“In the camp, we were so happy that we were helped, but no regular people or other party members were entering the camp, only PYD and YPG members. Later, we found out that they hinder other parties or people of Syrian Kurdistan to help Yazidi Refugees because they wanted all help to be provided only through PYD and YPG members,” said the refugee youth. “After few hours, PYD and YPG members told Yazidi refugees that they had to send back their children to the Kurdistan Region because once they return, they will be disrespected and insulted, claiming that Kurdish Peshmerga forces will disrespect them and question them for why they didn’t defend Sinjar and left the town. They told us that we have to know Peshmerga forces betrayed Yazidi people and they hate Yazidis as well. They made and spread so many rumors about Peshmerga and the Kurdistan Region,” added the Yazidi refugee youth.

They also attempted to make a special force from Syrian Kurdistan youths and Sinjar youths under the name of Sinjar’s Protection Units (YPS) claiming that Sinjar people,” said the Yazidi refugee youth. Media close to PYD, YPG and Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) announced that YPS have been established under the leadership of Kawa Sinjari to protect and defend Sinjar town from IS militants.
