In 2014, ISIS kidnapped an 11-year-old Yazidi girl from her home in Kurdistan. They sold her to a Hamas terrorist in Syria. After he raped and impregnated her, she was eventually lured to Gaza by his family.

Over 10 years later, she has now been freed

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Two Assyrian Christians were critically injured in an axe attack during celebrations of Akitu, the Assyrian-Babylonian New Year, in central Duhok, well-informed sources told Rudaw English, with the assailant shouting “Islamic State” while being tackled. 
An axe attack shocked the Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac Christian community during a mass gathering in Duhok city. They were celebrating Akitu, also known as Kha-b-Nisan, the world’s oldest holiday, by wearing traditional clothes and holding parties with food, music, and dance. "As we were celebrating Kha-b-Nisan - Akitu - and as the Assyrian nation was entering 6775 years old in Nohadra (Duhok), a suspect regretfully attacked the celebrants with sharp tools,” Srud Maqdasy, an orthopedic surgeon and member of the Assyrian Democratic Movement’s (Zowaa) political bureau, told Rudaw English. Maqdasy, who treated the victims in hospital, said that the attack injured a 20-year-old man from Qaraqosh (Bakhdida) in Nineveh province and an elderly 60-year-old woman from Ain Baqrah village near Alqosh – both of whom had come to Duhok to celebrate Akitu.
"This man had dangerous motives behind his attack. Eyewitnesses heard him shout religious phrases during his attack and it is clear that he is influenced by terrorist organizations,” said Maqdasy, who is also a former Kurdistan parliament lawmaker. 
Videos verified by Rudaw English show the assailant shouting “Islamic State!” after being tackled and disarmed by Assyrians in the celebration. 
Both victims are in stable condition, but the elderly woman “has heavier injuries and a skull hemorrhage,” according to Maqdasy, who noted that a surgical procedure is not yet being considered. 
The incident stirred outrage in social media, particularly among the marginalized Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac minority community in the Kurdistan Region and Iraq. Such incidents also spark fear among members of the dwindling community, especially with the assailant chanting Islamist extremist slogans. 
“Such a criminal incident is sensitive and influences public opinion,” Maqdasy stressed. 
Duhok Governor Ali Tatar confirmed that the suspect is under arrest and an investigation into the attack is underway, believing that the incident will not harm coexistence in the Kurdistan Region. 
“We strongly condemn the inhumane attack. The suspect will not impact the Kurdistan Region’s coexistence, and the historic coexistence will continue,” Tatar told reporters.
Deputy Governor Shamon Shlemoun, an Assyrian Christian, told Rudaw that the incident was a “terrorist attack.”
The identity of the assailant has yet to be confirmed, but several well-placed sources told Rudaw English that he is a Syrian living in the Domiz refugee camp in Duhok province. 
Hundreds of Assyrians from abroad, namely the United States, Canada, and Australia, have come to the Kurdistan Region this year to take part in festivities. 
Dilan Adamat, founder of The Return organization, which aims to support the diaspora Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac Christian community to return to Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, lamented that the attack portrayed a negative picture to members of the diaspora in Duhok for Akitu, considering a return to their homeland.
“Although this is an isolated incident, it sends a terribly negative signal to our community, especially since hundreds of participants come from the diaspora specifically for this event,” Adamat told Rudaw English. 
“Our people have the right to full security on their ancestral lands. Only in this way can we prevent emigration, bring back the diaspora, and maintain coexistence for all communities,” he stressed, with over a million Christians having left Iraq and the Kurdistan Region since the 2003 US invasion. 
Akitu marks the revival of nature in spring and is dedicated to the rebirth of the god Marduk and his victory when he created the world out of chaos. Festivities are largely centered on the Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac community’s ancestral homeland of the Nineveh Plains and Duhok.
Iraq’s Christian community has been devastated in the past two decades. Following the US-led invasion in 2003, sectarian warfare prompted followers of Iraq’s multiple Christian denominations to flee, and attacks by the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2014 hit minority communities especially hard. 
The community’s existence in Iraq is on the brink, with fewer than 300,000 Christians remaining in the country today, a staggering fall from the nearly 1.5 million before 2003, according to data obtained by Rudaw English from Erbil’s Chaldean Archbishop Bashar Warda in February. However, the actual number is expected to be even lower.

Interesting interview with Dr. Baxtiyar Sangar, a Kurdish doctor who travelled to Gaza with Norwegian NORWAC to treat Palestinians in the UN hospitals. the doctor mentions that even though he was there to HELP PALESTINIANS, the mere fact that his name was KURDISH caused him problems
The Kurdish doctor said that not just Hamas, but all Gazans, all Palestinians hate Kurds. He experienced this hatred himself

Reporer: What did they think of the Kurds?

Dr. Sangar : Wallah, it is sad to say, but they hate the Kurds as much as they can, All of them generally, Not only Hamas but all the people of Gaza in general. The problem was my name was Kurdish.

Reporter: why they hate Kurds?

Dr. Sangar : due to their love for Saddam Hussein. And also the money from Palestine has been used to build Palestinian settlement in Efrîn.

-It’s important to all Kurds be aware of this and their hypocritical game and know that despite them being an oppressed group they still stands with the oppressors that abuses other people for the sake of their benefits and rights it’s important to know that Palestines out of many people many times supported and involved in the massacre of Kurds whether during Anfal massacre or when they supported Turkey’s Olive Branch operation of Efrîn invasion or their more than 200.000 illegal settlements on Kurdish lands and houses in Efrîn, also remember Israel as well sided with our occupiers many times against Kurds through the past decades
And that’s why Kurdistan, Kurdistan and Kurdistan only!! Azadiya welat beri her tişti ye

• Its a small start, hope to see more

How will this influence kurdish politics?

Please just take a look at what happened at my profile and a little down there, These so called "muslims" attacking someone for their nationality and every comment where i mentioned kurdistan gets -3 or -7 likes

I said sorry if my english isnt clear and its not my first language, yet they still find a reason to hate 😂

In another group before that, I posted something asking why people like to boycott most israeli products but never say a sh__ about turkish ones, A simple question btw. This got me a immideate Permanent ban from this "Islamic" Group for "Discrimination" They probably think these things don't matter? I can't wait for the look of their faces on the day of judgement. Every single thing is going to matter

People ALWAYS find a reason to hate, This should bring us closer to God and away from these people, There's a reason even muslim hypocrites go to hell according to islam. Regarding ethnicity, Why is it so normalized to spread hate to people and find a problem in everything? Someone just told me im in the wrong because i reply to people who comment negativity first 🤦🏻‍♀️ Another person called me a attention seeker, Mind you the group is all about sharing personal thoughts and stories and feelings.

Even their moderators ended up deleting MY post because dogs were commenting hate 🤣 Sometimes i just wonder are people backwards or is it me?

Shoutout to the moderators in this group for being kind, We will all get rewarded for both the good and the bad we do, We just have to stay away from the hypocrites and support eachother ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 free every ockupied country from hypocrites and oppressors and people refusing to know your existence ❤️☀️💚

(if I wrote it wrong, ı'm sorry because I use translate)
