REPORTAGE - Sinjar: Das Leben zwei Jahre nach dem Massaker
April 6, 2016 - Sinjar, Iraq: In a cemetery in Sardasht on Mount Sinjar, Yazidi women mourn during a traditional ceremony for the Yezidi New Year, known as Sere Sal (Head of the Year) which is celebrated on a particular Wednesday of April, named Red Wednesday. Following their tradition, they begin their New Year day with a banquet to honor the dead. They go to the nearby cemeteries with pots of food while men mostly remain behind in the villages. While going from tombstone to tombstone, the women eulogize each of the deceased with mournful singing and wailing. Afterwards, tablecloths are spread on the ground between the graves and the women proceed to feast upon the offered food. August 3, 2016 will mark two years since the massacre by ISIS when they captured the city, imprisoned civilians who failed to escape and killed at least 5,000 others, leaving the bodies in mass graves. In November 2015, the city was retaken by a massive operation involving Kurdish and Yazidi forces backed by the U.S.-led coalition. But with the frontline only a few miles away, very few of the town's Yazidi inhabitants have returned. (Maryam Ashrafi/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) *** Local Caption *** 05565903

REPORTAGE - Sinjar: Das Leben zwei Jahre nach dem Massaker
April 6, 2016 - Sinjar, Iraq: A Yazidi boy looks over to the mountains in Sardasht on Mount Sinjar. Even though Sinjar was liberated in November 2015, the city has failed to attract inhabitants back to their hometown. Instead they have found refuge in camps and smaller villages around the city of Sinjar or in towns in Iraqi Kurdistan. For many families, the ongoing rivalries between various Kurdish parties in the city, its uncertain future status and the fear of the return of ISIS have stopped them from returning to their hometown. August 3, 2016 will mark two years since the massacre by ISIS when they captured the city, imprisoned civilians who failed to escape and killed at least 5,000 others, leaving the bodies in mass graves. In November 2015, the city was retaken by a massive operation involving Kurdish and Yazidi forces backed by the U.S.-led coalition.

Iraq PKK Soldiers
The PKK Camp in the late winter and spring of 2004, in the Qandil Mountains of Iraq. The Kurds call this area Southern Kurdistan. The followers of Abdullah Ocalan, the leader and president of the rebel group, believe that he can lead the Kurds to freedom and independence. The Turkish government has been holding Ocalan captive since he was captured in Kenya in 1999.
The PKK (Kurdish Workers Party) has approximately 3,000 militants based in northern Iraq. The PKK wants a breakaway Kurdish state, and has been accused of several bombings in Turkey, one of the attacks was on the popular seaside resort of Kusadasi, killing five people in July 2005. Turkey?s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to take action against the Kurdish rebels that have situated themselves in northern Iraq. If US-led forces can stop them from crossing the border, Erdogan will reconsider.
In early October 2007, PKK fighters carried out an ambush near the border with Iraq, killing 13 Turkish soldiers. The incident has sparked renewed threats from the Turkish government to cross over into Iraq to pursue the fighters.
Almost 40,000 people have died in clashes between the Turkish army and PKK over the past two decades.

Turkey?s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to take action against the Kurdish rebels that have situated themselves in northern Iraq. If US-led forces can stop them from crossing the border, Erdogan will reconsider.
In early October 2007, PKK fighters carried out an ambush near the border with Iraq, killing 13 Turkish soldiers. The incident has sparked renewed threats from the Turkish government to cross over into Iraq to pursue the fighters.
Almost 40,000 people have died in clashes between the Turkish army and PKK over the past two decades.
