Yazidi refugee camps

vendredi 26 février 2021 à 01:00

Many Yazidis cannot go home to Shinjar, and continue to live in dismal refugee camps. With Covid-19 on top of that, some young people are committing suicide.

If the wrecker had continued the campaign to eradicate PISSI, perhaps more of the Yazidis could go home.

I am surprised by the statement that some Yazidis remain prisoners of PISSI. PISSI no longer controls territory; where can it hold its prisoners. The statement is so brief and sketchy that it is hard to make sense of. The reference given does not seem to say anything about this.

Assad-related torture verdict

Jeep Cherokee Issues

The Cherokee tribe asked Jeep to stop using its name as the name of a line of products.

I think businesses should have to get explicit permission to use the name of any person, ethnic group or community in commercial publicity.
