Final Victory In The Battle Against ISIS Is In Sight | Collapse of the Caliphate
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 03. 2019
- From gun trenches in the hills overlooking the Syrian town of Baghuz, US-backed Kurdish and Arab fighters known as the Syrian Democratic Forces or SDF rain down automatic weapons fire on what’s left of the Islamic State caliphate.
After being driven out of Mosul in 2017, ISIS has been pushed back - mile-by-mile, through fierce fighting - from nearly all the territory it used to control in Syria into a tiny patch of land on the Euphrates river near the border with Iraq.
SDF commanders like Adnan Afrin say the full territorial victory they’ve spent years fighting for is finally now in sight: “this sprawling organization that stunned the world has crumbled and is close to being defeated. It's been painful, and difficult - from the day Isis started to this moment...but it's ending now.”
The SDF advance has been slowed by the number of women and children that have streamed out of ISIS-controlled areas since the bombardment started. More than 60,000 people have left during the course of the siege.
On Wednesday, SDF officials said they were in control of most of the encampment with just a small group of ISIS fighters left inside, surrounded and outnumbered. But from rooftops on the outskirts of Baghuz, SDF snipers continue to take out targets, while 50-caliber machine guns rain down fire from above and US jets patrol the skies overhead.
The battle is almost over, but for now ISIS fighters are still refusing to stop clinging on to their last tiny piece of territory.

Shout out to the cameraman who ran across gunfire while never losing focus on the reporter. You're the real MVP.
Mvp ?
Humam Slayer most valuable player... lol
Without it we wouldn’t be even watching this report
*Yo!* Just want to put this here~ (๑¯ω¯๑)
If by now you're still sayin' Islam is a cruel religion, boring, or something, then we all know that you either a jerk, a troll, or you do really mean it but actually, you only speak nonsense because you'd not say that if you've done your research lol.
This religion is more toward "the way of life" etc. Oh and, you know.. if you guys somehow want to know the simple truth, "what's what and why's" or, well.. just bored lol see this video. One of the Islam's real teaching insya Allah.

Yeah that's what I like about him
People saying the reporters got balls, we can’t forget about the cameraman :(
We cant forget the people fighting the isis. They got the real balls made of steel
@@forwardobservations8222 It's not a contest. It takes courage to carry a gun, kill, fight everyday. It also takes courage to go to these places that are unfamiliar, count on people you don't even know to protect you and to be smart in their movements, and NOT to carry a gun or other type of self defense tool. That is also courage, it's also courageous to carry a camera instead of a gun - to stick your head out from behind a wall to get a good shot. It's all crazy.
spot on
Rishiraj Deori You’re stupid, the soldiers have balls of _diamond._ Diamond is the world’s hardest material.
TextTales actually if you ever studied Minecraft, obsidian is the hardest material you stupid goose.
The guy shooting the rpg was happy man, lol
It feels good to shoot at people
It was me
@@fatmanwalking8610 you must be near deaf then lol
Better than laugh than cry about it i guess
@@eternaltyrus1058
@Abu Hajaar is immortal!
Really surprised that they have their own coins. Never expected that.
Alexander Anderson yeah even the Vikings had there own coins after they stopped making copies of English coins
isis isnt a group. its a real government and state.
not just coins, but full government services. one of the reasons they held on so long was they were doing a better job of it in many areas than Assad's government was.
@@neeneko funding from abroad. Who funded them
@The Liberal Capitalist they are gold and silver actually it have some value
I just want to be the first to say, Abu hajar is still rolling
ABU HAJAR!
Isn't he dead ?
@@jamescarter317 no im alive
Abu Hajaar for US presidency in 2020
lmao I cnt Believe I remembered 😂
This final fight story has more episodes then Star Wars .... next episode return of the SITH
Trojan Hell Its because isis used their children AS human shields!!SDF dont want to kill many civillians therefor
Well the talibans are taking back what they lost in Afghanistan
Saman Hasani agree
Pls on behalf of everyone - Kill all the ISIS filth and their disgusting wives, don't spare anyone. They don't deserve it.
Trojan Hell BTW i agree with u that They have said last one for almost 2 months now. But it is media not SDF because They know that isis is far from defeatet! I have seen on Twitter How isis delibratly put children in places Where They Can Get bombed And then Take video of it And sharing with their jihad rats so They Can say look How US And kurds are slaghtering us! They feel pity on themselves those sick fucks! And not to mention their jihadi whores And children Who Will grow up to be just like his father or Worse!
This is like the Arabic battle of Berlin.
Da ve damn it is
Raqqa was the battle of Berlin. This is more like taking out nazi loyalists in the alps.
Da ve your right
No it isn't! Lmao!
For real
3:35 you can see how the fighter is annoyed by the reporter asking stupid questions
🤷♀️
Fr
Ikr
Come back when you have enlightening and sincere questions lol
I hate stupid questions from reporters
These episodes are so mesmerizing. Props to the reporter for being brave enough to travel to Syria, and right at the doorstep of veteran ISIS fighters to record this. Hopefully one day in the near future Syria will be safe enough to visit. I used to go there a lot when I was a kid and it was beautiful (around Damascus). The people were incredibly nice too.
@Hasoni Mustafa Sad what happened to your Syria. Looks like it will take a long time to rebuild.
I’d love to travel to Syria when it’s safe again.
I would also love to go there
I've always been terrified to visit Syria, despite it looking like such a beautiful country to visit. It sucks so many psychopaths have ruined the country.
eventually, there will be peace on all the Earth!✝
No one seems to be asking what form
Of government will come next to the region. Are we going to have to do this all over again in 5 years?
Hopefully civil lead secular government...
Withering Liberal no seems to be asking why wear tactical skinny jeans in a war zone
Smart man, you are!
@@RL-ue4dz Lol right
It's pretty clear that Assad will still be in power in areas where he control to the west, Kurdish forces have control of the north now and doesn't seem to be willing to give it up, and rebel fighters will have the least amount of control to the south and is losing to Assad's forces fast. ISIS is almost gone now except in North Africa and Nigeria.
*Thank you for documenting on the front it’s a thing that journalist rarely ever do!*
Those Iraqi special forces are badass…..much respect and love from the UK! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I thought u guys hate brown people 💀
As an Indian we definitely support Kurdish brothers they deserve to have their own state... May u r god and my God help you in this....tc
How is the Kurdish Nationalist sentiment in Northern Syria? I was under the impression that it's been curtailed in favor of cooperation with the Arabs and other groups of the area. I am a fellow traveler of Social Ecology so I'd hate to see things dissolve due to internal disputes.
Rony Nair Kashmir is Pakistani land
Highly agree.
@@canadian7530 have guts to take kashmir from our hand
Fuzzy Dunlop Kurds have always welcomed everyone, democracy democracy democracy✌🏼
I've been watching this war on vice for around 5-4 years. Vice never stops making premium war content
Imagine being obliterated by a dusty guy with a rpg like GTA5
As an Afghan, Kurds have my upmost respect!
Support from Hindustan.
As a Kurd we love our Afghan brothers, like us, they now all about suffering yet standing still...
You alive?
Reporter is literally wearing jeans and semi formal shoes to a combat zone wtf lmao
Watched every vice video about the war against IS from their invasion to downfall
I am grateful to see these monsters go down
Respect to Kurds and the peshmerga soldiers from India.
Even in a combat zone, VICE still sends a hipster (the skinny jeans and fashion boots) to cover the story 🤣
😂😂
kangaroobot at least he has the balls to go to a war zone
He got big balls
Hector Mendoza
More balls then you had...hehe
So it's clothes rather than actions that show how manly you are? Sounds fake but ok
War is sad and no one wins. But gotta admit. These soldiers and the journalists embedded with them are fearless! May God protect them!
3:33 did he seriously just ask if isis had weapons
The guy should've said no they have flowers and vases 🤦♂
Lmao ikr
Belligerent Whale Do they have weapons 😑bruh
these reportages are soo well put together!
Long live the brave Kurds.
Ibrahim Somali thats the Syrians with Bashar al asaad

Hats off to such courageous journalists...bowing down
**legend says Abu Hajaar escaped being a PoW by simply rolling away, reports say he is now serving in Yemen**
at least he has a job
Wear your skinny jeans into combat.
srsly i'd be wearing track pants
@@draj8590 good idea for running
vice wont hire anyone who doesnt.
remote keylogger lol. Never thought about that but you’re right. I’m surprised they let Shane continue to be the boss on account of his huskiness.
bro I’d either wear leggings, or a freaking pair of trackpants (I’m female.)
See you in half year when vice releases another good video!
Very Good job to Kurdish fighters in Syria and to US-Air Force,,God Bless of all of yours always.
lol us air force???? US made ISIS ....where did you go to school?
the us created the isis to push out azad regime
This cameraman deserves an award 👏 🙌...Kudos to him
Great reporting Vice
Real journalist...... Proud to watch vice!!!!
What a shame all them people loosing there homes
Shame of what???? Do u know the the sound of the bullets.
@@majiidadam8620 frfr
Do more of this content but longer. I miss this kind of content in vice news
Its really nice to see a genuinely ballsy side of vice still existing.
I look forward to future "we're still fighting ISIS" videos.
ISIS power resides in the fact that they are an IDEOLOGY exported by SAUDI ARABIA.
@@DCM88 Indeed.
@@DCM88 Truth. The Rojava are already dealing with an insurgency along the Euphrates. You also have to understand, the folks of Rojava believe that the Coalition and the US are the only things protecting them from getting wiped out by Assad and/or Erdogan - so it's in their best interest to take their time because once Daesh is done for the US could pull their support and betray the Kurds. Which would possibly lead to genocide. The US is known for abandoning their allies.
DCM88 yeah that is why there are videos of ISIS terrorists ripping up Saudi passports and AlQaeda wanting to overthrow the Saudi monarchy yeah okaaay
Who do Isis hate?
Fighting is so different in real life footage compared to movies. RIP all victims.
2:10 Guy was a damn savage. He simply said," We gave the coordinates to the jets and they bombed it." turns around and walk away
Tf you want he good soldier
Thanks for this journalistic effort.
This right here is good journalism 👍👍
I am on this journey of imaginary state of ISIS since the rise of caliphate and now I am seeing the end of it. Great job by VICE news. Keep up the good.......God bless the fighting forces
It is not imaginary state. For 4-5 years they operated like a true country. They had their borders, money, laws, functioning government system. That IS a country and it doesn't matter if you like it or not.
@@vasilije94 was a country, now it's dead loool
@@papaisduniyakapapa nice commenting 2 years later. Yes its dead and i am glad it is. All i said was that it wasnt imaginary state like the guy above said.
@@vasilije94 lol really?
@@yo_fa5840 lol really?
*The fight against isis should be an Anime with an epic conclusion and having a fan favorite supporting character sacrifice himself only to come back as a friendly ghost in the end credits*
Miles Arroyo abu hajjar?
Amazing video so well documented. That reporter has balls to be in the line of fire and report.
Vice, this is such better reporting then your normal SJW stuff.
I mean... until the cia bankrolls and supplies them or some other group to overthrow governments. Also this war has been a great advertisement for the versatility of Toyota pickup trucks.
kevin moseley 😂 looool so truu
kevin moseley
The world ain’t that simple...
Hey my father has a toyota pick up with almost 200k miles they are bulletproof they are made to last
This war is worst than a jewlywood movie!
@@epsilonjay4123 Dude, CIA, NSA or whatever, i don't care what US organization supplied, trained and used them, but it was US that formed ISIS. It was US that helped and formed talibans to fight of Soviets. Either way you put it, all of these orgranizations in middle east were funded and supplied by US. One day they are "freedom fighters" because they fight american enemies, and once the US destroy the said country, they are the terrorist for wanting the country for their own. For 90% of conflicts around the world you can be damn sure that USA had something to do with it.
Now this is the kind of press coverage I can respect. No cozying up to the enemy and making the radicals out to be average citizens.
thankyou for sharing something i hope i will never have to witnes personally
Great job @VICE News. keep them coming with the updates on how the war against ISIS is going.
Proud of my soldiers, much love
This battle will remain a history
Vice I want to congratulate for covering the battle against ISIS so good for so long.
I love watching these vids
Kurdish hero's live long.
❤️💙💚 💚🤍♥️
That must be what it felt like to be a GI/Brit/Canuck/Frenchi crossing the Rhine or for a Soviet closing in on Berlin. Strange times we're living in, but at least less people are dying about it.
Imagine being a Kurd, Yazidi, or Arab closed in and surrounded in your hamlet - squished up against the border to Turkey with the wolves breathing down your neck and lobbing mortars on your head, thoughts of your family in your head "did they make it past the border checkpoint in time?" Fighting for your life - hoping your American air support drops the bomb on the enemy for once. Now imagine a few years later, going from the arid mountains to the dusty riverlands, following the Euphrates all the way, nipping at the heels of the enemy who would've destroyed you. The roles are now reversed and the end is in sight, after long hard years of degradation and the long - but welcome - years of recovery ahead - not sure if some new enemy might present themselves once Daesh is dead.
Now imagine that, but dying in the last few days of the last battle after traveling that long road. Fuckin' a.
Jesus christ
Good job to the camera man, God bless you.
FINALLY ABOUT TIME
*It is not going to end here*
The fighters who dispersed are ready and waiting for the next splinter. ISIS came out of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and Al-Qaeda came out of the Taliban and the Taliban came out of the Mujahideen.
Only Muhajideen and Taliban are good. These others are demons. Taliban also is somehow goodbad
That commander had Ben fighting dash for five years. Hats off to gentleman
Vice go to Kashmir. There is still fighting going on there. I love your reportera
You want to turn it into another Indian propaganda arm?
Behenchod likes of republic tv better suites you.
Yes, go to Indian-occupied Kashmir
@@rubaniyasir I will be better than me contemporaries and say that . How do you know vice news will turn into a propaganda arm? That will only happen if you know that if vice goes to Kashmir they will see that all the terrorism for freedom is shit and all fueled by pakistani (KATUAS)? you know what is the truth. Yes republic tv shouts a lot but vice will also say the same thing once they see the ground situation...go hide inside your daddys lungi plz...i heard thatss what pakistanis like you do when you go to think...and 1 more thing .....by katua i mean the people who use terror as a means to cause disruption in peoples lives and do not have dicks.
All the disturbance in Kashmir is because of the terrorists based in Pakistan (I know you guys won't admit it but everyone knows that)
Forget PoK and IoK, remove the LeT and JeM first. Then we can start talks.
@@NonSecular haa na bhai

I am still afraid for the fact that it takes the whole world to fight ISIS...
After many years you said that you're close to defeating them.
This is very scary....this means they are determined and they're very strong.
They might regroup when are getting tire....
Funny title to see when were near the end of 2020 n this fight still rages on
All respect for kurds who actually destroyed the isis with US 🇺🇸
Isis is the creation of the US
that ''they have weapons?'' question made me laugh, thanks for that

Wow . No words .... While were living our lives in the other side of the world....

The cameraman never dies.
I remember sitting in class back in 7th grade and our teacher was talking about ISIS. Not it’s been almost 5 years and ISIS barely has anything left

This series is just like the Final Fantasy series
I can't imagine waging war on other humans in the name of a fairytale. Imagine aliens finding earth and asking why we're fighting each other over bedtime stories. Insanity.
I wouldn't believe religion is a construct unique solely to human beings.
@@Silvannetwork Yeah, I agree - I'm sure many alien species must have their own bizarre faiths, but unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that we kill each other for no damn reason.
Islam is true bro but these guys Allah say the people who kill is not Muslim
Kurds are so brave just look how he is fighting the rocket guy
Good video
Watching this, I wish I were a reporter there, experiencing a part of history.
i only hope that this will be the final war humanity has to take, it's about time we focused on more important things.
im sure that USA finds a way to start another one soon enough
Lap Lander lol you think the US started this? You must be a 4th grade dropout
I wish, but I have a horrible feeling that as long as humanity is split up via nations/religions etc, we'll kill each other over the slightest differences.
Here comes Ukraine
I’m a Kurdish she biznian i support the rojava or SDF the camera man and reporter were actually truly brave I appreciate their work and as always bij rojava
That guy shooting the RPG looks like he could shoot one in each hand
this is some next level journalism...respect for Team Vice
STOP CALLING IT A CALIPHATE! IT DOESN'T BECOME A CALIPHATE IF A SINGLE BEARDED GUY SAYS THAT HE HAS MADE A CALIPHATE JUST COME ON!
I feel sad or the common Syrian people,the true victims
Peace to the world !!!
