Aussie ISIS brides held in the Syrian desert have described the 'very difficult' circumstances and say they come home desperately.
A total of 14 Aussie women, and their 22 children, reportedly live in the Al Roj camp in northeastern Syria, after being trapped by Kurdish troops during the defeat of ISIS 2019 by a coalition led by the US.
Two of the prisoners spoke about their situation, but refused to say how they lived in Islamic state -driven Syria, according to the ABC.
Kirsty Rosse-Emile, 30, from Melbourne, lives in the camp with her young daughter and stood on it: 'You don't know my story, you don't know why I am here, it's not my choice to be here. '
Mrs. Rosse-Emile traveled from Australia to Syria to join the Islamic State.
Her husband, born in Morocco Nabil Kadmiry, was a hunter for the terror group that was stripped of his Australian citizenship in October 2019 and is now housed in a Kurdish prison.
She refused to talk about Kadmiry with reporters.
“I can't really talk about it here, because it might make problems for me.”

She also stated that she was not a danger to Australia and had been a target for bullying in the camp.
'These people call me names, or throw rocks at me, because I don't cover my face or because they think I'm a non-believer now, just because of my personality, or I listen to music or I dress the way I dress me And things like that.
'So it's very difficult for me to keep living here. I don't feel safe. I have serious fear.
“We don't know what will happen. I don't know what will happen to our children. It's so scary.
'We are willing to meet everything we need upon arrival. We don't say we want a free ride. Hear us. '
Another Australian, 29-year-old Zeinab Ahmed, said there is a street in the camp called 'Australian Street' where the Aussie women live.
“It's not a place for a child to be and every day, every day, especially in the past two months, it just gets harder every day,” she said.
'We live well, we have a strong bond because we all have the same motif. We all want to come home. '

Observers have criticized the circumstances in the camp, where Australian children are said to suffer from developmental disorders, diarrhea and rachitis.
But there are also fears that the camp is a hotbed for Islamic extremism and the Australians, if repatriated, can cause problems at home.
About 6,000 foreign children of former ISIS hunters are housed in the Al Roj and Al Hol -Camps in Syria.
In September the High Court refused a legal offer by Save the Children to repatriate the remaining Australian women and children.
Four women and 13 children were sent back by the Albanian government in October 2022 and the government of Morrison repeated a group in 2019.
