Full horror of the Yazidis who didn’t escape Mount Sinjar: UN confirms 5,000 men were executed and 7,000 women are now kept as sex slaves

Yazidi refugees were lined up, shot dead, then bulldozed into mass graves
At least ten men at the village of Hardan were beheaded
Jihadists came into villages and selected women at will to make slaves

Thousands of Yazidi men in Iraq were murdered in scenes reminiscent of the Bosnian Srebrenica massacre when Islamic State jihadists swept through in August, according to researchers.

Tens of thousands of Yazidi refugees took up residence at make-shift sites and villages across the Kurdish region of northern Iraq after fleeing across Mount Sinjar in August - but equal numbers remained trapped behind the Isil lines.

Researchers, piecing together reports of attacks, have now concluded that more than 5,000 Yazidi were gunned down in a series of massacres by jihadist.

A further 5-7,000 women are also being held in makeshift detention centres, where they either been taken away and sold into slavery or handed over to jihadists as concubines.

Five detention centres in the town of Tal Afar is thought to hold around 3,500 women and children.

Due to the magnitude of the killings and enslavement they occurred largely unreported, but now United Nationals researchers have verified many of the tales of horror.

Bakat Khalaf, 60, said 14 of his family were missing or kidnapped, including his son.

Khartun Yusef said her daughter and four granddaughters were being detained in Tal Afar. Her son managed to get away with her to Mount Sinjar, but he was shot and killed when they tried to return home for supplies.

Her other son, who is 18, had been captured by jihadists.

The UN researchers have been collecting accounts of the Isil incursions.

It says that 250-300 men were killed in Mr Khalaf's village, Hardan, including ten that were beheaded. Another 400 were gunned down in the village of Khocho; Isil shelling killed another 200 civilians in the village of Adnaniya and 70-90 men were shot in a ditch in the village of Quinyeh.

On another road, out of al-Shimal village, near to Sinjar town, witnesses reported seeing dozens of bodies.

Researchers said hundreds more men had been killed for refusing to convert to Islam.

Some of the killing were brutally simplistic, with people being lined up at checkpoints, shot dead, then bulldozed into mass graves. Others were herded into temples which were late blown up.

Matthew Barber, a scholar of Yazidi history at the University of Chicago who was in Kurdistan as the assaults happened, said it was thought 3-5,000 men had been killed.

Some 4,800 women and children were thought to be held captive, and that number was expected to rise above 7,000.

Mr Barber told The Telegraph: 'In every place where Yazidi women or families are held, jihadists come and randomly select women that they take away.'

The jihadists claim justification through accounts of seizures of women in the early days of Muslim expansion in the 7th Century.

An open letter to Isil by Islamic scholars last month took Isil to task over the Yazidis, insisting that: "The reintroduction of slavery is forbidden in Islam. It was abolished by universal consensus."

Meanwhile, a magazine purportedly published by the terror group, Dabiq, released on Sunday attempts to justify the militants' snaring of thousands of innocent Yazidis during an assault on the Iraqi city of Sinjar in August.

Iraq's Yazidis speak of horrors under Islamic State militants

Explaining why Yazidis have been sold into sex slavery while those from other groups have not, the magazine claims Islamic Sharia law allows the enslavement of innocent 'polytheists and pagans' but not of those the militants regard as simply heretical.

Tens of thousands of Yazidis were forced to flee for their lives - many of them into the nearby Sinjar mountains and then into Kurdish-held regions of northern Iraq.

However many were captured by the militants, resulting in the massacre of hundreds of men and the selling into slavery of women and children, after they were first divided up between ISIS fighters.

ISIS' claim to have enslaved and sold Yazidi women and children came as Human Rights Watch said hundreds of Yazidis from Iraq continue to be held captive in makeshift detention facilities.

Tens of thousands of Yazidis fled into the Sinjar Mountains after the militant onslaught on Sinjar, part of ISIS' lightning advance into north and western Iraq.

Iraq's Human Rights Ministry said at the time that hundreds of women were abducted by the militants, who consider the Yazidis, a centuries-old religious minority, a heretical sect.

The issue of Dabiq magazine released on Sunday stated that 'the enslaved Yazidi families are now sold by the Islamic State soldiers.'

It added that 'the Yazidi women and children were then divided according to the Shariah amongst the fighters of the Islamic State who participated in the Sinjar operations.'

Attempting to justify the move, the magazine said Sharia law differentiates between female Muslims from 'heretical' sects, and those from groups such as the Yazidids, who are considered pagans.

Isis: the inside story

One of the Islamic State’s senior commanders reveals exclusive details of the terror group’s origins inside an Iraqi prison – right under the noses of their American jailers. Report by Martin Chulov

quote:

Abu Ahmed was an essential member of the earliest incarnation of the group. He had been galvanised into militancy as a young man by an American occupation that he and many like him believed was trying to impose a power shift in Iraq, favouring the country’s larger Shia population at the expense of the dominant Sunnis. His early role in what would become Isis led naturally to the senior position he now occupies within a revitalised insurgency that has spilled across the border into Syria. Most of his colleagues regard the crumbling order in the region as a fulfilment of their ambitions in Iraq – which had remained unfinished business, until the war in Syria gave them a new arena.

He agreed to speak publicly after more than two years of discussions, over the course of which he revealed his own past as one of Iraq’s most formidable and connected militants – and shared his deepening worry about Isis and its vision for the region. With Iraq and Syria ablaze, and the Middle East apparently condemned to another generation of upheaval and bloodshed at the hands of his fellow ideologues, Abu Ahmed is having second thoughts. The brutality of Isis is increasingly at odds with his own views, which have mellowed with age as he has come to believe that the teachings of the Koran can be interpreted and not read literally.

His misgivings about what the Islamic State has become led him to speak to the Guardian in a series of expansive conversations, which offer unique insight into its enigmatic leader and the nascent days of the terror group – stretching from 2004, when he met Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Camp Bucca, to 2011, when the Iraqi insurgency crossed the border into Syria.

Dat is per definitie onmogelijk. Van ISIS is bekend dat ze mindergelovigen afslachten. Alleen religieus extremisten zijn daar welkom. Kortom: als er zich al Koerden bij ISIS aansluiten, dan is dat omdat ze nazistisch-islamitisch zijn; niet omdat ze de PKK willen bestrijden.

Islamitische Staat onthoofdt negentien Iraakse agenten

Strijders van terreurbeweging Islamitische Staat (IS) hebben zondag negentien Iraakse politieagenten onthoofd. Dat zei een bron binnen de veiligheidsdiensten tegen het Spaanse persbureau EFE.

De moorden zijn gepleegd in de westelijke provincie al-Anbar, ten zuidwesten van de hoofdstad Ramadi. IS zou daar zaterdag na dagen van zware gevechten terrein hebben veroverd op het Iraakse leger.

De terreurbeweging nadert daarmee Ramadi.

Grote delen van het noorden en westen van Irak vielen in juni in handen van de soennitische extremisten van IS.

Kurds push into Sinjar; Iraqis battle for airport

SINJAR, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi Kurdish fighters, backed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes, pushed their way Sunday into the town of Sinjar, captured by the Islamic State militants last summer.

Further to the east, near the Syrian border, Iraqi security forces battled the IS extremists as they tried to retake the strategic military airport of Tal Afar.

The battle for Sinjar and the surroundings has become the latest focus in the campaign to take back territory lost to the Islamic State during the militants' summer blitz that captured large swaths of northern and western Iraq and neighboring Syria.

Last week, Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters launched the operation to retake Sinjar and opened up a passageway to Mt. Sinjar, which overlooks the town.

The development was an incremental step and helped evacuate some of the thousands of Yazidis trapped on the mountain following the town's fall in August.

On Sunday, loud explosions and intense gunbattles were heard from inside the town as coalition aircraft bombed Islamic State targets. The president of the self-ruled northern Kurdish region, Masoud Bazani, vowed to crush IS fighters.

"Most of the districts are under our control," Barzani told peshmerga troops as he toured their positions on Mt. Sinjar. "We will crush the Islamic State."

At least 15 Kurdish fighters wounded in Sunday's clashes were brought from the front-lines to a makeshift clinic on the mountain.

The spokesman for the Kurdish forces, Jabbar Yawar, said the fighters were still facing resistance from pockets of Islamic State militants still inside the town and that it is "far from cleared." He declined to provide more details on the going operation.

Meanwhile, Iraqi counter-terrorism forces launched an offensive Saturday to retake the military airport near the town of Tal Afar from the IS group, said a Baghdad official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to media. Tal Afar is a mixed Shiite-Sunni city of some 200,000 located strategically near the Syrian border to the east of Sinjar.

dat de iraakse overheid in een spagaat zit begrijp ik wel, dat ze aan de ene kant isis willen bestrijden en in zien dat ze de middelen niet beschikken, maakt hen vatbaar voor de sektarische shia milities en daar zit het gevaar em ook in

het is een duivels dilemma, isis bestrijden zonder de sunnis te vervreemden is knap lastig als de milities per definitie sektarisch opgebouwd zijn

maar zoals je stelt deze regering doet het veel beter dan de vorige, das wel positief

Lijkt me dat de Irakezen iets te vroeg in de tegenaanval zijn gegaan tegen IS. Al met al is er een meer doorslaggevende strategie nodig, shock & awe carpet bomben anno 2014 of een grondinvasie.

Leader of Iranian-backed militia killed in eastern Iraq
By Bill Roggio & Caleb WeissDecember 22, 2014

Alleged picture of the body of Wathiq al Battat

Wathiq al Battat, the leader of the Mukhtar Army and secretary-general of Hezbollah in Iraq, was killed yesterday in the eastern Iraqi province of Diyala. Battat had formed the Mukhtar Army in early 2013 and has received support from Iran's Qods Force.

The Mukhtar Army said that Battat was "assassinated today [Dec. 21] by accident in northern Diyala during the struggle with his sons against terrorism," according to a short statement released by the group. The events surrounding the "accident' were not immediately made clear. A source in the Iraqi Interior Ministry told al Quds al Arabi that Battat was killed by "unidentified gunmen," but this has not been independently verified.

The news quickly spread on Twitter, with many Islamic State supporters tweeting that the Islamic State was behind al Battat's death. The claim that the Islamic State was behind al Battat's death cannot be independently verified, and so far the jihadist group has not officially taken credit for his death.

Shiite militias, including the Mukhtar Army, have played a key role in battling the Islamic State in the eastern province of Diyala, which borders Iran. Qods Force, the external operations branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, has played a vital role in supporting Shiite militias combating the Islamic State in Diyala and elsewhere in Iraq. Iranian-backed Shiite militias such as the Hezbollah Brigades, Badr Brigades, Asaib al Haq, and the Peace Brigade (formerly the Promised Day Brigade) have all been spotted on the battlefield.

Battat was the secretary-general of Hezbollah in Iraq (the political party, not the Hezbollah Brigades, a dangerous Shiite militia supported by Iran) when he formed the Mukhtar Army in early February 2013. The Mukhtar Army was created to support the Iraqi government as Sunni political protests against the Iraqi government became more prevalent in early 2013. But shortly after it was mobilized, the militia distributed pamphlets in Baghdad threatening to kill Sunni residents.

In November 2013, the Mukhtar Army fired mortar rounds into northern Saudi Arabia. In an interview with Reuters, Battat said the goal of firing the rounds was to "send a warning message to the Saudis to tell them that their border stations and patrols are within our range of fire." Battat went on to say that the mortar fire was also to get "Riyadh to stop interfering in Iraq."

Just after creating the Mukhtar Army, Battat issued a prescient statement, warning about the yet-to-come jihadist offensive in Iraq.

"The government is stupid for not heeding our warning that al Qaeda is going to attack," Battat said, according to Al Arabiya. The Islamic State, then called the Islamic State of Iraq, was al Qaeda's official branch in the country before a leadership dispute arose with al Qaeda's General Command.

Battat told The Associated Press that the Mukhtar Army is supported by the Iranian government.

He "described himself as a follower of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He said his group receives weapons and other support from Iran, but declined to provide details. He has previously said he is advised by Iran's Qods Force," AP reported.

The Iraqi government issued an arrest warrant for Battat in February 2013, and he was reported to have been detained in the beginning of January 2014. His release was not announced, but he may have been freed by the Iraqi government to aid in the fight against the Islamic State, which launched its offensive to take control of Anbar that same month.

Iraq oil key for Turkey, says energy minister

ISTANBUL

The daily oil demand of the world will increase by 14 million barrels by 2040 and most of this demand will be met by Middle Eastern countries, mainly by Iraq, according to the IEA forecasts.

The daily oil demand of the world will increase by 14 million barrels by 2040 and most of this demand will be met by Middle Eastern countries, mainly by Iraq, according to the IEA forecasts.
Turkey is about to make new deals with new companies, which will be of great importance to Iraqi oil, Energy Minister Taner Yıldız said at the launch meeting of the World Energy Outlook 2014 report of the International Energy Agency (IEA) yesterday, as reported by Anadolu Agency.

“We are about to make new deals with new companies regarding Iraqi oil,” he said, without giving more details.

He also added Turkish authorities will hold a high-level strategic cooperation meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi during his upcoming visit, where further details will be discussed.

“The IEA expects the daily oil demand will increase by 14 million barrels by 2040, of which 4 million barrels will be provided by Iraq. Turkey cannot be indifferent to this,” he added.

“In the framework of our deals with Baghdad and Arbil, we will see an increase in trade with Iraq. We have a better understanding of how appropriate these deals are. Iraq’s instability affects us; Iraq’s stability therefore matters a lot to us. Turkey will continue to make the biggest contribution to the normalization of Iraq, as we do today,” he noted.

The IEA expects a dramatic decrease in energy investments in Brazil and the U.S. in 2015, but a dramatic increase in the world’s oil demand amid plunging oil prices, said IEA chief economist Fatih Birol during his presentation.

“This will increase the demand, especially for Middle Eastern oil, pushing the prices up in the forthcoming period. The IEA expects the daily oil demand to increase by 14 million barrels by 2040, and most of this amount to be met by the Middle East,” Birol said.

More investments need to be started today in the Middle East to meet the increasing oil demand, he noted.

“However, we didn’t see the appetite for more investment in many countries. Iraq is the most crucial country in the region with its fairly rich oil sources, but it is open to question whether the country will be able to increase its oil output due to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [ISIL] attacks and other political risks,” he added.

Iraq plans to boost its crude production to 4 million barrels a day (bpd) next year, Reuters reported. Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Energy Minister Ashti Hawrami told a conference in London on Dec. 17 the pipeline to Turkey could carry 800,000 bpd next year, including 550,000 bpd to be marketed by Baghdad under a first-stage deal reached earlier this month.

Hawrami said he saw Kurdish-produced oil shipments on its pipeline to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan rising to 500,000 bpd by the end of the first quarter of 2015 from the current levels of around 400,000 bpd.

The KRG will give 250,000 bpd of Kurdish crude to the federal State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) under the terms of a draft 2015 federal budget. Hawrami said Arbil would be a net contributor to Iraq’s finances by the end of next year.

The KRG will market the remainder of its oil independently, Hawrami said. He added that the KRG will also allow an estimated 300,000 bpd of crude from fields in the disputed province of Kirkuk to be exported through the KRG’s pipeline under SOMO.
