Baghdad Helping PKK Expand Power Over Sinjar: Official –  Baghdad is posing a threat to Sinjar by helping PKK

  Basnews English – 28/11/2016 –  SINJAR — Baghdad’s wrong policy has led Sinjar district into a treacherous situation as it helped illegitimate forces such as Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to settle in the area.

Naif Saido, the mayor of Sinuni sub-district in Sinjar told BasNews that PKK is expanding and consolidating its scope of power in the district with support from Baghdad and the Shi’ite militia Hashd al-Shaabi.”Armed conflicts will possibly break out between Sinjar people and the illegitimate forces in the district if Baghdad continues its policy of supporting those forces,” said the official, arguing that Yezidis can no longer remain silent about PKK’s act of taking the Yezidi girls to Mount Qandil for military activities. Moreover, the people of Sinjar won’t accept their land to be occupied by the PKK forces preventing the IDPs from returning to their homes, he said.

The official explained that many IDPs are wishing to return to their areas, however they are unwilling to do so fearing that those illegal forces will recruit their children. He added that Baghdad is posing a threat to Sinjar by helping PKK widen its power over the district. www.mesop.de
