Since ISIS took control of Sinjar on August 3, 2014, the genocide of the Yazidi people has begun. ISIS terrorists attacked Sinjar, about two months after they took control of the city of Mosul, the capital of Nineveh Governorate, and they displaced the Yazidi population, killed thousands of Yazidis, and kidnapped more than six thousand women and children, who were later tortured, bought, sold, and raped .

The ISIS attack on Sinjar is classified as genocide and has been recognized by many international organizations, including The United Nations, the US Congress, the UK Senate, and the Armenian Parliament .

This attack was accompanied by a mass Exodus of Yazidis from their areas of residence in Sinjar, and then migration to European countries led by Germany . Where Yazidi organizations recorded the migration of more than 120,000 Yazidis during the first two years of displacement .

Yazidi activist and Nobel prize winner Nadia Murad said that the Yazidi people are between a rock and a hard place, they have nowhere to go and nowhere to return.

Barakat Issa, a Yazidi journalist who immigrated to Europe after the ISIS attack, says : "I had no desire to migrate when I received an invitation from the Yazidis in Germany to attend their conference, and I intended to return home after the conference."

He added: "the idea of immigration came to me when I was trapped on a mountain, and in those days I saw Yazidi children suffer just because they are Yazidis, and how their lives changed. then I promised myself that I would not let my children suffer like this if I survived thirst, hunger, cold, death on this mountain." He continues: "Immigration was not an easy option, but it's better than being displaced in a degraded country like Iraq, because I don't see Iraq as a suitable homeland for minorities in General, especially Yazidis." As for the option of staying in camps, Issa says: "Staying in the camps of Kurdistan is the worst decision, and its consequences are serious for the Yazidis .
