Sun over Şengal: Lecture and exciting insights in Lübeck!

Lübeck, Deutschland - On May 16, 2025, the opening event of the lecture trip "Sun via Şengal" took place in the Lübeck soli center. This event marks the beginning of an important information campaign organized by an international youth delegation. The delegation plans to visit around 20 cities in Germany by mid -June to clarify the socio -political developments and the history of the genocide to the Ezid: inside. This year the planned genocide is annoyed by the so -called Islamic State (IS) for the tenth time, which began on August 3, 2014 and led to one of the darkest chapters for the êzîd.

The reports of the delegation aim to raise awareness of the devastating effects of the genocide and to collect donations for the construction of a youth sports center in South Kurdistan. The Ezid: Inside are one of the oldest monotheistic religious communities in the world and their traditions are deeply anchored in the cultural memory. Knowledge tradition is carried out by songs and rituals, with the colors white and black symbolically standing for peace and grief.

The consequences of the genocide

After the attack of IS in Şengal, thousands of people were murdered or enslaved. Women and children were particularly affected who got into the catch of slave owners. The Peschmerga of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (PDK) left the region, which led to the murder of many people. In the “Red School”, young women were cataloged, kidnapped and forced to work for forced labor. The majority of the survivors fled into the Şengal Mountains under extreme conditions; Many died on the run or took their lives. But the intervention of the PKK and YPG/YPJ opened an escape corridor that saved numerous people.

Despite the continuing violence, for example through Turkish army attacks on the infrastructure in Şengal, the Ezid: inside show an impressive resilience. You have started to build a democratic self -government that is inspired by a concept of democratic confederalism. This includes a strong emphasis on gender justice, grassroots democracy and self -organization in the communities.

political developments and challenges

A central aspect of the newly created structure are thematic commissions that deal with the areas of women, education and health. In this context, Xanesor's autonomy was founded and the 5th congress of the autonomy councils took place in 2023. The women's movement Tajê and the organized youth play a major role in this social progress and contribute to sustainable change.

But the situation of the Ezid: Inside in Germany remains tense: over 200,000 live in the Federal Republic, many of them are threatened by deportation. In addition, they have to be aware of the critical role of Germany in the events at that time, since more than 1,000 Germans joined IS, while arms exports to Turkey support the attacks on Şengal. The delegation therefore calls for a comprehensive responsibility of Germany, both in the persecution of the perpetrators and in the support of re -enactment.

The continued work of the delegation and the lectures in Germany will help to raise awareness of the persecution and challenges of the Ezid: inside. Solidarity in the diaspora has established itself as an important element in the fight against religious persecution and patriarchal violence. The next lecture on the experiences of the democratic revolution in the Şengal will take place on June 7th in the Community Art Center in Mannheim, where the dialogue will continue about past and current challenges.
