Disturbing & disappointing developments in continued assaults by #Turkish military in #Syria + #Iraq , particularly Turkish claim that this has been coordinated with Iraq/KRG authorities, which has serious implications for #Yezidi #Yazidi in #Sinjar; and many others.

Thread.
In this @washingtonpost article, it implies that cooperation exists among various authorities to green light #Turkey airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. This has serious implications for the so-called "Sinjar Agreement", which has failed to help Yezidis there.

The situation is extremely grave. ALL authorities throughout #Iraq , including Iraq govt & KRG govt, have a solemn duty to protect citizens in their territories. The deliberate targeting of #Yezidi #Yazidi in #Sinjar is an abominable human rights violations that is ongoing.

The mother of Majdal (see @hetvergetenvolk) has died. For years, we tried to reunite him with his mother in Germany. The last weeks, we tried to arrange an emergency visa for him and his sister Sipan as the mother was very ill. They didn’t get one, and now it’s too late. #yezidi
Majdal and Sipan are from Kocho, Sinjar. They were both kidnapped by IS, along with their mother and siblings. Their mother lived in Germany since 2015. She was part of a special asylum program for Yezidi’s. Majdal escaped in 2017, Sipan in 2021. Video of their reunification:
Majdal was 14 when he escaped from IS. We tried to apply for family reunification, but nothing worked out. In Germany, authorities said they should apply in Iraq, and in Iraq they said they should arrange it in Germany. For years, they were sent back and forth.

VIP escort arranged by #Netherlands govt for female #ISIS #Daesh terrorist's return home from #Syria. Female ISIS members committed horrific crimes and provided material support for genocide + terrorism. #Yezidi #Yazidi

@telegraaf @ADnl @volkskrant
Some may wonder why female #ISIS #Daesh members are given protection by their home governments, considering the literal GENOCIDE the Islamic State perpetrated against #Yezidi #Yazidi . Partly, it is because European states wrongly assess female ISIS members as not culpable.
Meanwhile, as these #ISIS #Daesh member is being brought home through the funding and protection of the Netherlands government, more than 2800 #Yezidi #Yazidi women and children remain unaccounted for in aftermath of ISIS's brutality and genocide

Today the United Nations @UN investigations @UNITAD_Iraq confirmed what we have all known: the #ISIS #Daesh attacks on #Yezidi #Yazidi was genocide.
As outlined by the @UNCoISyria in 2016, this was genocide in intent and execution.
Many individuals, organizations, and even countries from around the world have worked hard to make sure that this is shown to be true, including those inside and out of the #Yezidi #Yazidi community.
Even though it is a great achievement by the Yezidi community as a whole to see the world recognize this as genocide, there remains tremendous work to do. That includes the pursuit of justice in court cases, but it also includes tackling the root causes of Yezidi suffering.

International concern and pity for the welfare and condition of #ISIS #Daesh members held in detention, from the reputable and esteemed @hrw @KenRoth @lettatayler , may have international legal weight but is missing the bigger picture.

Thread.
It is admirable that crucial international rights organizations like @hrw and @amnesty work to improve adherence to justice, human rights, and the rule of law around the world. Rightly so and generally a force for good, as #Yezidi #Yazidi people know.
Those #ISIS #Daesh members, male and female, do in principle deserve fair trial, judicial processes, legal representation, and the robust legal system that most citizens enjoy in the West. That is ideal, and we #Yezidi #Yazidi would warmly welcome full trials of ISIS.

Thread: Some initial comments, concerns, hopes on the new agreement between #Iraq and #KRG on #Shingal . Some aspects are positive, but some can prove problematic. #Yezidi #Yazidi Image
A primary source of concern is that the agreement and discussions were done without participation of #Yezidi #Yazidi community. We would like the intl community to call for local engagement in such negotiations.

Below is comment from @UNIraq . Image
We should empower and raise up the decision-making power exercised by the actual residents of Shingal. One positive development is attention from both governments to the reconstruction and better future for a neglected and destroyed part of the country.

Does anyone remember the name of the athlete who was married and pressured to convert?

Perhaps she needs to write a book.
Anyone have contact info for Tara Sahdev? Her story needs telling.

What is seen in many of these stories is how the Muslim women family members of the perpetrators are collaborators in the conversion war.

Like #ISIS women held down #Yezidi children and young girls to be raped by jihadi men, even their husbands.

Then you would disown the book which rails agonist “kaffirs” and “polytheists” and calls them the “worst of creatures.”

Given that this is part of a religious belief and considered the “word of god” it is far more toxic and dangerous than a #CharlieHebdo cartoon.
#CharlieHebdo is a joke, it is meant for laughs.

I wish the absurd beliefs in eternal heaven and hell and “God’s only son” and “last prophet” were also taken as jokes and not taken seriously by grown men.

I’d have no problems with these then.
You can go ahead and find all the verses against kaffirs and polytheists in your book. Now imagine for a moment all those verses were against Muslims with "proper context." Would you not find these verses hateful? You need courage to examine this.

Thread. Since even before the #ISIS #Daesh genocide against #Yezidi #Yazidi #YazidiGenocide in 2014, the '@NATO member' #Turkey has been the #Jihad highway to #Syria and #Iraq .

These are items on sale in stores in Turkey for terrorist extremists like ISIS members.
It is no secret that foreign terrorists, including #ISIS but not only ISIS, use #Turkey as a gateway, with encouragement and facilitation of Turkish state + parts of Turkey's society. But it is revealing + appalling to see #ISIS clothing / literature openly on sale in the street.
For those who think these are only shirts and books, be sure that this is the tip of the iceberg that is based on destruction, murder, and sexual violence. The virtual (social media) and physical (Turkey) pathway is the door for individuals to join genocidal organizations.

1. The proposed agreement in #Syria marks the final end of the #Ezidi minority. After #Afrin was occupied by #Turkey & its Islamists mercenaries, the same will now occupy the remaining villages in Syria. The #Yezidis remaining in Syria will be forced to flee.
2. Ironically, so far about 40 #Ezidi families from #Syria have been ethnically cleansed by #Turkey/#Islamists & fled to #Shingal in #Iraq; a region where the local #Yezidi population continues to suffer the genocide crimes committed by ISIS.
3. The #Ezidis have thus been expelled from almost their entire homeland in recent centuries (#Iran, #Turkey, #Syria). Only in #Iraq does a significant community still exist, but it has been emigrating increasingly for years.

I met Shereen a few days ago as the #Yazidis mark five years since ISIL’s brutality began on #Sinjar. She tries to forget the pain, but it’s difficult because of her physical and emotional scars. ISIL fighters used her as a sex slave.
She’s among an estimated 7000 #Yezidi women and girls were taken from Sinjar province - many had to endure what Shireen went through.
"I miss my daughters so much, I would give my life if I could see them again" she says holding back tears.
She's found her sons after ISIL lost its last territory in Syria - but her two daughters are still missing.

Netherlands negotiating to bring back #Dutch female #ISIS members. @nlinkri @MinBZ @NLatUN. Does Netherlands care for justice? If so, they MUST be prosecuted. Or is #NL safe haven for those who support / commit genocide, terrorism, mass rapes and abduction?ad.nl/binnenland/ond…
Neither #NL nor other countries should be fooled by 'innocent wife' stories of female #ISIS. ISIS women among most wretched, evil perpetrators of #ISIS crimes against humanity & genocide. Not only terrorism. Shall they walk free in Europe? #Yezidi #Yazidi

Ongelofelijk dat #Nederlandse inwoners naar Syrie & Iraq afgereisd zijn en #ISIS hebben gesteund, misdaden hebben begaan & nu gewoon terug naar huis kunnen gaan alsof er niets is gebeurd. #NL wij zijn toch beter dan dit?! #oorlogsmisdaden #opsporingverzocht #genocide #Jihadibruid

#YazidiGenocide
1)Hafid Basha Mosul Governor started his campaign against Yezidis in #Ezidxan_Shingal in sommer 1837.
Their aim was to massacre Yezidis there from their roots.
Ottomans wanted a safe way for themselves between Mosul and Diyarbakir.
Cuz of religious reasons #Yezidis face Genocide.
2)the campaign was ongoing for three months,Hafid Basha followers was heading from west side of #Ezidxan_Shingal mount while Mosul governor soldiers have already settled in north side of shingal mount/solach.
The #Ezidxan_Shingal mount was surrounded by Hafid Basha followers
