Germany is expected to train a Yazidi force in northern Iraq to seize back their homeland from the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), German television channel N24 reports.

That revelation comes as hundreds of Yazidi families remain stranded on Iraq’s Mount Sinjar after Kurdish troops, assisted by U.S.-led airstrikes, broke an ISIS siege there in December 2014.

Yazidis are a Kurdish religious minority who were attacked as ISIS swept through Iraq and seized the Sinjar area along with other Kurdish-held territory in northern Iraq. Thousands of Yazidi civilians fled their homes in Iraq’s northern Nineveh province.

They went to Mount Sinjar for protection from the onslought of ISIS jihadists. Thousandswere killed, kidnapped, or enslaved before they were rescued.

Germany’s Deutsche Welle (DW) interviewed Yazidis who remain in Mount Sinjar. Some say they do not want to leave their homeland and go somewhere else, noting that they currently lack food, shelter, clothing, and access to healthcare.

Germany To Train Yazidi Force to Combat ISIS?

the entire KURDISTAN from Iran >>>Iraq>>>Syria>>>>Turkey should
be ARMED TO THE HILT. I never
supported the arming of the TALIBAN--
even in the 1980s when they were
presented in the USA as some sort of
FREEDOM FIGHTING HEROES----because
I knew that their real goal was the CALIPHATE FILTH-------but the kurds---
while not entirely free from the stink and
filth of the ethos of Islamic imperialism are
far far far preferable as real----REAL allies
of civilization

 

[Mindful]

Pleased to hear that Germany is getting into it. Helping the Yazidi to fight ISIS.

Will these be the next lot of people to turn their guns on the west?

 

[irosie91]

Will these be the next lot of people to turn their guns on the west?

Probably not----the Yazidi---seem to be
remnants of ZOROASTRIANS----a people which has never engaged in the kind of aggressive filth commonly employed by muslims of all Islamic sects----even sufis

They are a Kurdish people knows as followers of The Seven Angels.

The west should support ALL Kurds, whatever their leanings. They are the only ones determined to defend their homeland in a united manner, unlike the tribes who continually fight one another over stupid interpretations of the blessed Koran.

 

[Mr Natural]

Does ISIS really want the Germans getting involved?.

The sort of aggression that the US have been engaging in for quite a while, especially in the Middle East?

But won't support the Kurds because supporting the Kurds means going against the Turks.

Recent elections in Turkey have softened the Turkish stance against the Kurds. The Turks are also concerned with ISIL because of all the pressure on its border with Syria.

probably not-----why would they? doing so would not be consistent with their history

your premise that the US has been engaging in aggression in
the middle east is a matter of opinion. The US incursion into
Iraq was an attempt to remove a genocidal maniac from power----one who supported world wide terrorism by "personal philosophy" since he began his ascent into power in Iraq as far back as the 1960s. The real problem ---IMO--- in that project was the silly notion that taking the Baathist maniac Saddam out was not enough and somehow the US was going to GIFT
Iraq with "democracy". If I were queen, the project would have been restricted to getting rid of Saddam and airlifting Christians outl of that potential shariah shit hole

must be something like "seven angels" in Zoroastrianism-----the
description of their religion is too damned ZOROASTRIAN like -----not to be ------Baghdad, at the time of ala'adin----and his giant jinni in the lamp friend did have a population of Zoroastrians------people under attack by muslims often TAKE TO THE HILLS -------they did it in Turkey, Iran, and Syria----in fact, even in Yemen.

take a second look-----there are lots of "sides" in the conflict
harboring based on lots of traditional hatreds-------no reason
to imagine any of those hatreds are going to evaporate even
in situations of "common cause"----and tenuous alliances

Its about time, the Kurds are the only force who can fight and defeat ISIS. It's their land.

It might really help lots-------if only the kurds from Iran thru Turkey could GET IT TOGETHER

They are doing the best they can despite national boundaries created by a bunch of Europeans who had not idea what they were doing. Check out my post in the History thread.

The West has consistently betrayed the Kurds because the Arabs and especially Turks are occupying Kurdish lands. And while many of the occupying countries are so called "allies" of the West, some of them like Syria are allied with Iran and Russia, who again, have influence over the West. That's why the Kurds always get the short end of the stick, and are always used, and then discarded. But maybe is time wit the breakup of Iraq and possibly Syria later, the Kurds may have an actual chance to get a small of portion of their land back. It's a start.

I think they have a somewhat autonomous region right now in Iraq that is under their total control which they are governing and protecting.

Iraqi Kurdistan or Southern Kurdistan (Kurdish: باشووری کوردستان‎, Başûrê Kurdistanê), also known as the Kurdistan Region (Kurdish: هه‌رێمی کوردستان‎, Herêmî Kurdistan), is an autonomous region of Iraq.[5] It borders the Kurdish regions of Iran to the east, Turkey to the north, and Syria to the west, along with the rest of Iraq to the south. The regional capital is Erbil(known as Hewlêr in Kurdish). The region is officially governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).

Kurdistan is a parliamentary democracy with a regional assembly that consists of 111 seats.[6] The current president is Masoud Barzani, who was initially elected in 2005 and re-elected in 2009. In August 2013 the parliament extended his presidency for another two years. The new Iraqi constitution defines Iraqi Kurdistan as a federal entity of Iraq, and establishes Kurdish and Arabic as Iraq's joint official languages. The four governorates of Duhok, Hawler, Silemani, and Halabja comprise around 41,710 square kilometres (16,100 sq mi) and have a population of 8.35 million (2013 estimate). In 2014, during the 2014 Iraq Crisis, Iraqi Kurdistan's forces also took over much of the disputed territories of Northern Iraq.

The establishment of the Kurdistan Region dates back to the March 1970 autonomy agreement between the Kurdish opposition and the Iraqi government after years of heavy fighting. The agreement however failed to be implemented and by 1974 Northern Iraq plunged into another round of bloody conflict between the Kurds and the Arab-dominated government of Iraq. Further, the 1980-8 Iran–Iraq War and especially the Anfal genocide campaign of the Iraqi army devastated the population and nature of Iraqi Kurdistan. Following the 1991 uprising of Kurds in the north and Shia's in the south against Saddam Hussein, the Peshmerga succeeded in pushing out the main Iraqi forces from the north. Despite significant casualties and the crisis of refugees in bordering regions of Iran and Turkey, the Peshmerga success and establishment of the northern no-fly zonefollowing the First Gulf War in 1991 created the basis for Kurdish self-rule and facilitated the return of Kurdish refugees. As Kurds continued to fight government troops, Iraqi forces finally left Kurdistan in October 1991, leaving the region with de facto autonomy. In 1992, Kurdish major political movements of KDP and PUK established the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government. The 2003 invasion of Iraq and the subsequent political changes led to the ratification of a new Constitution of Iraq in 2005.

Kurds generally consider Iraqi Kurdistan (Southern Kurdistan) to be one of the four parts of a greater Kurdistan, which also includes parts of southeastern Turkey (Northern Kurdistan), northern Syria (Western Kurdistan), and western Iran (Eastern Kurdistan).[7]
