About Article

The discourse about foreign terrorist fighters (FTF) in media, politics, and academic writings is mostly Western-focused, that is, it is focused on FTF from Western Europe. Indeed, thousands travelled from countries such as Germany, France, Belgium, and the UK to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS and other terrorist groups in the last decade. Not surprisingly, there is intense interest in how European states have responded to this new phenomenon. However, many more FTF stem from outside Western Europe, but this does not seem to have garnered much attention in the Western world. Cholpon Orozobekova’s book is changing this. This detailed account sheds light on the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan and their response to their own FTF who travelled to Syria and Iraq. This book discusses in detail those countries’ citizens and governments’ perspectives and attitudes towards their own FTF, their policies to deal with them, as well as their experiences with repatriation of the women and children of male FTF.
