2019-02-20
Shamima Begum, the teenager at the centre of a row over whether she should be allowed back into the UK, has settled the argument once and for all by electing to stay in a Syrian refugee camp after being offered a council house in Barnsley. Begun’s case has attracted huge controversy after she fled the UK to join ISIS aged 15, but recently asked to return after becoming a mother.
A close friend told The Bugle, “At first Shamima was very keen to come home. She thought long and hard about it, after recently giving birth and what it would mean for her new-born child. . The squalor, daily degradation and sheer mind-numbing misery were a huge consideration, and for that reason, she’s decided to stay in Syria.
The Bugle understands that Begum was also concerned about having to learn a new language which is widely ranked alongside Swahili as the most difficult to master.
