After media interest helped mobilise the evacuation of an Albanian boy from northern
Syria last month, families of other children of
Islamic State fighters are pleading with Tirana to redouble its efforts and bring the rest home.
Alvin Berisha, an 11-year-old Albanian boy from
Italy, was rescued from a Kurdish-run
prison camp in Syria in November after a popular Italian TV show whipped up support for his plight.
The boy's homecoming has also opened a ray of hope for other families in Albania who have been struggling for years to bring back youth snatched by their jihadist parents.
