Nearly 300 long-forgotten photographs of the Ezidi people, taken in northern Iraq during the 1930s, have been rediscovered in an American museum archive. The images, showing weddings, shrines, and daily life, offer a rare glimpse into Ezidi heritage nearly erased by ISIS, and are now being shared with Ezidis in Iraq and across the diaspora.

Humanity walks through history carrying the ashes of its own crimes. Every stone laid at memorials like Tsitsernakaberd whispers of lives extinguished and of promises broken — never again, we say, yet again and again, we fail. As the eternal flame burns for the Armenians of 1915, it casts a shadow that reaches Sinjar, where the Ezidi people still suffer the consequences of the genocide ISIS unleashed in 2014. Eleven years later, the wounds remain unhealed, deepened by betrayal, neglect, and cynical politics. How many more memorials must we build before we finally understand that remembrance is not enough — justice and protection must follow, or the cycle will never end?
Two former Ezidi women enslaved by ISIS expose the dark past of Syria’s interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, warning the West not to trust a man who once walked among jihadi commanders and presided over unspeakable horrors. Their testimony challenges the narrative of reform and calls for vigilance against repeating history.

An Iraqi military official emphasized that the PKK disarmament process should include Sinjar, where armed groups loyal to the PKK remain active. The official stressed that these groups must be part of any agreement. The PKK began destroying weapons in May, a move welcomed by Turkey as “a new era.”
The abrupt suspension of US aid to Iraq has left thousands of Ezidi genocide survivors stranded in displacement camps, stripped of vital mental health, protection, and humanitarian services.
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.
Anfang dieses Jahres demontierten die Vereinigten Staaten ihre Auslandsentwicklungsbehörde USAID und strichen Milliarden an humanitärer und entwicklungsbezogener Unterstützung im Irak. Diese Entscheidung hat bereits einige der verletzlichsten Gruppen im Irak – wie das ezidische Volk in Sindschar – dem Risiko ausgesetzt, lebenswichtige Dienste zu verlieren, die für ihr Überleben und ihren Wiederaufbau unverzichtbar sind.
