I was told that speaking many languages is an advantage... looks like it is not true ! “U should go to Central Asia and Balkans to work with #ISIS folks there, but someone who only speaks English would go to Maldives”... and how is it fair ? 🙂
#Alhol corruption-Some ISIS money that were supposed to be paid to women still supporting #ISIS (100-300$ per family)were pocketed by women in charge. It became known when men from Hasaka prison checked (by phone).Now accounting is back in order-> ISIS gets its supporters back 🙂
