I re-share my piece "Tears of Şingal (Sinjar)" in memory of the #Yazidi Genocide "August 3, 2014".

Tîrêj Şengal, Commander of the #Yazidi Protection Units #YBŞ:
📢 "At that time, when the #ISIS gangs took over all the areas around Shengal one after another, we still did not believe that we could be next. Because we were surrounded by a massive army of Peshmergas and even Iraqi soldiers. And we trusted them. They used to tell us: 'We will protect you'. But unfortunately, they fled when the attacks started."
🌹 Today marks the 9th anniversary of the #Yazidi #genocide in #Shengal
➡️ On August 3, 2014, the #IslamicState killed, beheaded, raped & kidnapped 1000s of Yazidis
➡️ #ISIS abducted thousands of Yazidi girls & women & sold them at slave markets
“Heute jährt sich der Genozid des IS an der ezidischen Bevölkerung zum 8. mal & ja, die Anerkennung des Genozids im deutschen Bundestag ist ein erster Schritt, er darf uns aber nie von der wirklichen Forderung der Ezid*innen ablenken: Selbstverwaltung 1/ #RecognizeYazidiGenocide”
