(CBC) Kurdish authorities responsible for the prisons and detention camps holding ISIS militants and their family members in northern Syria have accused Canada of shirking its responsibility by failing to bring Canadian women and children home, despite offers of assistance.
“Let’s leave the ISIS militants aside,” said Abdulkarim Omar, the de facto foreign minister for the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), in an interview with CBC News on Monday.
“Canada firstly needs to take the responsibility toward the women and kids who haven’t been a part of committing crimes. But they’re ignoring it.”
The comments come just over a week after a former U.S. diplomat proved willing and able to do what the Canadian government apparently had not.
