Shengal Resistance Units (YBŞ), Shengal Women’s Units (YJŞ) and the Êzidxan Asayish Security Forces were founded by Shengali youth after the ISIS genocide on August 3, 2014 that the Êzidîs call the “73rd Firman”.

CALL FOR THE MIGRANT YOUTH

Êzidxan Asayish member Berxwedan Şengali from the Duhle village in Shengal spoke about their efforts: “We as the Êzidxan Asayish protect the Êzidî people along with the YBŞ and YJŞ. We will never lean on a foreign force for the protection of our people. We are defending Shengal with our will and our strength and solving the problems of the Shengali people. We are following on the footsteps of the martyrs, and we will avenge them. We will defend the honor and dignity of the Êzidî people until our last breath.”

Şengali called on the migrant Êzidî youth: “For how long will you idly watch the tears of the mothers? Come, we will fight with a common stance and a common goal to prevent the invasion of sacred Êzidî land.”

Guhle Village Asayish Member Xelef Adike said: “As a young Êzidî, I joined the Asayish forces to defend the lands of Êzidxan. My purpose is to prevent massacres of our people. All Êzidîs should consider themselves responsible for this.”

“SOLVING THE PROBLEMS OF OUR PEOPLE IS OUR DUTY"

Asayish member Demhat Êzidî said: “Our people have experienced hundreds of genocides up to date, 74 of which are known by name. There could be more. Protecting Êzidxan is our duty. Solving the probems of our people is our duty. The village security forces were founded on the people’s demand, and the Asayish members are from this village.”
