Today we are discussing a very sensitive and complex issue - the arrival of a second group of women and children known as IS brides who have returned to Australia from camps in Syria. The Yazidi community - one of the groups most brutally targeted by IS - has warned that the arrival of these women could rekindle painful memories for the Yazidis. Hassan Ibrahim, from the Yazidi Youth Association, joins SBS Kurdish to discuss the impact of the return of the women and children known as IS brides
In the interview, Hassan Ibrahim says many Yazidis are concerned and upset by the arrival of this group who were associated with the Islamic State (IS). He says the pain and trauma the Yazidis endured under IS is still fresh in their minds and the arrival of these individuals could bring those memories back to life. Hassan explains that many Yazidis do not believe that IS extremist ideology can be easily changed, and they also want the Australian government to take action and hold these individuals accountable in accordance with the law. He also said that the Yazidi community was not consulted before the return of these people.
