      Inside Raqqa: Syrian Women Secretly Film To Show Life Under ISIS

      Using hidden cameras two Syrian women record what life is like inside al-Raqqah, makeshift capital of the Islamic State.

      In the video, the two women — who remain anonymous and use the pseudonyms “Om Mohammad” and “Om Omran” — walk through the streets of Al-Raqqa with video cameras hidden in their niqābs.

      The footage has been posted on the Youtube page of Expressen.se - a swedish tabloid daily.

      The end of the video underlines the fear and darkness that has enveloped the lives of Syrians since the outbreak of the civil war and the establishment of the Islamic State, "I long to take off the niqāb and the darkness that cloaks us, for good,” says one of the women at the end of the video. “I can’t wait to dress the way we used to in the past ... to be able to go out in the street without being scared, and without seeing weapons or foreigners who have beards and look scary. I want to live the way I want. Buy what I want. I want to go out alone, free, without having a guardian with me. Nothing matters more than freedom.”
