Shengal (Sinjar) in northern Iraq remains shaped by the 2014 genocide carried out by Islamic State against the Yazidi people, when thousands were killed, women were enslaved, and communities were uprooted. In the aftermath, local self-defense forces and grassroots councils formed to protect the community and build self-determination.
For years, Shengal has been a zone of contested power between Baghdad, the Kurdistan Regional Government, militias, and Turkey.
In the last few days, Iraqi army forces have set up a new checkpoint without prior coordination with local Yazidi security forces — raising fears of renewed tensions. This expansion comes amid regional pressures and diplomatic efforts to manage the disputed status of the area, but local voices fear that more militarization could undermine fragile stability.
Shengal still symbolizes an ongoing struggle against genocide, external domination, and self-rule — where the fight is not just about security, but about political autonomy and dignity.

🎥Who Are You? A New Music Video from the Resistance for Rojava! ✨
In January 2026, as the Rojava Revolution faced brutal attacks, the Kurdish people and thousands of internationalists standing with them mobilized around the world to stop the aggression.
The aim of the offensive was not only physical but also ideological: to attack the values and principles at the heart of the revolution—women’s liberation and the brotherhood and sisterhood of peoples.
The mass mobilization succeeded in putting an end to the attacks and protecting these values.
From the heart of the mobilization, internationalists wrote this song that we are sharing with you today.
Share it around you!
Full lyrics:
Who are you who knows the truth ?
That has the strength to reclaim history from the roots of humanity
It starts from a mother song in the silence
The melody of resistance
Joining the call of Rojava
We get close to your voice Rêber APO

🌳The Tree of Freedom – An internationalist poem from the Zagros Mountains!
Until today in some french villages an old tradition continues. Coming from the Zagros mountains, at the dawn of civilisations, when trees were symbols of communal life.
Growing in the village's heart, it was the place of celebrations, discussions, assemblies, meetings and contemplations...
