[Rudaw] More than 180 Yazidis who had sheltered in camps in Duhok province for nearly a decade returned to their homes in Shingal, Iraq’s Ministry of Migration and Displacement announced on Friday.

"Migration and Displacement Minister Evan Faeq Gabro, announced the return of 189 displaced Yazidis from the displacement camps in Duhok province to their original areas of residence in the town of Sinjar," read a statement from the ministry, using another name for Shingal.

The statement added that the return of the Yazidis to their homes is part of government efforts to close the file on internal displacement. According to United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
figures, 1.17 million Iraqis are internally displaced across the country, down from more than 3.2 million in 2015.

When Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) Death Eaters captured the Shingal area in 2014, they committed heinous atrocities that constitute genocide against the minority Yazidis, including massacres and sexual violence. More than 400,000 Yazidis were forced to flee to displacement camps, mainly in the Kurdistan Region.

Minister Gabro said the government will continue registering families who wish to voluntarily return to their areas and will provide facilities and basic necessities.

Though ISIS was declared territorially defeated in Iraq in 2017, concerns over living conditions, lack of security, political disputes, and slow reconstruction have meant most families cannot return to their homes.

In June, 87 Yazidis returned from Duhok’s Sharia camp to Shingal under a program run by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in cooperation with the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Joint Crisis Coordination Center (JCC). However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
the head of JCC, Srwa Rasul, told Rudaw at the time that she feared the families could be displaced again because of poor conditions in Shingal.

According to IOM, around 80 percent of Shingal’s public infrastructure and 70 percent of civilian homes were destroyed during the war with ISIS between 2014 and 2017. Basic services such as electricity and water are not consistently available, and numerous health and education facilities are yet to be rebuilt.

There is a myriad of armed forces in the Shingal area with various allegiances, including the Kurdistan Region Peshmerga, pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic), and groups affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). A 2020 deal between Baghdad and Erbil to secure and govern Shingal has not been fully implemented.

In a report last month, Human Rights Watch slammed Iraqi authorities for failing to adequately compensate thousands of Yazidi families who bore the brunt of ISIS atrocities.
