The Central Asian language services of RFE/RL have released a new video story documenting the growing number of recruits from Central Asia who are joining militants fighting for IS in Syria and Iraq. Research carried out by RFE/RL suggests that many are recruited while working in Russia as migrant workers.
RFE/RL has also introduced a new blog, Under the Black Flag, that provides a daily report on developments relating to IS in Iraq, Syria, Iran and the Former Soviet Union.
In addition, RFE/RL has an infographic showing which countries are countering IS and how they are achieving that.
