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.

Un vidéo choquante a fait surface, révélant une prison souterraine dans le nord de la Syrie où l’ISIS détenait des femmes ezidies en captivité. Sky News a diffusé des images de cette prison cachée, marquée uniquement par de petites capsules en fer et de minuscules trous permettant à un peu de lumière du soleil de pénétrer dans l’obscurité en dessous.
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. During this attack, the terrorist group killed over 5,000 Ezidi men and women, abducted approximately 7,000 people, and subjected countless others to sexual slavery and forced conversions. 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.
