Life Under ISIS’s Shadow

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 19, 2014

Sulome Anderson discusses the way Northern Lebanon has been radically changed by the presence of ISIS. Some people support ISIS, few oppose it, and many tacitly go along with ISIS just to survive. With so many competing interests in the region, pulling citizens in so many directions, she examines whether the influence of ISIS will escalate violence in the region even further. Her article "In Northern Lebanon, Life Under ISIS’s Shadow," appears in the September 14 issue of New York.
