Yazidis kill Arabs in Sinjar who helped ISIS to eliminate the minority community

#yazidis #sinjar #islamicstate It is a retaliation of sorts as members of Iraq's Yazidi minority carry out revenge attacks on Sunni Muslim villagers who, they believe, had helped Islamic State to commit atrocities on their community last year as reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 12 February 2015.
Arabs who are living in Sinjar in Iraq's Nineveh province have revealed that groups of heavily armed Yazidis have made four raids on the villages over the past two weeks killing at least 21 people and leaving a further 17 missing.
It may be recalled that Yazidis, whose ancient religion has elements of Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam, had suffered grievously in the ISIS offensive last year and hundreds of them were killed and thousands captured, enslaved and raped by the Sunni Muslim militants. All because they considered Yazidis as worshippers of the Devil.
With the ISIS having been driven out from Sinjar, the Yazidis are gradually returning to their homes and uncovering mass graves one after another – sordid evidence of the atrocities committed by the ISIS and, therefore, some of the Yazidis are striking back.
It is miso unfortunate that Arabs and Yazidis, who once were friends and farmed together could never bring back Sinjar to its earlier glory before the arrival of Islamic State.
