Where will the women of ISIL go?

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) has lost most of the territory it once controlled in Syria and Iraq. Now, all that remains is a few hundred square metres on the Iraq-Syria border.

Thousands of women and children have poured out of the shrinking caliphate in recent months, and their home countries must now decide whether or not to take them back.

In this episode of The Take, host Imtiaz Tyab speaks to correspondent Imran Khan about the rise and fall of ISIL and why there are no easy answers when it comes to the women in its violent wake.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose.
