Às vésperas das eleições parlamentares do Iraque, os Ezidis buscam uma representação genuína após anos de deslocamento e marginalização. Com a formação da Aliança da Causa Ezidi, candidatos de Shingal e Duhok tentam transformar a luta por sobrevivência e dignidade em voz política dentro do parlamento iraquiano.
A medida que Irak se prepara para las elecciones parlamentarias del 11 de noviembre, la comunidad ezidí exige una representación auténtica tras años de desplazamiento y marginación. Con la creación de la Alianza por la Causa Ezidí, los candidatos buscan superar los límites del escaño de cuota y construir una voz política independiente que refleje la voluntad y la dignidad del pueblo ezidí.
Alors que les élections parlementaires approchent en Irak, les Ezidis revendiquent une représentation réelle et élargie. Au-delà du siège quota, l’Alliance de la Cause Ezidie cherche à unifier les voix Ezidies pour défendre leur survie, dignité et droit à l’autodétermination, tout en réclamant justice et reconstruction de Shingal.
After years of displacement and political neglect, the Ezidi people are demanding genuine representation. With the Ezidi Cause Alliance uniting candidates across the country, this election marks a defining moment to reclaim their voice, rebuild Shingal, and ensure that Ezidis — not outside powers — shape their own future.
More than a decade after ISIS destroyed Shingal, Germany is urging Iraq to speed up reconstruction of the Ezidi homeland. Despite new laws and aid projects, most Ezidis remain displaced, and rebuilding has stalled amid political tensions and insecurity.
The documentary “Hawar, Our Banished Children” exposes the hidden trauma of Ezidi women raped by ISIS, who now search for the children born from these assaults. With 3,000 women still missing, the film highlights ongoing genocide, the rejection of these children by the Ezidi people, and the first European trials of jihadists for these crimes.
Tens of thousands of displaced Ezidis remain in Duhok camps as attempts to return to Shengal are stalled by destroyed homes, lack of services, and security instability.
As the Mosul Dam reservoir recedes to its lowest levels in nearly a century, archaeologists are uncovering not only 2,300-year-old Hellenistic tombs but also traces of Ezidi heritage once submerged beneath the Tigris. In recent years, a long-hidden Ezidi village, a 1961 tomb, and even a school in Hanke have resurfaced, reminding the world that Ezidi history in northern Mesopotamia — tied to the faith of Sharfadin — cannot be erased by dams, drought, or displacement.
Dans sa nouvelle chanson « SISTER », Diana Kalashova livre un hommage intime à sa sœur, à sa famille et à ses racines Ézidies. Chantée en ezdiki et coécrite avec plusieurs membres de sa famille, cette œuvre émotive incarne l’amour fraternel, la mémoire intergénérationnelle et la richesse culturelle du peuple Ézidi. Dans une interview exclusive avec Ezidi Times, Diana dévoile les coulisses du processus créatif et l’importance de rester fidèle à ses origines à travers la musique.
In a significant step toward holding perpetrators accountable, an Iraqi court has sentenced a former ISIS member to death for his involvement in the kidnapping of Ezidis during the 2014 genocide in Sinjar. The individual was found guilty of participating in the armed attacks and mass abductions that targeted the Ezidi people in northwestern Iraq.
On 30 June 2025, the months-long Hamburg event series “Ten years after the genocide against the Ezidis | Remembering – Coming to terms – Consequences” came to a close. Since August 2024, Women for Justice e. V., Interkulturelle Werkstatt e. V., and the Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Hamburg had organised a diverse programme to mark Read more
The death of Pope Francis closes a deeply human chapter in the history of the Church. For the Ezidis, he will be remembered as a moral ally who gave voice to their suffering and stood with them on the international stage.
Having more educated and well-established individuals benefits all Ezidis (mlete Ezdia) across the world. With more empowered Ezidis, we stand a better chance of protecting ourselves, having our voices heard internationally, and perhaps even achieving our collective dream of rebuilding our ancestral homeland, Ezdixan. But we cannot achieve this by relying solely on men. We need both male and female Ezidis who are educated, respected, and hold high-level positions. That is the path to true success and prosperity. Forcing girls into early marriages solely to bear children—children who, due to a lack of access to proper education and career development, are unlikely to become strong contributors to our society—while expecting men to shoulder all the burden, is naïve. Just look at any successful nation: observe how their women equally contribute to solving collective problems. See how strong and prosperous those societies are.
Prostitution politique et historique entre l’Arménie et les kurdes – Erbil’s Armenian Consulate Marks Anniversary; Celebrates Armenian-Kurdish Relations dans la région du gouvernement régional kurde (KRG). Le consulat et le KRG ont parrainé une exposition censée présenter des « documents historiques et des photographies des communautés kurdes et minoritaires vivant en Arménie ». Là encore, cela pourrait sembler être une cérémonie et un anniversaire innocents. Cependant, Ezidi Times a examiné de plus près ce que cette exposition présentait, et a été choqué de découvrir que ces « documents historiques et photographies des communautés kurdes et minoritaires » concernaient en réalité les ezidis et les assyriens. Les rares documents étiquetés comme « kurdes » étaient en fait des documents et des photos ezidis, falsifiés ou étiquetés à tort comme « kurdes ».
Political and Historical Prostitution Between Armenia and the Kurds – Ezidi Times looked deeper into what exactly this exhibition showcased and was shocked to find that those “historical documents and photographs of Kurdish and minority communities” were materials related to the Ezidis and Assyrians. The few materials that were labelled as “Kurdish” were actually Ezidi documents and photographs, which had been fabricated or wrongly labelled as “Kurdish.”
Ezidis who fled Turkey’s Batman province in the 1990s due to conflict are facing new obstacles as they attempt to reclaim their ancestral land. Despite court rulings in their favor, their property in Kuşçukuru (Kelhok) village has yet to be returned.
