Shamima Begum’s friends from ISIS face uncertain fates as families fear for their safety
They were all straight-A students, just kids really, when they made that dangerous trip. Kadiza was 16, Amira was 15, and Shamima was also just 15. They thought they were heading for some kind of adventure, but it turned out to be a nightmare. Kadiza even called her sister back home, saying she was scared and wanted to come back. That call was heartbreaking.
Sadly, Kadiza is believed to have died in a Russian airstrike, but no one can confirm it. Her family was left hanging, not knowing for sure what happened. It’s tough to think about how quickly their lives changed. They went from school to a war zone, and it’s just tragic.
Amira, on the other hand, married an ISIS fighter, but her family lost contact with her. They thought she was dead, but Shamima claims she’s still alive. It’s all so confusing. Meanwhile, Shamima had three kids with her husband, but they all died, and she was stripped of her British citizenship.
Now, she’s trying to fight her way back to the UK, but the government is having none of it. They’re saying she’s a security risk and won’t let her return. It’s a real mess, and you can’t help but feel for these girls and their families. They made choices that changed their lives forever, and now they’re paying the price. It’s just a sad story all around.
