Sabbah Ali Oruç, an ISIS-linked defendant facing up to 18 years in prison over the trafficking of an Ezidi girl rescued in Ankara in 2021, has reportedly left Turkey with his family while being tried without detention.
Ezidi striker Deniz Undav has signed a long-term contract extension with VfB Stuttgart, keeping him at the Bundesliga club until 2029 with an option for one further year.
The situation in Shingal shows that return remains impossible for many Ezidis despite signs of reconstruction, as insecurity, destroyed homes, political uncertainty and lack of rights continue to shape life after genocide.
A Melbourne court has heard new allegations against Zeinab Ahmad, an ISIS-linked Australian woman charged with crimes against humanity over the alleged enslavement of an Ezidi teenager in Syria.
The dispute over the planned solar power plant near Bacînê is no longer an isolated case. Ezidi and Christian villages in Tur Abdin are warning that energy projects are being advanced in historic village areas without meaningful consent, threatening land, return, agriculture and cultural heritage.
