Leaving not penitential souls, but people who were going to continue the war. The SDS, however, has forbidden to hang flags and banners. However, the bearded armed men at the stops at the roadside shops promised to return and deal with these infidel, shaved beards. For the goods, however, paid. And promised to return.

In May, the Pentagon chief Dzheyms Mettis said: "We will not allow that foreign fighters have survived in the battles to come back to Europe, America, Asia and Africa. We will not let them do it ". But in the column there were foreigners from Azerbaijan, Turkey, France, Pakistan, Yemen, China, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia. And then Colonel Ryan Dillon claimed that only four foreign militants were able to leave Raccoon. And those soon arrested SDS.

The column turned off the road into the desert. With each driver in the cockpit there were 3-4 fighters who beat and insulted the drivers. "They said:" Let me know how to set up Rakka, we'll be back. They behaved defiantly. Accused us that we knocked them out of Rakka ", - recall the drivers. When the column passed through the city of Shanin, local residents were ordered to take refuge in houses. At the head of the column were two jeeps, they led the entire column. The column was controlled by coalition planes and drones. The way to the column was illuminated by rockets dropped from the plane by the coalition forces. Illuminated and the transition of the column across the border. A lot of militants remained in Syria in Idlib, dispersed through the desert. And those who went to France, Turkey, are eager to continue the fight against the infidels.

On the proposal of the command of the Russian grouping of troops to carry out a joint operation to destroy the retreating column, the "partners" declared categorically that the militants were being surrendered voluntarily and now fall under the provisions of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War. But according to the Convention, prisoners who surrender are not allowed to retain arms. Thus, the militants were allowed to hide with weapons.

As a result, Rakku left more than 4 thousand people, and not 200, as was stipulated in the secret agreement. The deal was aimed at maintaining normal relations between Kurds and Arab communities and the life of the Arabs. After all, in the hands of the militants there were a stadium and a city hospital, more than 400 women and children. But if some did everything to destroy the caliphate, not to allow it to crawl around the world, others did everything to preserve a hotbed of tension. Many of the militants who left Rakku will still show themselves.
