7 years ago, the Yazidis experienced genocide in their homeland Sinjar at the hands of ISIS. The international community should recognize this genocide without further delay. Those who committed and enabled the genocide must be brought to justice! #RecognizeYazidiGenocide
3/8/2014, ISIS attacked the Yazidis in Şengal, northern Iraq, displacing 300,000 people, killing thousands of victims or their families, and destroying their villages. Since then, most of the displaced have been forced to stay in refugee camps in Kurdistan

USCIRF @CommrBhargava: "As we honor & commemorate the lives #ISIS destroyed...USCIRF encourages the US govt & intl community to continue to support the #Yazidi community & ensure that women & girls abducted by ISIS can reunite with their families." (1/2) https://t.co/T5SRF504Hj
Our clothes were dirty after we crossed the desert between us and Syria, then after we crossed Syria we reached this crossing that connects Syria with Iraq called Faysh khabur. We were forced to cross this distance because this was the only way for us to escape from ISIS.
#Yazidi
The ISIS terrorist organization killed thousands of Yazidis. They sold thousands of women and children in slave markets. The world watched this genocide.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of this genocide.

This week we remember the 7th anniversary of the Yazidi Genocide, committed by ISIS, which is commemorated on the 3rd of August every year.

It is like no one spared from Yazidi community in this genocide. Just met with a Yazidi worker in Baghdad who is not from Sinjar; his sister was in Sinjar, 3 of her sons were killed by ISIS & her daughters were taken as captives. I asked him how his sister doing, he said not OK.
Why do ISIS criminals still walk free while my sisters-in-law & nephew are held captive? After seven years, the Yazidi Community deserves justice & support to recover from ISIS’ genocide. Read more about the genocide’s 7th anniversary here. https://t.co/dEidCAMFDt

#الابادة_الايزيدية
ابادة ارتكبت على أيدي د١عش و لا زالت ترتكب من قبل الحكومات المتعاقبة التي خذلت القضية،
و من قبل المليشيات المسلحة التي تمنع بذل أيّ جهود حقيقية لاستعادة المدينة حياتها الطبيعة، وتتعمد تنفيذ أجندات إقليمية.
Today is the 7th anniversary of the #YazidiGenocide carried out by ISIS in northern Iraq.
Revisit @BIRN_BTJ's story about the survivors seeking justice, who want the international community to get involved, as it did in Bosnia and Herzegovina:

It's really disappointing most people probably aren't aware that there hasn't been local elections in Sinjar since 2003. So we have a situation where the residents of Sinjar or the city community, they don't have a say in their own future.
