more than 5000 yezidi kurdish men died in Shengal at the deadly month of august 2014, and still hundreds have died after... It looks like it was yesterday. We have had halabja where also 5000 kurds died... It has been almost 20 years and yet again we have another genocide but on the shengalis. They had in 2007 already a terrorist attack which 700-800 shengalis died, it actually makes me furious that there hasn't been made a topic for these massacres/genocide yet almost after a year. I feel we didn't have given it enough attention but i can understand it is all going very quick... I as the onliest active yezidi kurdish member on this forum decided to seek more attention to it, some people on this forum don't see it as i do, or any other yezidi kurd. I honestly believe that because we are yezidi the kurds don't matter as much about it as about halabja. Maybe it takes some time before we realise what has happend, as i just realised how bad it was when it was happening we all cried and cried day by day seeing videos of yezidi kurds mass executed, or trapped at the mountain, and when we get an interview of a yezidi kurdish woman who got raped and tortured. and since a short while i realised again how bad it was. I just had to write my thoughts and opinions that i had to share it with you. Let the martyrs who died in their homes of shengal and it surroundings after Daash took over in the night, the ones who died on the mountain because they didn't have any water, food or medical supplies, the ones who got executed after refusing their ideology and the religion of them, the ones who committed suicide after beeing raped by filthy Daash bearded rats, the ones who died trying to protect the yezidi shrines, the kurdish yezidi peshmerga who died in fight trying to take mount shengal and it surrounding back and are now fighting for shengal. Hope on the women and others held by Daash be given back to their families. May they all rest in peace  the shengalis trusted the peshmerga who were defending them for years. Then peshmerga betrays the shengalis by withdrawing without warning. Martyrs of shengal will always be in our hearts   my mom is from shengal, she has lost people, all shengalis i met lost people, even my steph mother from bashiqa has lost people all her family lost everything their homes, their work, their farm, their everything except the kurdish religion .

I agree. Why they only wrire about Halebce?? Why? I have never seen a kurdish muslim write about Meres genocide against elewwi kurds yet I write and show respect to every massacre and gonocide. Rawanduz, Dersim, Kocgiri, Meres, Geliye Zilan, Halebce, Al anfal, Sex Said times, PKK times of being active, Barzani family massacre, massacres against ezidi brothers, Sengal and Rojava massacre that is still going on. |

According to UN sources at least 5000 kurdish yezidi men died at august 2014. The death count is probably now around 6000... very sad may they indeed rest in peace.

Kurdistan Parliament Seeks International Recognition of Yazidi Genocide 43 countries are supporting the case, says Kurdish MP The Kurdistan Region members of Parliament have officially asked for the genocide of Yazidi women to be recognised at the Istanbul Summit Conference. A delegation from the Women’s Rights Committee of the Kurdistan Region Parliament recently took part in the Istanbul Summit Conference. The head of the delegation, MP Ivar Ibrahim, addressed participants from 43 countries on 11th May, calling on them to work toward the recognition of the genocide. MP Ibrahim told BasNews on her return, “In a panel discussion given by the Kurdistan Region delegation, we had the opportunity to explain the brutality of Daash (IS) militants against Yazidi women. We also outlined the current situation of the surviving Yazidis. “Our delegation asked the participating countries to deliver the case to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in order to internationally recognise the genocide of Yazidi women. “All 43 countries promised to support the case”, added the MP. After crossing into Iraq and taking control of Mosul in the north of country, IS militants attacked Yazidis in Sinjar. They murdered hundreds, kidnapped women and forced others to flee their homes. The kidnapped Yazidi women are reportedly being traded in IS territories and forced to marry jihadists. Yazidis are an Iraqi ethnic and religious minority who have been targeted by IS for “devil worship”. http://www.basnews.com/en/news/2015/05/14/kurdistan-parliament-seeks-international-recognition-of-yazidi-genocide/

Thousands of Yezidis still in Daash hands despite daily rescue efforts By Yousef Ahmed DOHUK, Kurdistan Region - At least 4,500 Yezidis are still in Daash captivity despite the rescue of thousands of others, according to the Office of Yezidi Affairs in Dohuk. The office, which releases daily figures and data about Yezidi captives and was founded by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), also fears that about a dozen more mass graves are yet to be found in Yezidi areas attacked by Daash since last summer. “We know that at least 1,758 Yezidi people have been rescued and 10 such mass graves have been found since last summer when the attacks began,” said Hussein Koro, head of the office, adding that most of the captives are women and children. Koro said his office can verify the deaths of 1,280 Yezidis while in Daash confinement. Seven-year-old Alan and his mother are the latest to be rescued from Daash captivity in the Shingal area. The mother, who wished to remain unidentified, said most of her family members were still in Daash hands. “We have been in their hands for 10 months,” she said. “My son and I are here, but our other children, our girls and our old people are still there,” she told Rudaw. The rescue effort of many of the Yezidis has been a direct outcome of paid ransoms to Daash militants or intercession by Sunni tribal leaders in the area who appear to have influence among the Daash ranks. The KRG has announced that it paid many of the ransoms for the return of the captive Yezidis. Alan and his mother did not wish to discuss the details surrounding their escape from captivity. Koro says that, despite financial aid from the KRG to help the Yezidis after their return from confinement, most Yezidi families are in desperate need of economic aid, as they are unable to return to their areas and have lost virtually all possessions. “We do everything to first get them out of there, but so much more is needed to be done afterwards, which we at the moment don’t have the means to do,” Koro said. A 2015 UN report estimates that nearly 1.5 million refugees or displaced people have taken shelter in the Kurdistan Region since mid-2011 when the bloody Syrian uprising started. The KRG, already heavily affected by budget cuts in Iraq, has been under mounting pressure to accommodate the refugees. http://rudaw.net/english/kurdistan/180520152 |

In Sinjar Different Kurdish Forces Unite to Defeat Islamic State BasNews Correspondent goes inside the Yazidi majority town SHENGAL – As our driver carves down the final descent from Mount Sinjar into the town below, we pass ten or more upturned cars, some with clothing spilled onto the side of the road. The burnt out husks are testament to those that perished at the hands of Islamic State (IS) as they fled their homes in the town below in August of last year. The Yazidis that sought refuge in the crucible of the mountaintop endured extreme temperatures, fatal thirst and constant insecurity. IS have advanced up the mountain, only to be forced back, and Kurdish forces now control a frontline on the northern outskirts of the town. Thousands have been killed, and up to 5,000 women and girls kidnapped, to be traded as sex slaves in markets in IS territories. It has been a terrible 11 months in the history of a people that chart their history in tragedy. Those on the mountain are waiting, with another blistering summer already begun, to go home. They want to trek down the mountain and breathe life back into their community. Amid accusations of power plays between the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the South Kurdistan Regional Government, and even political divisions within the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga, it is difficult to see how Kurdish forces can take back and then protect Sinjar town. The PKK have been locked in a guerrilla insurgency against the Ankara government for 30 years and recent attempts at establishing a lasting peace have faltered. Turkey and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) enjoy close economic ties. However, since the attacks by IS, and the response in Sinjar of the PKK and closely aligned People’s Protection Units (YPG) from Syrian Kurdistan, broader Kurdish relations have improved. The Turkish government even allowed Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga through its territory to support the PKK and YPG in Kobani at the end of 2014. BasNews is welcomed to the Kurdish forces base by Commander Muaed Tofiq, of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan’s (PUK) 70 Division Peshmerga. The PUK are seen as more traditionally in agreement with the left wing sentiments of the PKK. Tofiq is unconcerned by the perceived allegiances the fighters under his command may have – in the short trip to the base the flags of the MLKP, YPG and PKK were clearly visible. One man at the base is wearing a t-shirt bearing the face of Mam Jalal Talabani, the PUK leader and former President of Iraq. “There is no problem between the forces, they are supporting each other. The Minister of Peshmerga is responsible for all of them.” Of greater concern to Tofiq is the lack of effective weaponry and equipment. It’s apparent that all the fighters here are under-equipped. Less than a quarter is wearing adequate shoes, with many fighters clambering through mortar debris in cheap flat soles, the backs flattened down. The only weapons are ageing AK-47s. “We need weapons and bullets…. we want anything that can help us fight IS. Our forces are wearing cheap clothes. “It’s war time, we need fighting equipment. We bought these weapons ourselves, we were not given them by the government.” When asked about the G3 and G36 rifles gifted to the Kurdistan Region by the German government, Tofiq’s spirit is unbowed. “We are not getting any weapons. It’s not related to KDP or PUK or anything, we just aren’t getting any weapons. We have had no training [from the coalition]. We buy our own weapons and ammunition. Gratitude from Europe is not enough,” he says without bitterness, but perhaps just a slight crease of confusion on his brow. In his immaculately ironed uniform and leather belt and holster, Tofiq leads us to the frontline, to meet the Kurdish forces that have been ordered by President Barzani to hold the position, not to launch an offensive. As a shot rings out, Tofiq explains that there is no Peshmerga sniper at this position to return fire. “There is no sniper here, but we have a fighter with a BKC [a medium-sized machine gun]. We coordinate with the PKK sniper.” It appears that there is a Kurdish coalition fighting IS on the edge of town. We are taken to the BKC position, on the first floor of a traditional house, climbing to the nest from a courtyard. The operator of the weapon, wearing the unlikely combination of a straw fedora and bayonet strapped to his chest, explains to BasNews how the Kurds are working together. “This morning three Peshmerga and a PKK fighter coordinated, they went to bring back the body of a comrade killed by IS. When they went, IS shot at them. I helped them by covering with my BKC. They came back without the body, but safely. “The PKK wanted to retrieve some IS equipment that had been left in the field. They got a BKC and an RPG, one of the IS fighters was killed by the Peshmerga in the operation. We are not PUK or KDP, we are KRG Peshmerga.” Outside, fighters are sitting in the shade at the back of the house, safe from the attentions of IS snipers. Some are drinking tea, others are observing the Ramadan fast and won’t slake their thirst until Iftar. The music of Rojava singer Mohammed Sherko leaks with tinny imperfection from a mobile phone. A PKK fighter arrives, dressed in traditional sharwal trousers. He looks old enough to be carrying a weapon, but not by much. BasNews asks how old he was when he joined the PKK. Sheepishly Shevan (not his real name) replies that he hoodwinked the PKK command to join up, two years ago, “I’m 20 years old, but I told the PKK that I’m 22 because there are some rules with the military command; they won’t accept anyone under 20, and I’ve been in the PKK since I was 18.” He’s been in Sinjar for eight months, and refuses to leave for rest, even missing the chance to vote for the People’s Democratic Party (HDP) in his home city of Mardin during the Turkish general election earlier this month. “The HDP is Apo’s project, which wants to collect all Kurdish ideas in one party. We’re really happy about the election, the HDP is very strong. The HDP will fight those who try to suppress Kurds in Turkey.” Shevan is extremely distrustful of the Turkish government. “If we say IS is our enemy, the real enemy is Turkey and Iran, they have always wanted to fight the Kurds. IS want to fight the Kurds, and of course in this case Turkey want to help IS – we have proof that many times Turkey has helped IS forces,” he says, without elaborating on the evidence. Black smoke starts to rise from IS houses 80 metres away, and we are ushered away. IS snipers have set fire to tyres, to give them cover from jets overhead as they move positions. This action is almost always accompanied by an increase in activity, and soon gunfire is cracking through the air. Tofiq later explains the tactic. “The problem with the snipers, they don’t fight from a stable position, they are moving every day, every night, every hour. When they burn the tyres they are changing places. “They have dug a lot of tunnels in this area – in the night they are coming, very close to the Peshmerga and then returning by tunnel, not overground. Sometimes the coalition drop heavy bombs when they know that they’re using the tunnels, but not very often,” he says. We move to a compound shared by the PKK, YPG and the female units of the YPJ. There is a large hole in the garden, from which earth is used to fill sandbags. In the corner a PKK fighter cuddles an albino rabbit, almost completely obscured in his hands. Two women from the YPJ tell us that they have been in Sinjar for 45 days. One is from Amedia, the other from eastern Turkey, or Bakur, as it’s known in Kurdish. Like Shivan they remain in Sinjar when they are given leave – they tell BasNews that they are here to free the town, and won’t leave until they have. We head back to the base for one last chat. Over a glass of tea Tofiq explains how the Kurds are trying to combat IS with limited equipment. “Sometimes there is a conflict between IS and Kurdish cells [radios] and sometimes we hear them speaking in code for movements – ‘The seller is coming! The seller is coming!’ When we hear the voices, some of them are speaking in Turkmen, they are from Tal Afar, but the PKK understand them!” he says gleefully. “Sometimes we hear their voice without radios, because they are so close; at night especially.” A fighter interrupts to lament the lack of night vision equipment – although one PKK fighter has a set. We leave the base to take the switchbacks up the mountain, once more passing the cars and clothes. As we pass the ridge and drive down into the long valley which is now home to several semi-permanent tent villages, the translator turns and tells me that the Peshmerga are often insulted and harangued when they travel through this area. Many Yazidis blame them for abandoning Sinjar when IS first arrived in August last year. But for now, on the front at least, there is Kurdish unity of purpose. Fighters from different fighters are joining to confront the common enemy, sharing limited resources, good humour and linguistic skills. http://www.basnews.com/en/news/2015/06/30/in-sinjar-different-kurdish-forces-united-to-defeat-islamic-state/

Shengalis have have suffered the most still half of the town and surrounding yezidi kurdish towns still in isis control, most shehids were yezidi kurds from shengal , most enslaved= shengalis. There have died over 6000 civilians maybe even reaching over 7000 more than any other peshmerga casualties or ypg casualties COMBINED. there are still 4000 yezidi kurds kept as slaves, this is the worst and first genocide of the century. Over the whole world millions of kilometers/miles this atrocity has chosen my little hometown.

Vian Dakhil: ‘My tears were their tears’ Vian Dakhil Saeed Khidthir, the only female Yezidi member of Iraqi parliament, was born in 1971 and raised in Mosul as the oldest of nine children. Her father was a surgeon and six of her siblings are doctors. Dakhil studied science and entered politics after serving as lecturer in biology. A member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, she is also a member in the Iraqi parliamentary Committee of Services and Reconstruction. Dakhil gained recognition last year with a heart-felt plea to the international community to help the Kudish Yezizi trapped on Mount Shingal and being massacred by the Islamic State, or ISIS. She has since worked tirelessly to help the thousands of Yezidi traumatized by ISIS and those who remain the hands of the jihadists. Rudaw’s Nawzad Mahmoud met with Dakhil on June 29 to discuss her famous speech, the nation of Iraq, and the future of her people. Rudaw: You’ve been a member of the Iraqi parliament for two terms now. What have you been able to do for Yezidis and are they satisfied with your work? Vian Dakhi: Yes, I have been a lawmaker for two consecutive terms. I’ve also been the head of the Social and Service Committee of the parliament. I wanted to show that I am a lawmaker in the service of all the people. There were those who thought and said that I was working only for the Yezidis. But this wasn’t true. Despite all of this, I never forgot that I was voted into the Iraqi parliament predominantly by the Yezidi people and I had to serve them. I wondered how I could in the best way help Shingal and the surrounding areas: reducing the unemployment or starting great infrastructural projects, although the government was not able to do much for these areas because of the financial crisis. I’m proud that I was able to push for a draft in the parliament that would give Shingal greater residential space. Unfortunately, Daesh [ISIS] invaded Shingal and much of that was lost, for now. Prior to ISIS invasion, did the Yezidis suspect that ISIS would attack their communities? Were you aware of that? People say Daesh attacked Mosul on June 10, 2014, but this is not quite right. Daesh has been present in Mosul in 2003, 2004 and 2005. We have many examples. Yezidis, the Shabaks and other ethnic groups were assassinated in Mosul during these years. Didn’t they expel them (Yezidis and the Shabaks) from universities? They would have even killed a Yezidi policeman if he entered Mosul. But Daesh said repeatedly that they were only fighting the Iraqi government and that gave the Yezidis some reassurances that the fight was not targeting them. In the start, Daesh said they wanted the Yezidis out of the city but did not kill them. Even when Daesh overran Tal Afar, we thought we should remain in our own areas and defend Shingal, since we thought Daesh was there to fight the Shiites and not us but then what happened is history. You mean that Daesh did not want to reveal its true intentions towards the Yezidis in the start? No, they did not. As I said, they only asked the Yezidis to leave the areas in Mosul and Tal Afar. They wanted to appear as if they are only against the Shiites which consequently made many Yezidis not to expect the Daesh assault or to end up in their captivity. When Shingal fell, you delivered a speech in Kurdistan parliament. You lost control and burst into tears, which was publicized very much. Did you prepare for that day? No, of course not. Two days after Daesh invaded Shingal on August 5, 2014, I continually received horrible news from the city. These were the worst days of my life. I kept hearing the horrible reports of abducted girls and women, of infants dying of famine. Too many people were trapped on the mountain without food or water. These days will never be forgotten. One day before the parliament session I wrote the speech, but I never thought it would be so much publicized. The crying was not the issue there, as I was crying even before that. I was preparing to be very strong and not to cry so that I could reach the whole world and call for help. So you thought you would appear stronger if you did not cry? When I started my speech, I could not escape thinking about the mass crimes committed against my people. I was in the parliament in body, but my thoughts were with the Yezidis who were so much alone and without protection. All of a sudden, emotions ran through my body and forgot why I was there at all. I was hurt and heartbroken. Were the Yezidis in touch with you from Shingal Mountain? Yes, I was receiving reports and stories of unprecedented cruelty. Every story was more horrible than the others. It was terrifying. When you visited abroad, did you hear reactions about your speech and cry? Most Western officials whom I met said that before my cry for help, they did not know that so many crimes had been committed against the Yezidis. It was crying and calling for help, but in the end it was also a voice, which would secure help. Did you feel abandoned when you delivered your speech? I felt everybody around me were my friends, but I also felt that we were left alone outside the world’s attention. Some thought you were luckier than the other Yezidi women whose cries no one saw, but the world did see your tears. It is true. My tears were to convey their tears and agony. I wasn’t crying for myself. I wasn’t hungry or thirsty. I was crying for them who were thirsty, hungry and heartbroken. The world had to see their tears through someone else. Do you think the Western world, which has many institutions, was this time acting out of emotions? It is true. When I visited the White House, I was told they convened urgently after seeing my speech and tears. They said they immediately decided to send humanitarian assistance and attack Daesh. But I think the media’s effect was much more than my tears. What kind of help for Yezidis did you ask the outside world for? The best assistance for the Yezidis is now to confront Daesh and annihilate them. The great help would be to free the captive Yezidi women and girls. We have concentrated on that issue and the government must help the youth toward rehabilitation. The victims need attention in terms of psychotherapy and must be compensated economically as war casualties. After that, we have to rebuild the area and help people to return to their homes. Were there any promises to assist you in this way when you visited abroad? I did whatever was in my power. But we are dealing with a case of genocide. It should not be trivialized and underestimated. How many captive Yezidis have been rescued so far? The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has rescued close to 1,700 people, of which over 600 are women and girls. The KRG says it has spent a lot to pay for the ransoms of Yezidi women and girls despite the economic crisis. Have you asked the Iraqi government to help you in that too? I asked the Iraqi government and parliament but they have not allocated any money for that end. They say they have no budget and that ransoms are illegal. The most absurd thing is that Baghdad has only approved payments worth 7 million dinars [$5,000 USD] for the rescued Yezidis and that went for their clothes. 7 million dinars? Yes, in fact. And those Yezidis who are in Europe and have economic means? A great number of Yezidi Kurds who are aboard have collected help and sent it to their fellow Yezidis here. And some have sent help through international aid organizations. The summer break will end in early July and you will be back in Baghdad for parliaments new sessions. What plans do you have? I want to prepare a petition with as many signatures as possible to pass a law in the parliament which enables authorities to prosecute any one who has taken part in the abduction of Yezidi women and be seen as war criminal. It will be of interest to Yezidis. You have seen some of the rescued. Which story has shaken you most? (In tears) There was a girl. She came to see me and told me she hates her body since they forced her to intercourse with them. ‘I wish I could cut my tongue,’ the girl told me. It was painful. The Yezidis say they have been annihilated far too many times in the past. But is this the worst one yet? No, I don’t think this is. The difference is that this time it was recorded in photos and videos and we know the number of the victims. This has been done even in the past. Yezidis have been abducted, killed and burned in the past. But it was not recorded then. This time people came to our rescue, but that was not the case in the past. What did the world leaders tell you after the honorary awards? I have been honored three times. The last one was in Austria when I received one from the hands of the prime minister [Werner Faymann ]. They all told me that I did the appropriate thing when I cried for help. My tears were a starting point for outside help. But it is a huge responsibility also on my shoulders. I have to continue in this way. The International Crime Court (ICC) is involved in the process? We try to go forward with the case. The problem again is the Iraqi government, which is not part of ICC. If Baghdad does not do what is required, then we, the KRG should find a solution through The Hague. We have the necessary documents. Now people are asking for Shingal to become a province? Shingal must first be liberated and then returned to the Kurdistan region. We have been annihilated by our neighbors. Even the Arab countries around us plotted against us when they saw that we wanted to return to Kurdistan. Why did you visit Shingal Mountain? I remember the plane you were on crash-landed. I had, in the beginning, no plans to go there. I went to the base of the pilots to thank them. People in Dohuk delivered food and other necessities to the base and the pilots flew it to the trapped Yezidis on Mount Shingal. The pilots were flying to the mountain four or five times a day. When I saw all these people and Peshmarga and the pilots who were working so much with passion, I decided to go with them. The late pilot who died in the crash said, ‘Vian, your tears brought me here from Basra.’ We flew to the mountain and when we reached there I asked them to rescue as many trapped women and girls on the mountain as possible. What I saw there was indescribable. The plane crash-landed because of the heavy load. http://rudaw.net/NewsDetails.aspx?pageid=142123 |
