Today six years ago, the Yazidi genocide began.
As I travelled through Iraq and Syria, I saw with my own eyes the result of this ISIS terror.
Engraved in my memory is the eight yr old Yazidi girl who had been enslaved by ISIS since she was five. 😢

يتذكر العالم اليوم الإبادة الجماعية التي حصلت قبل 6 سنوات ضد الأيزيديين.
رأيت بأم عيني ما فعله ارهاب داعش بالأيزيديين أثناء تواجدي في العراق وسوريا.
محفورة في ذاكرتي قصة الفتاة الأيزيدية البالغة من العمر 8 سنوات التي استعبدها
داعش منذ كانت في الخامسة.

3 yrs ago, I interviewed ISIS women in Syria who just got out of Raqqa.
Back then I posted this long thread in English about what ISIS women told me about slavery, Yazdis etc.
I think it's useful to read this thread today - 6 yrs after Yazidi genocide.

Crazy thing is that over the years there has been much more international attention for the "difficult situation" of captured ISIS women and men in NE-Syria than for the Yazidi genocide. 🤔
I'm working on a tv documentary on Yazidis, out later this year.
