Are the Yazidis being targeted for genocide once again?Will Iraq, which abandoned Sinjar to ISIS gangs in 2014, leave the Yazidi community vulnerable to genocidal attacks again, or will it grant the Yazidi community their fundamental rights, especially the right to self-defense? We will see this in the coming days.
The plight of Shengal and the Yazidi community, who suffered a horrific massacre in 2014, is back on the agenda. The memory of the massacre remains vivid both within the Yazidi community and in public opinion, and everyone sees and feels that in this process of redesigning the region, the Yazidis may face the threat of a new massacre.
Just as the meeting held in Amman, the capital of Jordan, in June 2014 led to the deployment of ISIS and the attempt to reshape the region with great brutality, similar meetings and agreements are once again on the agenda; the Syrian theater has been handed over to HTS, and intervention plans targeting Iraq and Iran are on the agenda. In this process, the situation of Sinjar and the Yazidi community is at a very delicate and critical level.
Current developments are undoubtedly linked to regional developments. The plans and schemes targeting Rojava, described as the "Second February 15th Conspiracy," and the genocidal attempts are continuing in the Sinjar area. Therefore, the situation in Sinjar is not local or temporary; it represents the initial stage of a strategic program based on regional plans.
<THE AIM IS TO LEAVE THE PEOPLE OF SHENGAL DEFENSELESS.As reported in the press, the Iraqi army's activity in the Sinjar area has significantly increased, particularly following statements by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. While this activity is partly driven by the need to protect the Syrian-Iraqi border, it essentially reveals a military position that completely encircles Sinjar.
Attempting to establish new military checkpoints in the interior of Sinjar and launching a disarmament campaign in Sinjar at a time when the threats to Sinjar are increasing is certainly not about protecting Sinjar and the Yazidi community; on the contrary, it is about leaving the people of Sinjar defenseless.
Indeed, the people of Sinjar, having seen this policy and the dangers it poses, have stated that they will not surrender their self-defense to anyone.
