CRI听力:ISIL Displaces 30,000 People in Eastern Syria: Activists

2014-07-08来源:CRI

An overseas Syrian human rights organization claims the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant has forced some 30-thousand people from a region in eastern Syria.

The people have reportedly been forced out of their homes over the weekend in a city called Shahel.

This comes amid heavy fighting between the ISIL and the so-called Nursa Front, which is an al-Qaeda splinter group that has also been fighting for control of the region.
ISIL has already claimed control of much of western and northern Iraq, as well as parts of eastern Syria.

The group has proclaimed a caliphate in the region, and has been calling on Muslims around the world to immigrate there and pledge allegiance to the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
