Raqqa: The city fit for no one

So-called Islamic State's control over Raqqa estimated to be under 10%

The so-called Islamic State (IS) control over the Syrian city of Raqqa is thought to be as little as now as 10%. While the fighting is still ongoing, only 400 IS fighters are reported to remain.

Our Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville was with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighters in Raqqa as they battled with IS fighters to regain the city.
