Never Forget the Past, for It Loves to Repeat Itself
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?
Iraqi Official Urges PKK Disarmament to Include Sinjar
🇬🇧🇫🇷🇮🇶🇷🇺🇦🇲🇹🇷🇳🇱🇧🇷🇪🇸🇸🇪🇩🇪🇩🇰
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.”
US Aid Cuts Leave Ezidi Survivors in Humanitarian Crisis
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.
ISIS Victims Accept Christian Aid, Not Christian Conversion
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.
The Ezidi People Deserve More Than Silence – Consequences of Cutting USAID
Earlier this year, the United States dismantled its foreign aid agency, USAID, cutting billions of dollars in humanitarian and development support in Iraq. This decision has already left some of Iraq’s most vulnerable—like the Ezidi people of Sinjar—at risk of losing critical services essential to their survival and recovery.

TAJÊ Clama por Reconhecimento e Justiça para 19 Mulheres Ezidis Queimadas
O Comitê Diplomático do Movimento das Mulheres Livres Ezidis (TAJÊ) lançou um apelo urgente ao Presidente do Iraque e a importantes organismos internacionais, pedindo a identificação de 19 mulheres ezidis queimadas vivas pelo ISIS em Mossul, em 2016. O movimento também exige que essa atrocidade seja oficialmente reconhecida como um ato de feminicídio.
TAJÊ fordert Anerkennung und Gerechtigkeit für 19 verbrannte ezidische Frauen
Das diplomatische Komitee der Ezidischen Bewegung Freier Frauen (TAJÊ) hat einen dringenden Appell an den irakischen Präsidenten und zentrale internationale Organisationen gerichtet. Es fordert die Identifizierung von 19 ezidischen Frauen, die 2016 in Mossul von ISIS bei lebendigem Leib verbrannt wurden. Zudem verlangt die Bewegung, dass dieses Verbrechen offiziell als Femizid anerkannt wird.
TAJÊ призывает к признанию и справедливости для 19 сожжённых заживо езидских женщин
Дипломатический комитет Движения свободных езидских женщин (TAJÊ) направил срочное обращение к президенту Ирака и ключевым международным организациям с требованием установить личности 19 женщин-езидок, сожжённых заживо боевиками ИГИЛ в Мосуле в 2016 году. Движение также настаивает на официальном признании этого преступления как акта феминицида.
The Shared Struggles of Ancient Peoples
Ezidis can learn the vital importance of preserving their sacred faith of Sharfadin. Justice and recognition require courage and unity—not just from within the Ezidi people but also through building solidarity with other ancient peoples facing similar struggles. Though the wounds run deep, hope remains in the power of cultural survival and the determination to secure a future where the Ezidis’ dignity, heritage, and rights are fully respected and protected.
Zara: The Ungrateful Child of Ezdixan
Zara’s recent actions expose not just a troubling detachment from her Ezidi heritage, but a blatant disregard for the dignity and struggle of the people to whom she owes her very identity. In an era where the Ezidi people are still recovering from genocide and fighting for recognition, Zara has chosen not to stand with them, but to turn her back entirely—trading ancestral truth for political relevance and shallow applause. Her repeated shifts in self-identification—from Armenian to Russian, and now opportunistically Kurdish—suggest not evolution, but erasure. Even worse, her public alliance with individuals who have openly blasphemed the sacred tenets of the Sharfadin faith crosses a moral line. This is not neutrality—it is betrayal.

My Ethnicity is Ezidi
While many peoples throughout history have formed, merged, created languages and religions, and then gradually dissolved into larger populations and states, the Ezidis remained loyal to their traditions and faith, preserving their identity.
They Turned Us Into the Enemy of Our Own Children
Since the 2014 genocidal ISIS attack, the Ezidi people still face a devastating and existential crisis. Most of the focus has been directed towards the atrocities committed against the women, and unfortunately, the fate of the abducted Ezidi boys is rarely discussed. It is unclear why this horrendous part of the genocide campaign receives so little attention. Perhaps no one knows they are still alive. But one fact remains: these Ezidi boys have come to hate us — the Ezidis — because ISIS has indoctrinated them to do so.
