They literally handed the camps to the Syrian govt. the shitty conspiracy theories of OmGH ThE ArE SecRet ISiS is a bore. The reality is that there are around 50,000 prisoners. And for a multitude of reason they wanted them there. Under Biden and even neocons under Trump(Lindsey Graham and friends) didn't want them moved b/c the ISIS prisoners there justified the US presence there. Secondly another reason is that none of the euros want their citizens back, there are a whole lot of them. They could avoid the problem as there was no state to state contact as Damascus wasn't the one in charge of the camps.
As of right now, the dynamics have changed, there is a state and now the PKK is expendable, as well they don't want high profile prisoners getting out in the chaos, so I suspect they are either moving the high profile people out, or the Iraqi prisoners into Iraq.
Frankly thats what should happen, Separate the prisoners by origin, all the foreigners in one pile, all the syrians into a second pile. The Foreigners, contact their embassies about put them on a flight back to their countries of origin, and there they can be jailed and or rehabilitated or whatever. The Syrian prisoners, deal with them and rehabilitate them or keep the ones that are too dangerous or criminal locked up.
Those camps need to be closed, they aren't really jails or rehabilitation facilities, but are functioning as incubators. There are children there that shouldn't be there. Women there that should be returned to their families if determined to be applicable for release and rehabilitation. And the rest put them on trial or keep them locked up in separate more secure purpose built facilities rather than in tent cities.
SDF/PKK has made the problem worse not better, keeping 50,000 all together in a camp with no control and no rehabilitation or even seperation.
