Assessment Report on the Humanitarian Situation in Sinjar District Center After Liberation Prepared by EADE Engineering Association for Development and Environment (EADE) [email protected] Iraq-009647701614471 Jordan-00962796216727 Assessment Report on The Humanitarian Situation in Sinjar District Center after Liberation Prepared By EADE Sinjar District Center, Iraq December, 2015 Engineering Association for Development and Environment (EADE) [email protected] Iraq-009647701614471 Jordan-00962796216727 Background Sinjar District also known as Shingal, located 120 km to the West of Mosul with coordinates 36° 19′ 21″ N, 41° 51′ 51″ E (36.3225, 41.864167). The town is mainly inhabited by Yazidi, Arab and Assyrian. In August 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant launched an offensive in Northern Iraq and pushed into Kurdish held areas of the Nineveh Province, capturing the city of Sinjar, among others. In what is known as the Sinjar massacre, 2,000–5,000 Yazidis were killed in and around Sinjar, while 200,000 civilians fled to Sunoni (Al‐Shamal Sub‐District), Dohok, Zakho, Erbil, Sulaimaniyah and Derak in Syria. Amongst these, some 50,000 Yazidis fled to the Sinjar Mountains, located to the city's north, where they were facing starvation and dehydration. By the end of August, the majority of these 50,000 Yazidis were able to leave the mountains through a corridor opened by Kurdish forces, although several thousand stayed there. While ISIL held onto Sinjar city and the southern entrance of the Sinjar Mountains, they seized further terrain north of the mountains on 21 October 2014, thereby cutting the area's escape route to Kurdish areas. Yazidi militias who were securing the holy Sherfedîn shrine, had to withdraw into the Sinjar Mountains. The number of Yazidi civilian refugees was estimated at 2,000–7,000. In the course of a first, six‐day‐long offensive in December 2014, Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga took control over a part of the city of Sinjar and parts of the mountains, and expanded their offensive on to Tal Afar. Engineering Association for Development and Environment (EADE) [email protected] Iraq-009647701614471 Jordan-00962796216727 Once ISIL recognized lose control of these locations is close, they started to plant many IEDs on the main streets of the Sub‐Districst, meantime they blew many houses belong to Yazidi and Arab leaving the city in dire situations. On 12 November 2015, over 7,500 Kurdish fighters, backed by the US‐led coalition, began their offensive to retake Sinjar. The U.S. and British Special Forces were also participating in the offensive. ISIL counter‐attacked in the western part of Sinjar, while hundreds of Peshmerga were waiting to be deployed in battle. Kurdish forces had secured the wheat silo, cement factory, hospital and several other public buildings in the northern part of the city, with reports that ISIL had fled Sinjar prior to the offensive. However, a Peshmerga official expressed his concern about possible suicide bombers remaining within the city. Kurdish forces also secured 150 square kilometres (60 square miles) of territory around Sinjar from ISIL. On the morning of 13 November 2015, the operation's second day, a Kurdish force including Syrian Kurdish YPG forces and Gerila forces of the HPG advanced to the city center from the west. There they were joined by Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces advancing from the east, including the Iraqi Kurdish Zeravani and independent Yazidi forces subsequently, a stream of armed personnel carriers, Humvees, SUVs and light trucks were moved into the city. With a U.S. A‐10 aircraft circling over the city, they took control of the city.

Entry into Sinjar is controlled by the Peshmerga forces and is currently not allowed for non‐Sinjar people; entry is only permitted for Yazidi & Sheaa from Sinjar. The people entering Sinjar are moving out their houses furniture to areas outside Sinjar. Sinjar is currently considered a military zone and is undergoing mines cleaning operations and removal of IEDs by the Peshmerga forces. Many of whom have been exposed to explosive incidents during exercise. On Dec 2, 2015 seven members of the Peshmerga forces were killed after an IED exploded in one of the houses. The current situation of people in Sinjar can be described by a view of destroyed buildings and houses and no means of life. The families whom inhabited originally in the south of Sinjar Mountain now are living in tents inside the Mountain for never liberating their villages and complexes, while other families inhabited originally in the north of Sinjar Mountain were returned to their own houses after liberation. Generally, 88% of Sinjar city recorded as destroyed places including houses and general facilities and services project.

The local NGOs were not presented in this location as a source of humanitarian aids distribution. Their activities were only limited in preparing assessments and report for IDPs needs. The most active organization was Yazda organization as nonprofit organization which ensure distribution of tents, food parcels, caravans and other requirements. It is important to have immediate interventions to provide immediately the necessary needs of Sinjar people to encourage people to return back and prevent their immigrating outside Iraq which began widely in a sharp mode among Yazidi families. EADE is one of local organizations who was continuously submitting reports on the current situations in Sinjar area. Some of these reports were previously submitted to UNHCR and other United Nation Organizations to follow the detailed number of returnees, losses of damages in the Governmental & private sector properties, through detailed reports prepared by EADE staff after their deep communications and interaction with all parties of concerns in Sinjar, the local governments, tribal heads and security forces. Engineering Association for Development and Environment (EADE) [email protected] Iraq-009647701614471 Jordan-00962796216727 High level efforts of coordination and funding resources is required to meet the urgent humanitarian response for Sinjar IDPs/returnees. This should be exercised by keeping an active and permanent contacts with POC supported by understanding and coordination between the humanitarian organizations, donor organizations, local government and security forces to success a practice of reconstruction Sinjar city.

  • Security Council Issue: the Situation Regarding the Islamic State of Iraq
    Forum: Security Council Issue: The Situation Regarding the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Student Officer: Ekaterina Kusaiko Introduction & Main Ideas The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) or the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, is a Salafi jihadist militant group that follows an Islamic fundamentalist, Wahhabi doctrine of Sunni Islam. The group has referred to itself as the Islamic State (IS) since it proclaimed a worldwide caliphate in June 2014 and named Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as its caliph. As a caliphate, it claims religious, political, and military authority over all Muslims worldwide. As of December 2015, the group has control over vast landlocked territory in Iraq and Syria, with a population estimate ranging between 2.8 million and 8 million people and where it enforces its interpretation of sharia law. ISIL affiliates control over the small areas of Libya, Nigeria, and Afghanistan and operates in other parts of the world, including North Africa and South Asia. ISIL gained prominence, when in early 2014 it drove Iraqi government forces out of key cities in its Western Iraq offensive, followed by the capture of Mosul and the Sinjar massacre, almost causing a collapse of the Iraqi government and prompting a renewal of US military action in Iraq. In Syria, the group has conducted ground attacks on both government forces and rebel factions. The number of fighters the group commands in Iraq and Syria was estimated by the CIA at 31,000, with foreign fighters accounting for around two thirds, while ISIL leaders claim 40,000 fighters, with the majority being Iraqi and Syrian nationals.

Introduction “Not since Rome has one nation loomed so large above the others”. With this sentence, Jo- seph Nye opens his book The Paradox of American Power (2002: 1). After the end of the cold war, and especially since 9/11, the notion of an “American empire” and the comparison with Rome as the sole precursor of the U.S. empire have become a mainstay of historians and political commentators alike (e.g. Kagan, 2002; Golub, 2002). Rome also underwent a transformation from republic to an imperial golden age, and reference is made to opinion leaders such as Cato, who said of Rome’s enemies: “Let them hate us as long as they fear us.” This sentiment is echoed by Charles Krauthammer (2001) who asserts that America “is the dominant power in the world, more than any since Rome.

  • 1 | Page Submission to the Senate Standing Committees on Foreign
    Submission to the Senate Standing Committees on Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade on the Issues facing diaspora communities in Australia by the Yazidi Australian Association Yazidi Australian Association welcomes the opportunity to provide a Submission to the Senate Standing Committees on Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade on the Issues facing diaspora communities in Australia. Yazidi Australian Association represents the needs and issues of the newly arrived Yazidi community members in Australia. We are one of the most recently arrived small and emerging refugee communities in Australia. Majority of our community members have settled in rural and regional Australia including Coffs Harbour, Wagga Wagga, Armidale and Toowoomba with a smaller cohort settling in Western Sydney. Below is a brief outline of the persecution faced by Yazidi community members. Further cultural information can be provided upon request. The Yazidi (or Ezidi) are a people who originate from Iraq, Syria and Turkey. The population is estimated to be between 800, 000 and 1000, 0001 globally, although their population is difficult to estimate considering their dwindling numbers over the last century due to constant persecution. The Yazidis are located primarily in the Nineveh province of northern Iraq, and in the Al-Jazira and Kurd- Dagh areas of Syria. The sacred valley of Lalish is the centre of pilgrimage for Yazidis. Some also live in Armenia and Georgia and many have migrated to parts of Europe. Sweden has had a significant Yazidi population since 20082 and Germany since the 1970s3 Yazidis almost all speak Kurmanji, with the exception of some villages in northern Iraq where Arabic is spoken.

  • Abraham and the Chronology of Ancient Mesopotamia
    Answers Research Journal 5 (2012):141–150. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v5/abraham-chronology-ancient-mesopotamia.pdf Abraham and the Chronology of Ancient Mesopotamia Matt McClellan, [email protected] Abstract Mesopotamia, the land that is today part of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, is home to one of the oldest civilizations to have ever been discovered. It is here that the civilizations of Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria existed. This land is noteworthy in the Bible because it was here that the exiles were taken captive after the destruction of Jerusalem. It was also here that Abraham had lived before he set out to the Promised Land. For many years, Abraham was believed to have lived at the same time as Hammurabi, king of Babylon. Later scholars would date Abraham to the period shortly before the reign of Hammurabi. However, the result of recent research is that the chronology of the ancient world is being redated. Hammurabi now appears to be a near contemporary of Moses instead of Abraham. In Egyptian chronological studies, the patriarchs are dated earlier than ever before. In spite of this, there has been little research conducted on the relationship between Abraham and Mesopotamia in this new chronological revolution. This article will look at the current trends in chronological studies and how they relate to the life of Abraham. It will come to the conclusion that Abraham lived much earlier in Mesopotamian history than what most have realized. Keywords: Abraham, Mesopotamia, Ebla, Ancient Chronology, Sodom and Gomorrah Introduction overlap considerably. A Bible-believing Christian will, Mesopotamia was one of the earliest regions to of course, reject the dating of the oldest periods but, be inhabited after the great Flood, and it was here as mentioned in the introduction, this paper will not that Abraham lived his early life.

  • The Theory of the Triangle of Conflict and the Geo-Strategic Justification for the Turkish Military Incursion in SINJAR and QANDIL to Pursue the PKK
    Journal of Political Science and Leadership Research ISSN 2504-8821 Vol. 4 No. 3 2018 www.iiardpub.org The Theory of the Triangle of Conflict and the Geo-Strategic Justification for the Turkish Military Incursion in SINJAR and QANDIL to Pursue the PKK Assistant Professor Dr. Mohamed Aziz Abdel-Hassan Al-Bayati College of Political Science Baghdad University Baghdad Al - Jadiriyah Complex [email protected] Abstract Conflict is a natural state of affairs, so that we merely observe the behavior of the parties without trying to resolve it, i.e, managing the conflict. Therefore, the conflict "is a competitive situation in which the parties are aware of the inconsistencies and inconsistencies of positions and visions." John GALTHUNG (conflict triangle): The conflict is seen as an equilateral triangle, and it is called the three corners of its sides: angle of contradiction, angle of perception, angle of behavior. A - Contradiction: The situation that crystallizes the incompatibility of goals and interests between the parties. B) Perception: refers to the process of conceptualizing misconceptions about themselves (vision), and perception of each other. Behavior refers to the crystallization of contradiction and narration into behavior on the ground, usually embodied in the form of threat or oppression and the use of armed violence (war). The strategic location of SINJAR and QANDIL is a triangle of equal footing because of the nature of the conflicting powers.

  • Recognizing Yezidi Genocide: Perspectives and Challenges of Initiating an (Inter)National Tribunal for the Crimes of ISIS Against Yezidi Minority
    Maastricht University European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2018/2019 Recognizing Yezidi Genocide: Perspectives and Challenges of Initiating an (Inter)National Tribunal for the Crimes of ISIS against Yezidi Minority Author: Mirza ALI Supervisor: Prof. Andre Klip 1 ABSTRACT: This interdisciplinary research dissertation is based on the legal analysis about the characteristics of crimes of ISIS, possible recognition of Yezidi genocide according to the provisions of international criminal law and perspectives of initiating a special tribunal for the crimes of ISIS against Yezidi minority. The thesis compares evidence of the incidences and atrocities of ISIS with provisions of the UN Genocide Convention and other international treaties to find out whether Yezidis belong to a protected group under international law and whether these crimes could be legally named as genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes. Secondly, the study highlights the international reactions and symbolic political recognition of Yezidi genocide worldwide and explains the obligations of those states who recognized the genocide by taking three examples of the USA, UK and European Union to examine what they did post-recognition and whether their measures promoted the initiation of a legal entity to punish the crimes of ISIS. Finally, this thesis analysis the perspectives and challenges of establishing a national or international tribunal for the crimes of ISIS, by highlighting the obstacles and possibilities for three roads towards bringing justice: referring the case to ICC; establishment of an Ad hoc/Hybrid tribunal; or the activation of an Iraqi national jurisdiction for international crimes. On the basis that facts are given about the current legal situation and appropriate ideas are recommended to reform Iraqi law in order to fulfil the contemporary standards of ICL and comply with the principles of international human rights.
