شر موقع بزنس إنسايدر تقريرًا مصورًا أعدَّه أوسكار وليامز-جروت، قال إنه يُظهِر “احتفال السوريين- في مدينة منبج- بالتحرر من قبضة “داعش” بلعب كرة القدم وحلاقة اللحى وتدخين السجائر”.

وركَّزت الصور التي التقطتها عدسات وكالة رويترز على إظهار الاحتفاء الذي استُقبِلت به قوات سوريا الديمقراطية بعد دخولهم منبج، وتخلُّص بعض النساء من نقابهنّ إما خلعًا أو حرقًا، وحلق أحد الرجال لحيته، وتدخين إحدى السيدات المسنات.

A woman approches a Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) fighter to kiss him after the fighters entered Manbij, in Aleppo Governorate, Syria, August 7, 2016.The UN has claimed that more than 78,000 people have been displaced since the assault began; and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights suggested that at least 437 civilians, 105 of them children, were killed.ISIS also took around 2,000 civilians hostage to use as a human shield as they retreated from Manbij to Jarabulus, a city on the Turkish border.However, after weeks of fighting, the SDF gained "almost complete control" of Manbij this week, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, with the last of ISIS fighters leaving on Friday. The 2,000 kidnapped civilians have also been freed by ISIS.Sharfan Darwish, of the SDF-allied Manbij military council, told Reuters: "The city is now fully under our control but we are undertaking sweeping operations."Residents of Manbij have celebrated their new-found freedom by doing things that were forbidden under ISIS such as playing football, shaving off their beards, and smoking.The minimum punishment for breaking ISIS' rules was flogging, while many were executed for transgressions. A female dentist who treated men was publicly beheaded, the UN said in a report in 2014.Women also had to cover their entire bodies, with one woman in Mosul, Iraq, challenged for not having her hands fully covered. This Manbij resident celebrates ISIS being driven out by burning a niqab.Reuters reports one woman told the fighters who had liberated her: "You are our children, you are our heroes, you are the blood of our hearts, you are our eyes. Go out, Daesh [Arabic name for IS]!"Another apparently screamed: "I feel joy and [it is like a] dream I am dreaming. I cannot believe it, I cannot believe it. Things I saw no one saw," before fainting.
