#Shengal was a well prepared #genocide
➡️ Before the massacre, the Kurdistan Democratic Party #KDP seized all the weapons of the Yazidis
➡️ When #ISIS approached, KDP’s Peshmerga forces withdrew & even took some of the PKK guerillas into custody who came to rescue the #Yazidis
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."
Attached: 1 video Here's a video, by the way, showing the so-called "Peshmerga" (="those who face death", which they didn't, so "so-called") associated with the party of public Erdoğan-collaboration, KDP, which through corruption and repression dominates the "Kurdistan Regional Government" (KRG) that runs the federal state "Kurdistan Region of Iraq" (KRI), when they ran to leave Sinjar/Şengal before ISIL/Daesh had even started arriving, leaving the locals to be subjected to the Yazidi/Êzidî Genocide. When the supposed official defence against the worst imaginable clearly doesn't exist in practice, self-defence (YBŞ/YJÊ) is the only realistic option.
