The Êzidxan Youth Union and the Şengal Young Women’s Union celebrated the 9th anniversary of the liberation of Şengal (Sinjar) with a torchlight march. This event commemorated the region’s liberation from ISIS control on November 13, 2015, following a brutal edict against the Êzidi people in August 2014. The liberation was achieved through the efforts of regional fighters, including the Yekîneyên Berxwedana Şengalê (YBŞ) and Yekinêyen Jinên Êzîdxan (YJŞ) forces.
The march, which started in Kolika village and ended at the Martyr Dilgeş and Martyr Berxwedan Cemetery, symbolized the enduring strength and resilience of the Ezidi people.
A speech was held in which the martyrs who fought for the region’s freedom were honoured and the importance of safeguarding the autonomy and achievements of the Ezidi people was emphasised. The event reaffirmed the Ezidi people’s commitment to build a free, safe and independent Şengal.
