'Atrocities will affect future generations'

The United Nations reveals a “shocking” outcome of the displaced Yazidi survivors of ISIS in Iraq

2022.08.04 - 19:39

 

Baghdad - people  

The United Nations said Thursday that more than 200,000 survivors of the massacres committed by ISIS against the Yazidis eight years ago are still displaced across Iraq .  

 

  

The International Organization for Migration stated in a statement (August 4, 2022), that "the needs of the displaced, some of whom live in camps, are still high."  

  

"This forces families to focus on meeting their basic needs rather than rebuilding their lives," the International Organization for Migration said.  

  

According to the UN organization, "ISIS destroyed about 80% of the public infrastructure and 70% of civilian housing in and around Sinjar city, in addition to the natural resources in the area, destroyed irrigation canals and wells, and stole or destroyed agricultural equipment and agricultural land."  

  

A United Nations special investigation team announced in May 2021 that it had obtained "clear and convincing evidence" that ISIS elements had committed genocide against the Yazidis.  

  

More than 2,700 people are still missing, including people kidnapped by ISIS, according to the International Organization for Migration.  

  

"The scale of the atrocities committed against the Yazidi community will affect future generations," said Sandra Orlovitch, an official of the International Organization for Migration in Iraq.  

  

"The Iraqi government and the international community must create conditions that guarantee the Yazidis that these atrocities will not be repeated, and help them rebuild their lives," she stressed in a statement.  

[Theseus]

More Christians other Christians in the world just plain ignored and forgot about long ago. How many others are out there like the Yazidi Christians that Christians ignore their existence? Ah it's good to be  a Christian believing in a faith standardized by man so man can become rich off of other men. Man's magical sky fairy is going to solve all.

In the first moments of the parliament's resumption of its sessions.  

  

And he stated, "The Kurdistan Workers' Party, which controls Sinjar, is a major part of this genocide, through its practices it practices against the Yazidis, including killing, kidnapping and imprisonment, which requires the Iraqi government to find a solution to this matter, because the presence of this party means the continuation of a large part of the Yazidis." Extermination and its annihilation means ending a large part of the genocide."  

  

He explained that "this step will be followed by other steps, including insisting on the implementation of the Sinjar Agreement and the normalization of living, security and service conditions inside Sinjar to make it an attractive environment for its displaced people and not expelling them as it is now."  

  

He stressed, "This appeal and denunciation will be sent in official letters to the Iraqi government, the United Nations and its humanitarian organizations, to find a viable solution to stop this genocide against the Yazidis."
