| 2014-06-14 |
| [Iran Press TV] Forty-thousand people have escaped violence in the Iraqi cities of Tikrit and Samarra as the army continues fighting Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... faceless myrmidons in the region, says the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The Geneva-based organization said on Friday that its sources on the ground estimated 40,000 people fled the two cities, after half a million abandoned djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... earlier. "Insecurity is spreading across the whole of Iraq and we foresee a protracted humanitarian crisis... It is getting worse by the hour and we do not have the necessary funding to respond adequately," said Mandie Alexander, the IOM emergency coordinator in Storied Baghdad, in a statement. IOM spokeswoman Christiane Berthiaume also made comments about the situation at a presser in Geneva, saying, "People are on the move and most of them are fleeing the fighting." "Schools and mosques have been converted into makeshift clinics to tend to the injured and chronically ill," Berthiaume said. Also on Friday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... s over summary executions and extra-judicial killings by the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... (ISIL), adding that hundreds were probably killed and thousands injured by the violence. On June 10, the faceless myrmidons took control of Nineveh province, including its bustling provincial capital Mosul, in a lightning advance, forcing "over 500,000 people in and around the city" to flee, according to the IOM. |
