Do you know why Yezidi hate Barzani? because Barzani gave Shingal and Sinjar to Isis Islamic terrorists
 Sinjar's situation heats up: Yazidis make serious allegations against Barzani's KDP.
SHINGAL, Northwest Iraq,— Yazidi resistance fighters said that Islamic State IS militants have again surrounded Mount Sinjar, threatening thousands of people still located there.

Militants of the Islamic State (IS) are now in control of virtually all the roads leading to the Shingal Mountain where thousands of Kurdish Yazidi refugees are still encircled, General Ashti Kochar of the Peshmerga forces commander told Rudaw in a phone interview from the besieged mountain.

According to the fighters, over 7,000 people were remaining in the mountains because they rejected to leave their home and villages behind. Being surrounded by IS, their situation seems to deteriorate as Sinjar´s Protection Units themselves had to withdraw to Mount Sinjar (Shingal).

“The situation is very bad. A further massacre against the people in the mountains is imminent if we do not get serious help now”, said a fighter of the Yazidi defense unit HPS. A military offensive for the support of Yazidis in Sinjar which had been announced by the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani had not been implemented yet. Apparently to urge thewww.Ekurd.net Yazidis to political concessions. In a meeting at the pilgrimage site Sharfadeen which had been attended by both commanders and tribal leaders, Yazidis decided a week ago that Sinjar region will be governed by Yazidis themselves, so that no political party affects the Yazidis' fate and region in the future. However, a participation of the political parties had not been refused.

In particular, the decisions seemed to be a thorn in Kurdistan Democratic Party KDP's side, the ruling party in the autonomous region of Kurdistan. In the past, it tried to gain the political supremacy in Sinjar, but struggled to invest in the disputed region when it came to questions of infrastructure and education. Resistance fighters and Yazidi commanders therefore make serious allegations against the KDP leadership: “The Peshmerga does not want to help us because we do not want our HPS unit to subordinate to their forces on the one hand, on the other our commanders refuse to become KDP members.
We are surrounded by IS fighters and the Peshmerga troops just do not want to march in to help us. Yazidi volunteers who want to join us are not able to reach us because all the roads are blocked by IS. People in the mountains run out of water. There is also a lack of food again. Many get just one piece of bread a day”, a HPS fighter reported.

The HPS is the largest Yazidi resistance unit in Sinjar so far. Its General Qasim Shesho is often referred to a “Peshmerga officer” in KDP related media, however, he rejected those claims in an interview with the Kurdish media outlet Rudaw. In addition, the Supreme Commander Haydar Shesho stated that Yazidis would not bow to anyone, which has been the reason for the current situation in Sinjar. Around 10,000 Peshmerga fighters retreated without a fight as IS militants overran the region on August 3. Previously, the Yazidis had been disarmed by the Peshmerga which promised them to care for their safety. As a result of their failure Yazidis formed militias, including the HPS, to defend themselves.

“They lie to all of us. They lie about us in the media. They do not want to help us because we do not want to relinquish the HPS to them”, said another HPS fighter.

Despite the genocide and the danger of further massacres, it is being fought for political influence in Sinjar. Supreme Commander Haydar Shesho said in a stament: “Sinjar is open to all political parties, especially the Kurdish ones. But we won´t bow to anyone. Everything that happens in Sinjar has to be in the interest of Yazidis.” Deliveries of weapons by helicopter were primarily directed at the few dozen Peshmerga soldiers in the mountains.

The KDP leadership fears that the YPG´s and PKK´s influence in Sinjar will intensify due to their help for the Yazidis and is therefore trying to counteract. In an interview with Rudaw the HPS General commented on its group´s relations to political parties: “The meaning of the name Peshmerga is sacred. They have dishonored the name as they fled. All parties are welcome to Sinjar once the region has been liberated. We are not enemies of any party.”

Need to be mentioned that after Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces withdrew from Sinjar without a fight leaving behind the Kurdish Yazidi civilians, the IS has extended its control on most parts of Sinjar district (124 km west of Mosul) on August 3, 2014, which led thousands of Kurdish families to flee to Mount Sinjar,www.Ekurd.net where they were trapped in it and suffered from significant lack of water and food, killing and abduction of thousands of Yazidis as well as rape and captivity of hundreds of women. Sinjar district is home to the majority of Yazidi Kurds.
