Therefore, it seems strange that in spite of knowing the fate that awaits them once they land up in Syria, a total of nine medal students have fled from Sudan to Syria and their families are trying to make them see reason and bring them back.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 22 March 2015.
The nine are British medics and they have travelled from Sudan to Syria to work in hospitals in areas that are controlled by Islamic State. They are four men and five women and they have crossed into Syria without informing their parents.
One of the women had informed her family of the trip via Whatsapp and that is how the remaining parents came to know of their designs.
The students have been born and brought up in Britain but had been studying in Sudan since their parents wanted them to experience and grow up in a more Islamic culture.
The Home Office has advised against all travel to Syria and parts of Iraq and has cautioned that anyone who does travel to these areas, even on humanitarian grounds could mean danger.
