Yazidi residents of Shangal celebrated the New Year with a big celebration for many years after the treacherous attack of ISIS in 2014.

"2020 was a sad year, but I hope that 2021 will be a happy year for all Yazidis," said Halima Semo, a participant in the celebration.

In 2014, ISIL militants attacked Shangal and carried out ethnic cleansing against the Yazidi minority. After the defeat of ISIS, several different armed groups controlled the area. It came under federal Iraqi control late last year after the governments in Erbil and Baghdad reached a historic agreement over the disputed area.

"2021 will be the best year of "peace and hope" for a better life. God willing, he will bring joy to the people of Shangal, " Hamo Salim said at the celebration, where local singers returned from abroad to perform for the people, among whom were many people still living in displaced persons camps.
