    NEWS - Irak: Kurden kehren in ihre Dörfer zurück
    December 30, 2016 - Tel Laban, Iraq - The Kakai Kurds are returning to their homes as Mosul offensive continiues in Tel Laban/ Gazakan on 30 December 2016. The Kakai Kurds are one of several multi-ethnic groups who are part of the Yarsan or Ahl el-Haqq (people of truth), a religion founded by Sultan Sahak in the late 14th century in western Iran. Some Yarsanis in Iraq are called the Kakais. The Kakais are one of the religious minorities scattered throughout northern Iraq in the provinces of Sulaimaniyah and Halabja, in the Ninevah Plains of Ninevah province and in villages to the southeast of Kirkuk. Historians and researchers disagree on their classification, as mystery and secrecy shroud this sect. Extremists of the Islamic State group (ISIS) have vowedr to pursue and kill members of the Kakai religious group in northern Iraq, considering them infidels who must be eliminated (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)
