1:36 am
our life just isn't the same anymore. one of my family treats me like an outcast i mean but they. with the. families afraid of you. who hasn't surrendered. are you sure i don't know. about you know what happens to them if we catch them. we now have $160.00 so it's former fighters school for. some of them are sympathizers so they will have 1st goal a process. to try to be involved in the seeds are in the. thick of. that say for
1:37 am
1:38 am
we can't. past and they fear revenge. and their 13 year old son nor owned a shop before the war broke out. among those sons seemingly joined the i asked in 2017 they promised my husband that if we did they would pay off our debts well i am only. at that time we owed our distributors over 15000 euros. or 100 we spent our days with them praying and training with weapons it was all for nothing. so why the money by money as soon as we realized they had no intention of paying off our debts we decided to turn ourselves in. and we never
1:39 am
saw a single pay so. little i wish i could own a shop again so i could support my family. but i can't because i have to remain in hiding. if my former suppliers find me or if the i.r.s. finds me i'm a dead man. i'd like to finish my education and then join the military to fight the terrorists. and. to gather new recruits the eye has preyed upon those with a lower education and a more trustful nature. one month before the fighting broke out 16 year old found himself in voluntarily in the jihad ists ranks. had forced him to work for them he stayed exempt from punishment
1:40 am
after he successfully fled. he's the only one who dares speak openly in front of the camera. i'm going to want to get out of here go away. the moment. with. my uncle fires all set me tomorrow always city to learn arabic. but once i got there i realized he had meant something entirely different. i was with the i.a.s. i made them. this one of the men was dressed in black. he told me that my uncle had sold me for 400 euros. and. they took me to a training camp in p.r. . i stayed there for 14 days and learned how to fight. one night around 2 am i pretended to get up to use the bathroom. door.
1:41 am
that's how i managed to escape while everyone else was asleep. today is free but all the others he met at the camp or dead. for the past 2 years he's been living with his uncle pfizer the same uncle who sold him to the i.r.s. . but by now he's forgiven him. by and i mean this is where we live i mean. this is our kitchen. and this is a corner. but there she had been. had not only sold his nephew to the terrorists but even his own son. one day these well dressed men showed up and offered me money if i agreed to let the boys study abroad so i did but i never suspected that they were from you know
1:42 am
yes. they gave me 800 euros you know 400 for my son and 400 for my nephew i'm getting. you know. a few weeks later a friend told me they were being forced to work for the i guess. somebody sizes. first i didn't tell my wife anything and i was so ashamed feisal swears he was tricked but his 10 smile makes us wonder. his wife sheila had no part in the decision she left him but one year later she came back and forgave him. in the court he didn't tell me at 1st that he had sold them when he did it was too late because
1:43 am
he'd already taken the money. by my son kyle he was just 10 years old and i mean when we discovered he was being forced to fight him around the city we were panicked. there was shootings and bombings throughout the entire city. in this. 2 weeks after the siege began i contacted the rescue forces a lot and i found my son. had been hiding and was completely traumatised. his eyes were like that i like yeah. my it's my remember when he came home and even the slightest noise would frighten him and. he would run into a corner and start crying. i mean we didn't know what to do. although did was cry. he could still hear the shootings in the explosions. yeah he never recovered and yeah he stopped and eventually he died.
1:44 am
now my case yeah. many were tricked by the i.r.s. but some joined voluntarily. one of them was fido a former i.r.s. recruiter. still only 18 she's already a war criminal. for 350 euros a month she sent dozens of men to their deaths she knows she faces a life behind bars if she were to turn herself in. 'd but she did agree to an interview. she hopes that the young people of murali city might learn from her story. one year. i spent one year with the islamic state. at 1st i only recruited people from my circles of
1:45 am
friends. if i didn't know them i would try to make friends with them and gain their trust. then i would tell them about our organization and explain to them that we were fighting for islam. and for muslims rights. in total i recruited about 30 fighters. at 1st i offered them 175 euros. but then after the siege began i offered them $400.00 euros and. i love as i really thought i was doing the right thing. now i regret what i did but then adding. that i have brought shame to my family and have been down this iran but the net income me. on that was the whole i don't want to go to jail so i'm still so young i was all fine. i wish i could finish my
1:46 am
education and get a degree from my that course. but the people of morocco we city are furious they blame those who have returned from the fighting for killing their own brothers and for bringing shame to the region to them it makes no difference if they joined i.s.i. of their own free will or were exploited or even manipulated. unlike in iraq or syria in this part of southeast asia the islamic state has never been able to rely on a large ethnic group most here are catholic. the whole the hutchie haroon is the imaam at one of the few mosques of the city it was spared during the fighting. he speaks on behalf of his community and i had never been in
1:47 am
the church and again those men in black. leggy they destroyed our country and they destroyed our city. to kill their own people. first they beheaded them. i believe. they even beheaded policemen and soldiers. good i could never forgive them. we will never forgive them for what they did to us in. their bid to. the philippine republic is trying to avoid a new bloodbath on the island at all costs president blood rico detaches government encourages peace and national reconciliation. the army recruits former high ranking i.a.s. fighters and offers to forgo their sentence if they provide vital information in
1:48 am
return. even joined the i.s.i. out of conviction but 6 months ago he turned himself and. he had been the right hand of aboud dar leader of the i.a.s. in southeast asia with a 100000 euro bounty on his head. this was our leader. i was like a son to him. i was his bodyguard. i went wherever he went. on when i was born. thanks to the information even provided dar was tracked down and killed. since then this was the 1st time the young man dared to speak in public.
1:49 am
now there are no delayed then i was recruited on july 10th 2018. the i.a.s. wanted new recruits to continue the fight against the philippine army. i had to wait 2 months before they finally took me and. then i became dollars right hand man . he gave me money to handle logistics and get food and weapons. you know. my bed was right next to his. we had together starved together were bitten by mosquitoes and suffered the cold. one day i decided to escape with 3 others. but there have been too many innocent victims. and i wanted to help the army. that's why i guarded the soldiers to our camp it was hidden up in the mountains. but when we got there nobody was there.
1:50 am
we followed their tracks and found him in a nearby village. shots were fired and daughter was killed. if the i.r.s. found out what i do now they'd kill me but they wouldn't shoot me with a gun they behead me with a machete i mean these are getting it back and. no one knows if he even ever received the 100000 euros reward. so far $1600.00 former i.r.s. fighters have surrendered they are encouraged to join a social and economic reintegration program it was launched a year ago and is headed by the military. 8 kilometers from the royal we city in the village of ra in fields have taken over where ruins used to be. here former i.a.s. fighters are taking part in the peace crops program. a few weeks of field work in the peaceful countryside to help them leave the i asked behind that and what are
1:51 am
you planting. who shoots. it happening these are beans. like those over there. but i'm going to let it go yeah. how far are they spaced apart not far enough and some of the basics are you planning too many. these 2 rows are good but don't throw anything in the middle and. if you look at the profile of those who are excluded by the islamic state you would see that most of them are actually farmers and in this setting we would really understand that if you have no irrigation if you do not have the technology and the competence to farm didn't probably it will be very interesting for you to join the i.a.s. what we're trying to do here is to social economic to the empower the communities inside conflict ridden areas so they would have enough capacity to sustain on
1:52 am
a daily basis by doing this activity by doing the farming activity we already do sing their vulnerability to the truth in exchange for food money or other systems. so you know. what you have in that stick and how divided into equal rose. shouldn't be too close or too far apart. but what are the biggies. on the go and then you put the seeds into the groups the good news are they safe and you can go ahead and plant several at a time when you're just trying to keep them 2 and a half centimeters apart. make sure to pay attention to the rules we're good at the us about anything. there are 3 farms like this one on the outskirts of mirali city every day roughly 100 x. fighters and their families come here between 5 and 9 in the morning before the heat becomes unbearable. alex is the most recent member to join the program he's
1:53 am
only been here a week. alex is a form of the ideas fighter and he was also among those who joined the siege of morale we did 1700 he surrendered to government forces and he actually has one of his sons killed inside the main battle area. and. i have 6 children. and the boy i joined the idea because we didn't have anything to eat and. i regret that now. it got me nowhere and it destroyed my life. i like farming with the others helps me think about something else for a while. i mean i think. i hope that this way i can offer my family a better and happier life. a leg enemy
1:54 am
a 1000000. all those who have returned from the fighting dream of a new future a new life even after having done unspeakable things. but the ruins of merari city still bear witness to their victims. reconstruction is slow and leaves behind ugly wounds in which the i ask can fester. some say that i as recruiters on the other side of lakeland now are now offering families 3000 euros if they join.
