11 years on, the pain of the #YezidiGenocide remains. Thousands still live in displacement camps, and around 2,600 Yezidis are still missing. For us, the genocide did not end in 2014. Justice and action to rescue the missing cannot wait #StillMissing #NeverForget

Many in the Western media are portraying Shamima Begum, a former "ISIS bride," not only as a victim but as a celebrity. ISIS brides were complicit in ISIS's genocide and crimes against humanity. ISIS murdered thousands of people, and forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands,

Important for #Yezidi #Yazidi too, and many others. The USA and Europe are racing to embrace new government in #Syria but must not ignore key elements of governance, rule of law, and human rights. Skepticism and caution in embracing a former Jihadist leader is warranted.

@murad_ismael Having an uncompromised advocate for Yezidis in #Iraqi Parliament is a great step forward for our community. It also should show the younger Yezidi generation that change is possible. Congratulations to @murad_ismael and @YazidiCause .

Over the last 11 years, @murad_ismael has sacrificed a lot for the well-being of our community and advancing Yezidi rights. Advocates must persevere through frustration, sadness, and many obstacles. We are sure Murad will be a great MP for Yezidis.

As an NGO, we refrain from endorsing political candidates and campaigns. Now that the #Iraq election is over, we are very happy to congratulate the entire Yezidi list for advocating for #Yezidi #Yazidi people, and to our friend @murad_ismael , new Member of Iraq's Parliament.

Following the @YezidiGenocide in 2014, many Yezidi religious practices remained suspended for years. In 2018, the Jama Feast and other traditions returned, carrying with them a powerful message of resilience and continuity.

Alarming story from France. Solidarity with our Assyrian friends, who have also suffered in #Iraq and #Syria
A 45 year old, wheelchair-bound Assyrian man from Iraq named Ashur Sarnaya was on TikTok Live and talking about Christianity on his way home in Lyon, France, when an Islamist slit his throat with a machete outside his apartment block yesterday. Not sharing the video. No words.
