FYF, Sinjar Academy, Youth Bridge host Yezidi Genocide commemoration event

The Free Yezidi Foundation, Sinjar Academy, and Youth Bridge Development Organization held an in-person commemoration event at FYF’s Enterprise & Training Center in Khanke. The event included displays by Yezidi artists and statements by Yezidi civilians and UN and diplomatic spokespeople. Mahdi Murad opened the ceremony with his poem:

“We have lived eight years as if they were one day. We all became orphans after August 3rd. We don’t want to live a jungle life where the strong eat the weak… the young have lost years of their lives.”
