This is Al-Hol Camp in Hasakah province, Rojava. It is home to 10,000 Iraqi refugees who fled ISIS in 2014. They're from Anbar, Tikrit and Mosul.
Ali Issa is from Mosul. His children have been displaced to one Iraqi camp. He's not met them for nearly two years because he's a YPG fighter now.
Issa says Sunni-Shiite disputes prevent him from returning home. “Was it not for Shiites and Sunnis, I would work in Iraq, not for the YPG. I have been working in Susa in frontlines for a year,” Issa says.
