Il est absurde, ignorant, et signe d’un QI très bas de penser que l’on peut déterminer l’identité ethnique d’un peuple sur la base de préjugés politiques. Un Êzîde s’identifie par son identité ethnique, religieuse, culturelle et linguistique.
It is bizarre, uneducated, and a sign of very low IQ if people think they can decide the ethnic identity of a group based on political bias. An Ezidi is identified through their ethnic, religious, cultural, and linguistic identity.
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.
In a landmark step toward long-overdue justice, over 15,000 Ezidis living in 11 settlements near Sinjar (Shingal) in Nineveh Province have begun receiving official title deeds to their homes.

Many Ezidis remain unable to return to their homeland in Sinjar due to ongoing insecurity, political tensions, and the destruction left behind. Thousands continue to live in camps with limited access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Even those who have managed to return face immense hardships, with homes in ruins, infrastructure in poor condition, and economic instability making survival difficult. Justice remains elusive, as many perpetrators of the genocide are still free, and international attention has largely faded, leaving survivors feeling abandoned.
Mayada was only 11 when ISIS stormed her village, tearing her from her family and selling her into slavery. For three years, she endured relentless abuse, passed from one captor to another like a commodity. Yet, despite the horror, she never lost hope. After five failed escape attempts, she finally broke free, navigating landmine-ridden terrain to reach safety. Now, years later, she is not just a survivor—she is a voice for justice, determined to fight for those still in captivity.

Le 17 décembre 2024, le Conseil national suisse a officiellement reconnu les atrocités de masse commises contre le peuple Ezidi par l’État islamique (EI) en 2014 comme un génocide. Dans une décision historique, le législatif suisse a condamné la campagne systématique de violence, y compris les meurtres de masse, les violences sexuelles, les déplacements forcés et la destruction du patrimoine culturel, perpétrée par le groupe terroriste dans le nord de l’Irak.
The resolution specifically addressed the horrific events of August 3, 2014, when the IS launched a large-scale assault on Ezidi-populated areas.

The fate of approximately 2,600 women and children remains unknown. The United Nations had already classified these atrocities as genocide in 2016, but the Swiss Parliament’s formal recognition represents a significant political and moral statement.

While international recognition has been given, Australian perpetrators remain unprosecuted, with many demanding these crimes be handled by Australia’s justice system.
