Yazidis in Shengal once again protest the 9 October Agreement

The Yazidis said they "do not accept the 9 October Agreement" in a march they organized in Shengal.

The "Shengal Agreement" was signed on 9 October 2020 between the former Iraqi Government headed by Mustafa Kazimi and the Kurdistan Region Government. The Yazidi people never recognized the agreement because it was signed without consulting with them.

Photographs of Shengal martyrs were carried during the march held in Shengal with the slogan "We do not accept any agreement, including the 9 October one" to reject once again the 9 October Agreement.

During the march, in which people from all over Shengal flocked, a call was made to protect the gains.

Shengal Autonomous Assembly co-chair Reham Hasan pointed out that there are plans for destroying the unity of the peoples and said: "One of these plans is the agreement signed on 9 October 2020. Our people have not accepted this agreement since it was signed. Components living in Shengal opposed this dirty plan. Unfortunately, the will of the Shengal people was not respected. The newly formed government wants to implement the plans of the Kazimi government."
