We separate from the group, following Tunisian women through the tents. As we move from encounter to encounter, fragments of lives unfold, marked by violence, precariousness, and barely concealed indoctrination.

Each testimony from women and children reveals a reality that is hard to imagine: sexual abuse, extremist ideology still present, and troubling tensions and contradictions. The atmosphere in this camp is both heavy and hard to grasp.

Between fear and determination, we advance through the heart of the tents while the army and fixers, aware of our absence, search for us. Every step inside the camp confronts us with the harsh reality of what it means to survive in a place where precariousness and extreme danger are the norm.

The Women of Daech: Tunisian women in Syrian camps

In northern Syria, far from the battlefield yet deeply marked by war, women and children live in camps where the past lingers and the future remains uncertain.

kids off the grid

Le temps qui nous était accordé est déjà dépassé depuis longtemps. Pourtant, une dernière porte reste entrouverte. Derrière les bureaux administratifs et les protocoles officiels, une autre rencontre s’organise, plus discrète. Pour y parvenir, il faudra franchir une frontière invisible à l’intérieur même du camp.

A lost life

In Al-Hol camp, boundaries are not only made of fences, but also of permits, violence, refusals and silences.Then, at the turn of a tent, a familiar dialect is heard, and everything unfolds. Between fear and excitement, negotiations with the administration, and children’s voices trying to tell the story of a brutal world.

They were children, and suddenly.. II

Inside the rehabilitation center, stories unfold in fragments, between heavy silences and broken memories. Brahim and Abdelrahmen grew up in the shadow of the Islamic State, each carrying a story shaped by loss, ambiguous promises and lingering trauma. Listening to them raises a persistent question: how do you rebuild a life when childhood ends too soon?

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
