The Yezidi community in Australia commemorates the eighth anniversary of the massacre committed by IS. On August 3, 2014, the Yezidis were attacked by ISIS in Sinjar, and as a result thousands of women, men and children were kidnapped. Salim Hussein tells us that after eight years of the massacre, the Yezidis remain in a dire situation and scattered all over the world.
