarian missions to repatriate more than 600
of its citizens from Syria. Thirty-three were adult males; the rest
were women and children. The women had left Kazakhstan to become
part of Islamic State - either out of personal conviction, or at
the request of their jihadi husbands. Some of the children had gone
with them. Others had been born amidst the horror of the war in
Syria and Iraq, and the consequences of violent ideology; they knew
nothing else of life. Collectively, these missions were known as
Operation: Jusan (the jusan shrub, or wormwood, is symbolic for
Kazkahs of home on the steppe). Erlan Karin's involvement took him
from the planning stages to the extensive de-radicalisation and
rehabilitation programmes that followed the airlifts. Here he
reveals the full story of a high-stakes mission that required
sensitive diplomacy, meticulous timing and great courage. Drawing
on extensive first-hand accounts from the returnees, Karin also
examines their motives in joining the would-be Caliphate, and the
role of women and children within it, finally weighing up the risks
of returning trained terrorists to their mother country.
