Yazidi people announced that they will not recognize the genocidal agreement against Shengal and said; "The KDP will not be able to sell us out again. We have YBŞ and YJŞ, we do not need any other force."
Under the guidance of the KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party), an agreement was signed between the Kurdistan Regional Government and the central Iraqi Government without the knowledge of the legitimate representatives of the Yazidis in Shengal.
The Yazidi people rejected the agreement from the very beginning and stated that they would never accept the agreement imposed on them. The Yazidis emphasized that they would not recognize and consent to the agreement in question, except for their real representatives.
'WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE AGREEMENT OF THOSE WHO ESCAPED FROM SHENGAL'
The reaction of the Shengal people against the agreement continues.
Haci Dehal from the town of Sinune, stated that the agreement was made without informing the people of Shengal who were asked no questions about the agreement. He noted that they just want to lead a peaceful life.
Recalling the genocide of ISIS against the Yazidis, Dehal said, “When ISIS attacked Shengal, the armed force of the KDP fled and handed the Yazidi people over to ISIS. But the PKK came and protected Shengal and mounted historic resistance. For this reason, what is good for us is that the legitimate representatives of the Yazidi be informed of the agreement and that the people of Shengal determine their own destiny.”
Another local, Reşid Davut said, “Nobody takes us into account here, they make an agreement about us and decisions are made about our lives in line with their own interests. We do not accept the return of those who escaped from Shengal, those who left the Yazidis vulnerable.”
Adil Haci, a resident of region, pointed out that the best for them is that the force protecting Shengal is made up of the Shengali people themselves. He said it is unacceptable to allow forces that left the Yazidis to face genocide to come to Shengal again.
'WE WON'T ALLOW THE KDP TO SELL US OUT AGAIN'
Qendil Tilhizir from Khanasor said, “We faced genocide due to the KDP policy, thousands of Yazidi girls and women were kidnapped, the children were orphaned, and then the KDP handed Shengal over to Hashd al-Shaabi in 2017. We will not accept KDP selling us out once again.”
Tilhizir continued as follows: "Shengal and Yazidis are not the same as before, they woke up, nobody can impose an agreement on us without our consent. We have YBŞ and YJŞ, we do not need any other force."
