YazidiNews journalist and cameraman Salman Bashar talks about the situation in Sinjar, the return of people to Sinjar, how many Yezidi refugees have been saved from the Al-Hol and other camps in Syria and what help is offered to the survivors when they return.


There are still 2,700 Ezidis in Al-Hol and other camps in northeastern Syria. But most of them are afraid to identify themselves as Ezidis in of fear of ISIS widows, children and ISIS members in Al-Hol camp.

"They (ISIS) threaten Ezidis with death and tens of killing incidents have already happened in the camp", Mr Bashar told SBS Kurdish.
