Senior Iraqi parliamentary leaders marked the Ezidi New Year with official messages of congratulations, while also stressing justice for victims, the protection of Ezidi rights, support for return and reconstruction, and the importance of peaceful coexistence in Iraq.
The Ezidi people endured brutal attacks in 2014 when ISIS forcibly displaced them from their ancestral homeland in northern Iraq, killing and enslaving thousands. ISIS falsely accused the Ezidis—whose ancient religion, Sharfadin, has roots in Mesopotamia—of worshipping Satan. After the military defeat of ISIS, many Ezidis remained in United Nations camps for internally displaced persons, relying heavily on humanitarian assistance.
