Elmas Nayif Yazidis should return to Shangal
It has been more than nine years since ISIL terrorists committed genocide against Yazidis in Shangal. Attacks by ISIS militants in Shangal have killed and displaced thousands of people. Siba Municipality Co-Mayor Sheikh Hıdır Elmas Nayif called on all Yazidis to return to their homes. Pointing out the harsh living conditions of Yazidis in refugee camps in Kurdistan, Elmas Nayif said: 'The poor living conditions in the camps are unacceptable. Our people are subjected to all kinds of attacks there. The KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party) has a special policy in the camps. They tell people, "Shangal is not a safe place as it is under airstrikes every day" to prevent our people from returning to their homes.
Elmas Nayif said the administration worked 24 hours a day to restore Shangal, noting: #Many organisations and institutions are making great efforts to restore Shangal. Yazidis now have their own security forces. People should return to Shangal to rebuild our homeland together.
Addressing the Yazidis, Elmas Nayif said: "Shangal belongs and will continue to belong to Yazidis. Many people have plans for this region, but they forget that only the residents of Shangal itself can make decisions about it. As a municipality, we do our best to provide services to our residents. We rebuild housing as residents return to Shangal, provide water and electricity. With the arrival of spring, we distribute trees throughout the villages to make the region beautiful and green," Elmas said.
