Survivor Stories: Farhad Ali – An Advocate for the Rights of the Ezidis

When IS attacked the Ezidis and when many were forced to seek refugee in the Sinjar mountains, some effort were made to support and assist them. According to Farhad, the distribution of assistance was perhaps not optimal but it was at least something, considering that they had just survived a genocidal attack(s). However, due to the war between Ukraine-Russia and the situation in Palestine-Israel, the Ezidi genocide and all issues related to the Ezidis have been forgotten. Farhad explains that “Our people continue to suffer, and the effects of the genocide are still ongoing”, yet the suffering of the Ezidis has been overshadowed by other global issues that are of bigger political interest for the global powers.

The Hidden Faces of Evil

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.
