Recently the news about the ISIS leader “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi” surfaced on the internet, after his wives and daughter gave an interview on Al-Arabiya. Al-Baghdadi has allegedly been killed in a US operation in northwestern Syria in 2019, however, during his time as an IS fighter, he has held more than 10 Ezidi children and women as slaves in his household. According to the narratives of the wives and his daughter; the Ezidi girls and women were treated “well”. This is a concerning statement which Ezidi Times finds crucial to address.
The plight of the Ezidis, who suffered horrific atrocities at the hands of the Islamic State (IS), underscores the critical importance of the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Daesh (UNITAD) in seeking justice where the Iraqi government has failed to act. UNITAD’s mission to Read more…
Newroz, en ældgammel tradition, der betyder “Ny Dag,” har en dyb kulturel og historisk betydning for millioner af mennesker verden over. Oprindeligt som nytårsaften-fejring for forskellige indo-iranske samfund, fungerer Newroz som et vidnesbyrd om den rige menneskelige arv og den vedvarende ånd af fornyelse. Men indenfor den komplekse struktur af Ezidi-religionen ‘Sharfadin’, en distinkt religiøs og etnisk minoritet, afslører fejring af Newroz lag af kompleksitet, der berører spørgsmål om identitet, tradition og politisk manipulation.
Newroz, a time-honored tradition signifying “New Day,” holds profound cultural and historical significance for millions of individuals across the globe. Originating as the New Year’s Eve celebration for various Indo-Iranian communities, Newroz serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of human heritage and the enduring spirit of renewal.

In marts 2021 tog det irakiske parlament et vigtigt skridt fremad ved at vedtage en lov, der anerkender de forbrydelser, der blev begået af ISIS mod Ezidi, kristne og shiitiske minoritetsgrupper som folkedrab og forbrydelser mod menneskeheden. Yazidi Female Survivors Law, der blev til som følge af denne anerkendelse, sigter mod at give både økonomisk og moralsk kompensation til overlevere samtidig med at lette deres rehabilitering og pleje. Loven omfatter forskellige former for støtte, herunder månedlige betalinger, medicinsk og psykologisk pleje, tildeling af boliggrunde, uddannelsesmuligheder og prioriteret adgang til beskæftigelse i den offentlige sektor.

I år i august vil det være 10 år siden, at IS angreb Sinjar, begik grusomme forbrydelser og tvang flere hundrede tusinde Ezidier til at forlade deres forfædres land. Indtil i dag rapporteres det, at mellem 100.000 og 200.000 Ezidier bor i internflygtningelejre over hele Mellemøsten. Det irakiske repræsentantråd har vedtaget Yezidi Survivors Law (YSL), som havde til formål at bringe retfærdighed til Ezidierne, men også til Turkmenerne, Kristne og Shabaks. Alligevel er ingen irakisk domstol endnu blevet dømt for at begå folkedrab mod Ezidi-folket. På trods af dette er der håb blandt Ezidierne, der bor i internflygtningelejre, om at vende hjem til Sinjar.
This year in August it will be 10 years since the IS attacked Sinjar, committed heinous crimes, and forced several hundred thousand Ezidis to leave their ancestral land. To this day it’s reported that between 100 000 to 200 000 Ezidis live in IDP camps across the Middle East. The Iraqi Council of Representatives has adopted the Yezidi Survivors Law (YSL) which was aimed to bring justice to Ezidis but also Turkmen, Christians and Shabaks. Yet, to this day, no Iraqi court has sentenced anyone for committing genocide against the Ezidi people. Despite this, there are hopes among the Ezidi people, living in IDP camps, to return home to Sinjar.
