Germany urged to reverse Yazidi family's removal to Iraq p.dw.com/p/4y3V5?maca=e…
Europe deports Yazidis who escape genocide and jihadi movement is flourishing there. I went to Birmingham, Paris & suburbs of Brussels and I felt I was walking in Jihad paradise.
Why is Germany deporting YEZIDI families? Of all people to deport, this makes the least sense. Even more disturbing, it was against a German court order. While we respect European countries' policies, humane treatment of Yezidi Genocide survivors is fair. infomigrants.net/en/post/65986/…
German government: Iraq is safe and deporting Yezidi #genocide survivors is justified, because they can go back to their rebuild houses and villages. Reality:
Deporting Yezidi #genocide survivors back to Iraq is not just a policy failure, it is a moral catastrophe. It is similar to deporting #Holocaust survivors back to the lands where their families and friends were brutally genocided.
In a meeting with U.S. Congressman @RepAbeHamadeh , we shared the current situation of the Yazidi community, 11 years after the genocide, and conveyed our community’s key demands. #United @SinjarAcademy/@Free_Yezidi / @YazdaOrg

"More than half of the Yezidis remain displaced in IDP camps, about 15 IDP camps, under very horrible conditions,” explains @SinjarAcademy's @murad_ismael. “The United States and the West, the key allies of the Yezidis, have dropped their support significantly over the past…
Its been 11 since ISIS launched a genocide targeting the Yezidi community in Iraq, and still, over 2,500 Yezidis remain missing. @Free_Yezidi’s Pari Ibrahim and @murad_ismael explain why actors must reaffirm their commitment to Yezidi recovery. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/menasour…
Is the West unaware of the autorcities facing the Yezidi community in Iraq, asks a Yezidi genocide survivor at our #ACIraq event. “Without those long term transformations, we're going to find ourselves back at square one,” explains @USCIRF's Kurt Werthmuller. “If it ever…
FYF was pleased to cohost a Yezidi Genocide commemoration event with the @AtlanticCouncil @ACMideast today. The event was live-streamed and an article is available on the Atlantic Council website.
"I look at the Iraqi government. I look at the Kurdish government. What can they do for our community to ensure that it doesn't happen again,” explains @Free_Yezidi’s Pari Ibrahim. "It's very clear that justice is lacking,” she adds. Watch more: ➡️ bit.ly/44Ni0W7
Looking forward to moderating this important @AtlanticCouncil/@Free_Yezidi conversation on the Yezidi genocide and the road to recovery. Tune in at 1pm ET: atlanticcouncil.org/event/eleven-y…
The Yezidi community will continue to build its efforts to advocate for recovery and a brighter future with stakeholders in key capitals around the world, including Washington and elsewhere, to ensure the atrocities are never repeated and help Yezidis live safely in Iraq.
