(ISIS) members - to a diplomatic delegation from Brazil’s embassy in Damascus.
In a statement, the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) said that a Brazilian delegation headed by Brasilia’s Charge d’Affaires Joao Zanini met with Fanar al-Kait, co-chair of DAANES’s foreign relations department, and Lana Hussein, representative of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), among others.
Of note, the YPJ is a core component of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which serves as the de facto military force in Rojava.
During the meeting, "a woman and a child from the families of ISIS were handed over to the Federative Republic of Brazil under an official document signed between both sides, within the framework of humanitarian cooperation," the statement said.
The Brazilian delegation reportedly expressed "deep gratitude for the coordination and support provided" by the DAANES and the SDF. Charge d’Affaires Zanini was cited as saying, "We appreciate the care that ensured the safety and health of our citizens until their return."
The US-backed SDF played a critical role in the territorial defeat of ISIS in Syria in 2019.
The Kurdish-led forces are also responsible for securing the Roj and al-Hol camps in Rojava’s Hasaka province. The two notorious camps house tens of thousands of individuals with suspected links to ISIS.
Although the meeting took place last week, it was only made public on Sunday.
Brazilian authorities had announced the arrival of Karina Ayalin Raiol Barbosa and her 7-year-old son in Brazil last Wednesday. Barbosa had spent about 9 years in areas controlled by ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
The pair were transferred from Rojava to Damascus, then to Doha, Qatar

, and finally to Sao Paulo where she was reportedly interrogated upon arrival.
This marks the second repatriation operation facilitated by the DAANES and the SDF in recent weeks.
In mid-August, the United States announced that it assisted Tanzania in returning one woman and three children from the Roj camp only weeks before, also expressing gratitude to the Kurdish-led forces in the repatriation.
