1) Two+ weeks of violence in #Shingal—following the Iraqi army mobilizing to force-implement the Sinjar Agreement—recently ended. Time for a THREAD on the reasons why the #Sinjar Agreement was unworkable from its inception, and why its implementation will harm the #Yazidi people.
2) Recap—In the past month: Masrour visited Erdogan; Turkey then subsequently launched a new anti-PKK campaign in Iraq ; Kadhimi simultaneously ordered the Iraqi army to mobilize against the #YBŞ, which produced two weeks of hostilities; thousands of #Yazidis were displaced; >
3) Iraq imprisoned two foreign journalists visiting Sinjar; Iran-aligned militias shelled the Turkish military base near Ba‘shiqa & Erbil-based oil installations; Kadhimi appointed Nineveh’s governor as acting head of Sinjar District and then reversed the appointment.

In der jesidischen Şengal-Region im Nordirak herrscht zum ersten Mal seit der Befreiung vom IS wieder Krieg. Diejenigen, die die Bevölkerung 2014 nicht vor dem IS schützen konnten, greifen an. Es ist furchtbar und inakzeptabel.

Ein Thread zu den Hintergründen der Region:

Die irakische Armee greift seit gestern mit starken Einheiten, schweren Waffen und gepanzerten Fahrzeugen an. Tausende sind auf der Flucht.

Im August 2014 griff der IS die Stadt und Region Şengal an. Zuvor waren die eingesetzten kurdischen Peschmerga und Einheiten der irakischen. Armee geflohen und ließen die Zivilbevölkerung ungeschützt zurück.
