2- Defeat of ISIS in Raqqa came at huge cost. Many killed, city destroyed. See this 360 pic we took in July in Raqqa kuula.co/share/7lfGD
3- We saw the same images of destruction from many areas where ISIS was defeated. Take these pics from Mosul &Kobani for example. @akhbar 
4- But at the end of the day, what are the available options? Either keep ISIS in power or fight them &pay the heavy price. No third option.
5- Today, let's also recall BS published by some so called analysts advocating "talking to ISIS" & "military action against ISIS wont work."
6- This is Al-Naim square. Now in hands of SDF. This is where ISIS executed many. They used to hang bodies on that fence &electricity poles.
7- Ultimate slap to ISIS. SDF in Raqqa told me this summer already they would do a doughnut at AlNaim square to make fun of ISIS. @akhbar
8- Real challenges for SDF in Raqqa start now. Reconstruction, reconciliation &sorting out differences with Arabs to avoid Kirkuk scenario.
