The ISIL and its associated militant groups are blamed for numerous sacrilegious acts. The terrorist groups have links with Saudi intelligence and it is believed that they are being indirectly supported by the Israeli regime. More than a million people have been displaced in Iraq so far this year, according to estimates by the United Nations.
On Sunday, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Iraq’s human rights minister said that ISIL militants had executed at least 500 members of Izadi Kurds after seizing the northern town of Sinjar. Al-Sudani added that ISIL militants burned alive some of their victims, including women and children. The Takfiri group has also kidnapped hundreds as slaves.
Meanwhile, all minorities in the Kirkuk region, including Turkmens and Kurds, have recently expressed concerns about the advance of ISIL terrorists. The latest developments come as thousands of Yazadis have fled Sinjar since the ISIL seized the ancient town a week ago.
Thousands of Yazadis have been killed or displaced since the ISIL terrorists attacked the mountainous Sinjar region in northern Iraq. This comes as a great number of Yazadis fled from the ISIL violence into the Sinjar Mountain range, becoming trapped for days without food or water. Some countries have begun airlifting food and water to them.
On Wednesday, the UN special envoy to Iraq Nickolay Mladenov declared the highest level of emergency for the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, noting that “Level 3 Emergency” will trigger additional goods, funds and assets to respond to the needs of those displaced.
Yazads are facing a real humanitarian disaster. They are displaced completely from their cities and we have been informed that some 600 female Yazadis are being held captive by the ISIL. More than 500 children are dead, the international community must react towards this tragedy,” Kamel Amin, a spokesman for Iraq’s Human Rights Ministry, said.
The ISIL militants have reportedly taken the female captives to an unknown location. According to some sources, they are held in a prison in Nineveh Province and used as sex slaves by militants.
A senior Iraqi official says Takfiri ISIL terrorists have carried out hundreds of summary executions after seizing a town in the country’s troubled north. Thousands of the Yazadis crossed the border with Syria to escape the violence in northern Iraq.
The ISIL has taken several towns since it intensified its attacks in Iraq in mid-June. The Iraqi army is engaged in fierce fighting with the ISIL militants to push them out of the captured areas.
Tens of thousands of people have been displaced after their cities were captured by ISIL militants, including the residents of the Christian town of Qaraqosh and the Yazadis of Sinjar town. The ISIL terrorists say they will continue their raids towards Iraqi capital Baghdad.
Iraqi Premier Nouri al-Maliki has vowed that the country’s security forces would confront the Takfiri terrorists. Al-Maliki has repeatedly said that the US and its regional allies – especially Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey — are supporting the militancy in Iraq.
