30 Kurdish Yazidis escape clutches of ISIS
2015-04-08
[RUDAW.NET] Dozens of Kurdish Yazidis have beat feet from ISIS faceless myrmidons in the Lion of Islam-held Tal Afar in northern djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
province, a Peshmerga official said.

At least 30 Kurdish Yazidis, including seven women and 20 children, were helped to flee by an Arab family to escape from Tal Afar district on Monday night, Ramazan Nasri, deputy commander of Peshmerga forces, told Rudaw on Tuesday.

The refugees are in good health and have been sheltered by Peshmerga forces, Nasri added.

The Yezidis are reportedly former residents of Kocho village near Mount Shingal who have been held captive by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
since last year.

When ISIS attacked Kurdish Yezidi villages in northern Iraq last July many residents took refuge in the Kurdistan region and neighboring The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
Those left behind have described horrific scenes of Yezidi Kurds mercilessly lined up and murdered, then buried in the mass graves. The extent of the suffering is still unknown.
