Six hostages were freed on Saturday 20 Oct 2018 from Islamic State, which has held several women and children captive since it attacked Syria's Sweida city three months ago, state media and a monitor said.

Islamic State militants staged multiple suicide attacks in Sweida and overran nearby villages in southwestern Syria on July 25, killing more than 200 people, many of them civilians. They are from a Druze community. Druze authorities and Islamic State have held negotiations for the release of the hostages, however, since 25 July 2018 media was almost silent about the kidnapping and treated the case as "unimportant" and the people that were kidnapped as a 2-nd class citizens and not as significant as the "Westerners" or not as important as the citizens from Commonwealth Countries.

That saddened a lot of the world's audience. About 60,000 people responded that this is inhumane and unfair. Many expressed their opinion that UN is not active and many of the power countries are not acting in good faith to save the kidnapped women and children and to stop the violence in Syria for real and not to fuel the proxy war (which is how that fractions' war in the Middle East is known).

The good news is that two women and four children returned home on Saturday after being kidnapped from a village east of Sweida city in July 2015. This was reported by SANA (the official Syrian Media). 

Let's hope that the rest of the kidnapped victims are going to be free. 

We should thank ourselves that we supported a good cause and there is a hope for the rest of the captive women and children.
