Tomorrow is the 11th anniversary of Yazidi Genocide. 🧵thread 
August 3rd, 2014.
ISIS attacked our people in Shingal/Iraq just because of our religion.
Thousands were killed.
This is not history. This is still our pain.
Please read, share, and remember.

Men and boys were executed in cold blood.
Women and girls were kidnapped.
Mass graves still cover the land.
Many bodies were never found.
Many families still don’t know where their loved ones are.

Over 6,000 Yazidi women and children were taken as sex slaves.
They were sold in markets like animals.
Raped, beaten, and brainwashed.
Some victims were just little girls — 8, 9, 10 years old.
This was not war. This was pure evil.

Those who returned found nothing.
Homes were burned, villages destroyed.
There is still no electricity, no clean water, no hospitals in Sinjar.
No protection. No real government.
Our homeland is broken.

Over 200,000 Yazidis are still living in displacement camps.
Most live in tents — boiling in summer, freezing in winter.
Some children have spent their whole lives there.
They’ve never known what “home” means.

Thousands are still missing.
Some may still be in captivity.
Others are in unmarked graves.
Mothers and fathers wake up every day not knowing if their child is alive or dead.
This pain never ends.

Where is justice?
Most ISIS leaders who planned the genocide were never punished.
The world moved on.
But we’re still here — broken, grieving, and unheard.

Shingal is still unsafe.
Many armed groups control it.
There is no real peace.
Yazidis are afraid to return.
How can we rebuild when we live in fear?

The Yazidi people have survived 74 genocides.
We are not weak — but we are tired.
We deserve more than survival.
We deserve justice, dignity, and a future without fear.

To my international friends:
Please don’t stay silent.
Please speak up for the Yazidis.
Share our story.
Let the world know:
We remember. We bleed. We are still waiting.
