Daesh terrorists impose 'Afghan dress' in Syria's Raqqah

The Daesh Takfiri terrorist group has imposed an 'Afghan-style' dress code on men in Syria’s northern province of Raqqah so that its members can’t be distinguished from civilians.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights made the revelation on Monday, saying, "Daesh has imposed Afghan-style dress on residents of Raqqah so that informants giving coordinates to the US-led coalition will not be able to distinguish between civilians and fighters."

The UK-based group’s director, Rami Abdel Rahman, said that civilians and the families of Daesh terrorists were attempting to flee into Raqqah Province from neighboring Aleppo.

"Thousands of families in recent days have tried to reach the administrative borders of Raqqah Province, along with around 120 families of fighters and commanders of Daesh," the monitoring group said.

A Syrian activist also confirmed the report of the dress code imposed by the terrorist group, adding that, "Anyone who does not comply faces prison and a fine."

Abu Mohamed described the situation in Syria’s Raqqah as dire and said there was a "state of alert" in the northern province.

"Prices are skyrocketing and there is no electricity or water," he noted.
