Twelve years after ISIL’s massacres, thousands of Yazidis seek justice

The Yazidi community in Iraq recently commemorated twelve years since the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) launched an assault on Sinjar. This attack was subsequently recognized by the United Nations as genocide. The commemoration highlights the ongoing pursuit of justice by thousands of Yazidis for the atrocities committed. The events in Sinjar, which occurred twelve years ago, represent a significant and devastating period for the Yazidi people, leading to international acknowledgment of the genocide.
