Kyrgyzstan's first repatriation flight from Iraq, carrying 79 children of Kyrgyz nationals imprisoned for ties with extremist groups, took place last March after three years of negotiations. Despite this, over 400 Kyrgyzstani nationals remain in Syrian detention camps, facing harsh conditions and limited aid. The children repatriated have struggled to adjust to life in Kyrgyzstan, and the government keeps a close watch to prevent radicalization. Efforts to repatriate more families are hindered by security risks, financial constraints, and lack of identification documents. Public opinion on the stranded Kyrgyz women is divided, but some, including parliament member Dastan Bekeshev, urge the government to act.
