U.S. backed forces took full control of Raqqa from the Islamic State group on Tuesday, defeating the last jihadist holdouts in the de facto Syrian capital of their now-shattered caliphate.
The victory caps a battle of more than four months for Raqqa and hammers another nail in the coffin of the jihadi's group experiment in statehood which has collapsed in the faces of the offensive on Syria and Iraq.
Inside Raqqa, joyous fighters from the Kurdish Arab Syrian Democratic Forces [SDF] celebrate and raised their yellow flag in the city's Al-Naim traffic circle which become known as hell 'Roundabout' after it was used for gruesome public execution.
