During operations against ISIS, the ISIS child soldiers, captured by the Iraqi army and undergoing rehabilitation in a juvenile detention center, quietly explained their reasons for joining the terrorist organization—"revenge for my father," "revenge for my brother," "I wanted money"—before concluding with these words. This is a literal "vicious cycle" where victims of the war on terror and the civil war it brought about become perpetrators, and those victims may retaliate against the perpetrators. The complexity and deep-rooted nature of the divisions left among the Iraqi people are evident. Behind the smiles of people basking in the liberation after a long war, the shadow of the next conflict lurked. If this division is left unchecked, another conflict will undoubtedly occur. It is precisely during "peacetime," when there is no fighting, that we must confront war, promote dialogue, and dedicate ourselves to conflict prevention. If former child soldiers who have completed rehabilitation are ostracized and unable to find work, they may rejoin armed groups to survive. And it will be they who suffer again. The words at the beginning have always been in my mind, and they became the impetus for creating the Peace Cell Project. That said, the feelings of those receiving the babies remain heartbreaking. When I said, "The baby is innocent," my friend in Mosul emphatically replied, "An ISIS child is ISIS." Knowing how deeply she had been hurt by ISIS and how many loved ones she had lost, I was shocked by her unreasonable words, yet I felt her sympathy. She continues to support children whose parents were killed by ISIS. One girl was found in her father's arms at the site of a factory where ISIS mass executions took place. "This child was in her dead father's arms for three days straight. She's still suffering from severe PTSD," she said. The wives and children of ISIS fighters are held in isolation in Al-Khor camps and prisons along the Iraqi-Syrian border. There are 43,000 (as of March 2024), mainly Syrian and Iraqi nationals, and several thousand foreign nationals from nearly 50 other countries. Many have had their citizenship revoked, and there is virtually no prospect of them returning home. Meanwhile, the Iraqi government has transferred approximately 10,000 Iraqi citizens to camps within Iraqi territory between January 2021 and the present (end of 2023). The plan is for them to undergo 3-6 months of rehabilitation before returning to their hometowns. However, even after returning, many are not issued ID cards, are unable to access basic public services such as education and healthcare, and face rejection or ostracism from their communities. Last year (October-November 2023), I visited areas formerly controlled by ISIS. Women referred to as "IS families" complained that they still feel discriminated against even after severing ties with their husbands who joined ISIS. One woman said she had been forced to move 11 times in a short period. Will the stigma of being an "IS family" ever disappear? Dialogue, not force. However, in a world of deep-seated division, even starting a dialogue is difficult. Dialogue doesn't easily connect people. Dialogue is extremely difficult. Nevertheless, if we do not attempt dialogue, humanity will perish. We must explore what is lacking in conflict resolution through dialogue. That is the work of Peace Cell.
