We have explained the Yezidis’ situation many times and have sent many letters and reports concerning the Yezidis’ situation in Middle East, particularly in Iraq, as well as our current situation in the Yezidi regions in Iraq. We believe that it is now very clear what the innocent, ethnic Yezidis have been going through throughout history, from the past to the present, and especially following the bombing of four suicide trucks in the two Yezidis’ villages of Kahataniya and Al-Jazeera in the district of Sinjar on Aug. 14,2007, when the Yezidis lost hundreds of innocent children, women, adults and elderly people.
There is evidence that the KDP. was partner in those four suicide truck bombings.
The Kurds see that the Baghdad government and United Nations in Iraq are failing and helpless to protect the four-five non- Muslim ethnic groups. This is a great opportunity for them to freely torture, kill as many Yezidis, Assyrians, Chaldeans and Armenians as possible, as well as to convert all people into their bloody Kurdish culture and ethnicity.
Yezidis’ Current Problems:
- Kurdish authorities force Yezidis to register as Kurds.
- Peshmerga (Kurdish militias) troops control the Yezidis areas illegally and by force.
- Two competing Kurdish political parties are preventing any development in Yezidis areas.
- Yezidis political leaders have been receiving threats since 2003.
- Kurds have placed their militias in schools in Yezidis regions for a few months.
- There are no Secondary schools and Hospitals in any of the Yezidis’ villages in Sinjar area.
- Ten million US dollars were approved by the Priminister Hon. Maliki. The Kurdish authority took the money and has not given it to those victims of the terror attacks in two Yezidis’ villages on August 14, 2007.
- Since the terror attacks in the two Yezidis’ villages of Kahataniya and Al-Jazeera on Aug. 14, 2007, several Yezidi Officials have been held in a Kurdish detention centre. These are some of their names: Shamdin Ismail Khalaf, Masaud Ismail Khalaf, Ballo Khoudeda Khalo, Khaled Mahlo Kassem and Kheder Rasho Namo. Numerous other Yezidi public officials have been tortured and jailed when they told the Kurdish militias to leave the Yezidi areas.
- Dr. Kifah Mohammed, director of the Sinjar hospital, along with Officials of the local authority associated with Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) are threatening Yezidi Families to leave Sinjar city or face severe consequences and torture. These acts are crimes against basic human Rights and human freedom. These human rights issues must be put to an end…
- An immediate United Nations Investigation team of the two Yezidi villages that were attacked by terrorists on Aug. 14, 2007 killing hundreds of innocent Yezidis. There is documentary evidence that the local Kurdish authority was a partner in these crimes against humanity. The U.N. and International communities must be able to investigate this incident, take all possible measures and remove the Kurdish authority from the Yezidis’ regions. The Yezidis can then live in peace and freedom.
- An immediate pullout of all Kurdish militias from Yezidis areas. The Kurds must obey Democratic and International laws. We do not want them in our life. Additionally, Mr. Barazani should be able to remove his militias from our regions and take them back to Dohuk, Erbil , Sulymaniyah, etc.
- Immediate International Humanitarian aid to the Yezidi regions. They have been suffering since Feb. 2007 because needed food products and other human necessities have been blocked from reaching the Yezidis. Nobody seems to be concerned about this. The Yezidis are human beings. They need Food products, Education, Medical-care, Jobs, and immediate shelters for those victims of the attack on Aug. 14, 2007, which was the deadliest terror attack in Iraq since the war began in 2003.
- The Yezidis must be identified as Yezidis, not as Kurds or Arabs, and their rights must protected in the Iraqi constitution and by International law.
Received Saturday, September 29, 2007 from Yezidis in Iraq:
- Send immediately sufficiently and durably Peshmerga units to Shingal, in order to protect the Kurdish yezidi population effectively!
- If you are not able to send Peshmerga troops, organize, finance and realize immediately measures, so that the Kurdish yezidi population can protect itself!
- Smash the developed blockades, so that humanitarian assistance arrives also areas where it is urgently needed!
- Furnish a protected passage from Shingal to the areas of the KRG for further humanitarian assistance!
- If you follow your moral obligations, stand materially and morally by the side of the Kurdish yezidi population in Shingal!
We like to ask you insistently - with this open letter, which will be published on different internet sites - notice your obligations for the protection and security of the Kurds not only within the borders of the KRG but in particular for Kurds and Kurdish areas outside of the KRG before further murderous attacks, like the last.
Best Regards

As many of you were aware about the Terror Attack on two Yezidis villages of Kahataniya and Al-Jazeera in the district of Sinjar-the Yezidis Homeland for thousands of years, which our calendar date goes back to 6757 years now, and we are sure that the International Communities know that and our history very well, but we don't know why are they silent? Or the Yezidis may not be accounted of human being in the UN charter of Rights, this is the only possiblity we can think of !!!
According to innocent eye witnesses and phone calls prior to the explosion by 1/2 an hour the local K.D.P. leader Mr. Serbast Taranishi sent his undercover militias to the market areas and gathered more than 98% of militias of Mr. Barzani or KDP. that they were told they are having an emergency meeting at the local Kurdistan democratic party(KDP) head quarter, if he said there are four trucks of explosion, he was afraid because he knew some of the Kurdish militias were Yezidis and so some of them might have told the crowded Yezidis to run away.
The Kurdish militias (violence creator) of Mr. Barzani should understand that we (Yezidis) do not welcome them in our regions of Sinjar, Bahzani, Bahshiqa and Shaykhan, as it was very clear that the Kurdish Authority was a partner with the crimes of the Terror Attack in the two Yezidis' villages of Kahataniya and Al-jazeera on August 14,2007.
As our history shows that there have never been any attacks against the Yezidis and Christians' Faith, Ethnic, Culture, etc. in Middle East unless the Kurdish are the leading team or frontiers.
In February of 2007, the Kurdish public and their militias attacked the Yezidis of Shaykhan, looted several variety stores, shot and damaged many houses. Not long time after that many Yezidis were captured and tortured in Kurdish jails in Northern Iraq those who tried to rally and make the International communities aware of what is going on in Yezidis region.
In April of 2007 the Kurdish militias captured two Officials of the Yezidis Movement for Reform and Progress, their names; Saeed Mando Hamo and Khalil Rasho Hasse and both are in jail till now.
After the recent terror attack in Kahataniya and Al-Jazeera, hundreds of innocent Yezidis have been beaten and threaten by Kurdish militias.
The Official members of Head Quarter of Yezidis Movement for Reform and Progress in Sinjar have been threaten to death. Because they know that the Yezidis Movement is the only political party that represents the Yezidis in Iraq... And the other two trusted Yezidis' representatives are; Yezidis Cultural Association and Sinjar Mountain Humanitarian Organization.
It is very clear that the Kurdish Authority is breaking all the Rules of International Communities, such Human Rights, Human Freedom, Democratic, Federalism' Rules.
The International Communities Must wake up and do some before it is too late!!!
The Yezidis of those two villages partially destroyed by the terror attack on August 14, 2007, thousands of them are living in tents without fair public services such; clean drinking water, electricity, food shortages, no schools,
shortages of medicals, no hospital, only one general walk-in-clinic, no compensation, those innocent Yezidis are in urgent need of housings and fair Medical Care before the winter start, overall they human being...
Note: Any of those International Communities should not interview any clan leaders of the Yezidis' regions, as you may know they are Traitors, they are clan leaders by Kurdish Authority and their forces, and they are the enemy of humanity and human rights.
Peace and Freedom Always,
Mirza Ismail

The following letter was received September 15, 2007 from the President of the Yezidi Cultural Association in Iraq regarding the August 14th Sinjar bombing:
Good morning dears,
I would like to share you with us to assess the awful blasts in the two Yezidi villages in Sinjar on August 14, 2007. Really, I don't know how tell you what happened at that black day, but we tried as "Yezidi Cultural Association Organization", to document locally all we were able to do and the following attachments are the names of killed, wounded, and orphans. These attachments are not the final number, but that what we were tried to collect, and the efforts are continuous to assess the houses, shops, vehicles, and other materials and financial.
(Note from webmaster: these documents are in a character set that we are not able to post at this time.)
After that what happened is some thing very hard for us. No body now is able to travel out side Sinjar to have processing their documents (passports, national card, and other personal documents). The villages were surrounded with high walls of soil and the municipality services were limited to the minimum, while it was very poor. Because of the limited traveling, no body can invest, sale their products, the university professors and students aren't able to involve their jobs, the schools in the two villages are not suitable to accept the students, the collapsed houses need to be build before winter season, the other damaged houses also need to be repaired or re-build. The region's future right now is unknown and therefore no body knows how to behave. The Kurds are killing Yezidis regarding them as unbelievers as it happened in Sheikhan last February, and the Arab are killing us because we facilitate for the Kurds to inter their regions and also because we are Yezidis. So, both side are playing games with us and our areas. I hope that this message be as one of your priorities.
With my best wishes,

URGENT HELP IS NEEDED!
August 31, 2007
Christian Churches ,
Dear Fathers, Pastors, Priests, Ministers, and Sisters,
On August 14, 2007 the Yezidis of Kahataniya and Al-Jazeera in the district of Sinjar-Iraq (Yezidis Region) have gone through a disaster terror bombing, in these two towns more than 750 innocent children, women, Adults, and elderly of Yezidis have been killed and more 600 Yezidis have been injured and many others still missing. As a Yezidis, we have been attacked 72 times by Islamic extremist and terror group in the past 800 – 1100 years ago and their attacks continues against this small innocent ethnic and faith group of the Yezidis throughout the Middle Eastern region. As the Yezidis we have lost millions of innocent Yezidis by those extremists and terror group.
As the Yezidis, we urgently ask for your assistance and help to let the world know what hard life we have been through and put pressure on Western Governments to protect us from those Islamic extremists and terror group attacks against this innocent and ancient nation.
As a small London Yezidis Community here in Ontario- Canada , we are urging you for any humanitarian aid and peacekeeping mission to the Yezidis region in Iraq .
Note: If there is any humanitarian aid to this region, please make sure that the aid to be given out to those victims’ families and relatives by International and Church organizations, otherwise if it given out by Kurdish Authorities and local government those innocent Yezidis won’t get 5% of the aid donations, as this act has already happened in this region, and if somebody speaks out about their rights they would be gunned down by Kurdish militias.
On behalf of the London Yezidis Community, I would like to thank you very much for your time and considerations.

Peace always,

This is the press release recently produced (August 23, 2007) by the author of this website www.YezidiTruth.org:
Yezidi Leader, now in U.S., seeks immediate end to genocide of Yezidi people in Iraq
Sedona, AZ (PRWEB) August 23, 2007 -- Kawwal Khoudeida Hasan, the leader of a community of about 50 Yezidi families now living in Lincoln, Nebraska, is pleading with the U.S. Congress and with the United Nations to stop the genocide of the Yezidis, a Kurdish people in Iraq with a unique history and religion.
Kawwal Hasan is a Faqir of the Shiekh Caste, the highest caste of the Yezidis. The Faqirs are the priests and preservers of the ancient histories and rites of the Yezidis. After fleeing Iraq, Kawwal and his family lived for several years in a refugee camp in Syria before arriving in the USA ten years ago.
According to Kawwal, Genocide is occurring at this moment in northern Iraq to the Yezidis, a Kurdish people with a unique history and religion. Their persecution is coming at the hands of Islamic militants, who for centuries have slaughtered all Yezidis who have refused to convert to their religion.
On April 22, 2007, the world became shockingly aware of the Yezidi plight when 23 of them were lined up and systematically gunned down by a firing squad of Moslem Kurds. A few days later, 3 more Yezidi men were gunned down by Moslem extremists in the city of Mosul, thus bringing the total of Yezidi murders to 34 during the three month period from March to May, 2007.
Most recently, on August 12, 2007, the drivers of four bomb-laden trucks detonated their loads after driving into two residential areas near the town of Qahataniya, 75 miles west of Mosul, killing at least 250 Yezidis and injuring at least 500 more. This attack occurred in an area principally occupied by Faqirs, members of the Yezidi priest class, thus indicating that the ultimate goal of the culprits was apparently to strike at the jugular of the Yezidi religion by destroying its priests.
Malicious attacks against the Yezidis have occurred since the advent of Islam, and even before, when blood-thirsty bands from the East attempted to conquer them. According to their own accounting, the Yezidis arrived in the Middle East around 2000 BCE from India. Then, over the ensuing years, they played important roles in the evolution of the Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian civilizations before becoming permanently settled in their present territory in northern Iraq. Since the advent of Islam in the seventh century they have been repeatedly attacked by Moslems, as well as Mongol armies from the east and deadly Ottoman Turks sweeping down from the north and west. Yezidi priests estimate that over the centuries nearly 23 million of their people have been slain during the 72 major attacks against them.
Saddam Hussein's Baath Party stirred up fresh hatred against the Yezidis 20-30 years ago and attacks against them began to come from their own Moslem countrymen, many of whom were their distant relatives.The Yezidis suddenly found themselves besieged by Kurdish families who over the centuries had been forced to surrender their native Yezidi faith and convert to Islam. Saddam made it his agenda to exterminate the Yezidi by poisoning many of their water sources. Then, following Saddam's overthrow and a momentary countrywide ceasefire in Iraq, the attacks resumed against the Yezidis.
Recent attacks
The most recent outbreak of attacks are some of the most difficult because they have been accompanied by the sabotage Yezidi relief food and water arriving from the international community. For the past seven months Moslem officials of the Iraqi government in northern Iraq have regularly diverted Yezidi food and water to other Moslems. This situation has been compounded by the fact that most Yezidi wells currently produce mostly bitter and toxic water. Thus, without help the Yezidis risk both famine and dehydration. But the Yezidis are terrified to speak against their persecutors. They fear retaliation against themselves and their families.
Peaceful People
The Yezidis are a peaceful people. All they ask is to be able to live and worship in freedom. Their relationship with non-militant Moslems and people of all religious faiths has always been peaceful and inter-supportive. The Yezidis have no animosity towards their Moslem neighbors and would even like to nurture their friendly Moslem relationships. Many Yezidis live in Moslem communities and attend Moslem schools. Their best friends, in some cases, are Moslem.
During Saddam's regime many Yezidis fled to Europe, America, and other parts of the world for sanctuary, but those who remained behind want to remain on their ancestral land and perpetuate the religion and culture of their ancestors. Their most important shrine is Lalish, a temple city in northern Iraq that holds the tombs of the Yezidis' most important saints and the place they retreat to in times of attack. It is important for the Yezidis to preserve their holy shrines and the doctrines of their religion, which their priests claim to be the oldest in the world. They can trace it back at least 6,000 years.Certain authors, such as G.I. Gurdjieff, have written about the uniqueness of the Yezidi ancient religion. It would certainly be a tragedy for the Yezidis, as well as the entire world, if it was lost now. We all stand to lose an important living record of humankind's ancient history.
During their history the Yezidis have often come to the aid of other embattled religions, such as Christianity. Now they need some of their compassionate aid returned to them. Early in the last century, when Christians living in Turkey fled from Moslem Turks during the Turko-Armenian War, the Yezidis offered their homes to hide the refugee Christians. They even paid a ransom of gold pieces to buy Christians from their Moslem captures. The Yezidis are appealing to their Christian brothers and sisters, as well as people of all faiths, to come to their rescue now.
What the Yezidis Seek
These peaceful people simply request that the bare necessities of food and water reach them as they did just seven months ago. But they also request protection from their Moslem neighbors so that their ancient culture can survive.
The Yezidis need the active intervention of the U.S. Congress, the United Nations, progressive nations throughout the world, and help from international organizations to survive this genocide.
If you would like to help the Yezidis please contact your representatives, and the media and inform them of the genocide of the Yezidi now occurring in Iraq. Let them know what the Yezidis need in order to survive.
