Factors leading Syrian youths to extremist groups
mercredi 25 mai 2016 à 02:00300 interviews conducted by International Alert lead to the conclusion that the main factors leading Syrian youths to extremist groups are "personal experiences of trauma, loss of economic and educational opportunities, and a desire for vengeance against the Syrian government."
The way "loss of opportunities" does this is that they join for the pay, regardless of whether they entirely agree.
I wonder where groups such as al-Nusra get the money to pay them.
