TOPSHOT - A picture taken on February 20, 2019, shows a truck carrying men, identified as Islamic State group fighters who surrendered to Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), as they are transported out of IS's last holdout of Baghouz in Syria's northern Deir Ezzor province. - A convoy of trucks evacuated dozens of people from the Islamic State group's last Syria redoubt, bringing US-backed forces closer to retaking the final patch of their 2014 "caliphate". The implosion of the jihadist proto-state which once spanned swathes of Syria and neighbouring Iraq has left Western nations grappling with how to handle citizens who left to join IS.
