ISIS Is Still Killing Yazidis

catalinacat · Oct 22, 2015

ISIS has been committing virtual genocide against the Yazidis since 2014. Women and children have been buried alive. But the president or any congressman won't address it. But let one person in Jerusalem or a Palestinian be killed and it goes viral world wide.

More than 300 Yazidi prisoners have been slaughtered by Islamic State militants near Mosul in Iraq.

According to the Yazidi Progress Party, hundreds were murdered by Isis on Friday in the Tal Afar district.

It comes after around 40,000 people were kidnapped at gunpoint when the terrorists attacked Yazidi villages last summer.

The party statement, quoted by Shafaq News, condemned the 'heinous criminal acts' committed by Isis against the Yazidis.

Meanwhile, a Yazidi lawmaker quoted a lower number of victims today, and said they were shot at a prison camp in Tal Afar.

Legislator Mahma Khalil said he spoke to four different people with knowledge of what happened inside the camp.

'The militants want to spread horror among them to force them to convert to Islam or to do something else,' he said.

Traumatized and then stigmatized...

Yazidi women, girls suffering stigma, trauma after IS kidnapping
May 3, 2016 - Nadi was just 15 when Islamic State fighters invaded her village in Sinjar, northern Iraq. She was kidnapped, along with 29 members of her extended family, all members of the Yazidi religious and ethnic group that was targeted by IS from August 2014 onward.

"They were hard days. The Daesh fighters raped us and attacked us, took our children and our women and killed our men," Nadi said, using the Arabic name for the IS group. Her full name is being withheld to protect her identity. She held back tears as she related the story of her 15 months in captivity. "They took us to Syria for a week, converted us to Islam then brought us back to Mosul. The worst torture we experienced was in Mosul. They gathered all the girls, raped them and then distributed them to senior Daesh fighters. They took the children away," she said. Nadi was handed over to a fighter called Salam Hamdu Ubaid, who regularly beat and raped her. A month later, she was pregnant. "I felt that a Daesh criminal was in my body," she said. "I tried many times to abort the fetus but that wasn't my fate."

Shortly after giving birth she managed to contact her family, who organized a smuggler to help her escape Mosul, a city in northern Iraq that has been held by IS since June 2014. Two of her brothers, their families and two sisters are still trapped in the city. Nadi was one of an estimated 5,000 Yazidi women and girls kidnapped by IS the largest single mass kidnap of women this century. Based on Yazidi officials' estimates, the United Nations has cited allegations that as many as 3,500 people remained in IS captivity as of October 2015. Human Rights Watch says IS's systematic abductions and rapes constitute war crimes, and may be crimes against humanity. While some of these women, like Nadi, managed to escape, reaching safety has not ended their suffering. The horrors have left many deeply traumatized, suffering both mental and physical reactions to their harrowing ordeals. Some could not live with their memories and have committed suicide.

Years of brutal dictatorship, followed by foreign invasion and ever more brutal sectarian violence have left millions of Iraqis psychologically scarred. The cumulative impact is of staggering proportions. More than 3 million Iraqis are internally displaced, with many having fled unimaginable violence. Syria, next door, hosts more than twice that figure. In northern Iraq, which hosts more than 1 million people who have fled from other parts of the country, there are just 17 psychologists and psychiatrists on the ground. The local government, U.N. agencies and nongovernmental organizations have set up a range of pyscho-social programs, but the need is vast. "These camps are more in need of psychological support than anything else, because of this pressure. Every family, if not half, three-quarters of them [still] are in the hands of Daesh," said Ruwaq Fadil, who runs programs on women's empowerment for a British charity, Amar.

Amar runs group sessions, clinics and social centers for women in the camps, along with courses in sewing, hairdressing and handicrafts. There also have health volunteers who visit people in their tented homes to provide psychological support and health education. "The idea is to take away the pressure they are living through in the camps," Fadil said. Yet a lack of understanding about psycho-social support, along with the stigma attached to rape in a largely conservative Yazidi society means that few Yazidi women actually access any sustained psycho-social support or mental health care, according to a recent report by Human Rights Watch.

They have suffered horribly and this hardly gets any press. Pray for blessings and comfort to them.

Rather than complain, people are free to go over there and personally stop ISIS.

ISIS committing genocide against Yazidis...

UN Syria panel: IS committing genocide against Yazidis
Jun 16,`16 -- The Islamic State group is committing genocide, crimes against humanity and other war crimes against the Yazidi community in Iraq and Syria, a U.N. panel said Thursday, calling on countries to do more to stop it and build a legal case on top of political condemnation from countries like the United States.

The Commission of Inquiry on Syria issued its first report Thursday specifically looking at IS crimes against Yazidis after the extremist group's attack on unarmed Yazidi communities in northwestern Iraq in August 2014. Many Yazidis were taken into Syria, and over 3,200 Yazidi women and children are still captive, the report said. The 41-page report, based on 45 interviews with survivors, religious leaders, activists, medical staffers and others, seeks to put allegations of rape, sexual slavery and other crimes in a wider context of crimes against humanity and genocide by alleging that such practices are part of a IS strategy to wipe out the Yazidis, whom the radicals see as infidels. "ISIS' abuse of Yazidi men, women and children amounts to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes," commission chair Paulo Pinheiro told reporters in Geneva. IS statements and conduct show the group "intended to destroy the Yazidis of Sinjar in whole or in part," he said, and "the genocide is ongoing."

Such official claims of genocide against a non-state actor are rare, if not unprecedented. Genocide has traditionally been associated with state-sponsored mass killings like in the Holocaust or in massacres in Rwanda, but the report says that the term fits when intent exists "in the perpetrator's mind" that the crimes can destroy a group partly or entirely. The U.N. estimates that some 5,000 Yazidi men were killed by IS militants when they took control of Iraq's northwest two years ago and thousands more people, mostly women and children, were taken into captivity. Most of the Yazidi population - some 400,000 people - was displaced.

While countries like the United States, at a political level, have alleged IS genocide against Yazidis, the report seeks to bolster a possible legal case against those responsible and encourage the U.N. Security Council to hand the matter to the International Criminal Court or a separate ad hoc tribunal. "We regard this as a road map for prosecution," said commission member Carla Del Ponte. "It is time now to start to obtain justice for the victims." The U.N. Security Council should "consider engaging its Chapter 7 powers" - which could authorize the use of force, the report said. In New York, French ambassador to the U.N. Francois Delattre, whose country currently holds the rotating Security Council presidency, said: "This very important report clearly shows the systematic barbarity of the terrorist group, and I'm sure that, yes, we'll discuss this in the Security Council."

UN Watch, a non-governmental group, praised the report but said the matter should be brought up before the U.N.'s Human Rights Council currently in session in Geneva, saying that it should adopt a resolution that supports the finding of genocide against IS and then send its findings to the Security Council. "Unless these minimal steps are taken, the experts' finding risks being just more words on paper, without protecting a single Yazidi man, woman, or child," UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer said in a statement.

Yes, I saw this report by the U.N. How nice of them to finally discover that. Barack has never said one word about this, he is too upset about guns and about 49 gays being murdered by a guy whom media labels a homophobe, He is not a muslim nor a terrorist, he just hated gays, got it?

The UN is basically an impotent organization. The blue helmeted "Smurfs" that were deployed as peacekeepers basically did nothing other than observe the genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority government. They will do the same with the Yazidi in Iraq.
Write their reports giving a synopsis and condemnation of the genocide and then do nothing.
