INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Shafaq News/ The Sinjar Resistance Units (YBS) in a statement on Tuesday accused Mustafa al-Kadhimi's caretaker government of executing a
Turkish agenda in the aftermath of the recent confrontations in northern Sinjar, taking an aim toward the Kurdistan Democratic Party
(KDP)."For a while, al-Kadhimi's government has made many attempts to attack our people and us," the YBS command said, "every time, they try
We spared no effort to prevent this from happening and dealt with the situation with the utmost sensitivity."The statement said that the
Iraqi forces waged two consecutive attacks on YBS sites in northern Sinjar, but "our people, along with their forces, demonstrated a huge
resistance and made a move to hinder the situation from escalating
We were forced to protect ourselves and our people.""Despite three rounds of talks between us and al-Kadhimi's government, they continued to
deploy troops and heavy weaponry in the northern territory of the Sinjar mountains.""In order to prevent these weapons from entering the
residential compounds, our forces had to block some roads
However, we were attacked again by artillery, tanks, and all the weapons al-Kadhimi's government has.""Al-Kadhimi's government is waging
those attacks per the orders of the Turkish state, with aid from the Kurdistan Democratic Party," the YBS statement said, "the political in
Sinjar is political rather than military.""Al-Kadhimi's attempts pave the road for invading an Iraqi land
The Iraqi people shall be aware of this matter and shall have a position toward it.""Attempting to disarm the Yazidis and end the presence
of the forces, at a time Iraq is experiencing political and social problems that set the ground for extremist movements, is perilous to the
government, and Yazidis in particular, and enables the replication of the 2014 scenario."The statement adduced the long history of the
Yazidi community with extermination and Genocides to justify "our right to organize ourselves at the military and political levels.""We will
continue to protect ourselves and we will not leave our community without a power of its own," the statement continued, "we prefer to solve
the problems with the democratic means
We are not against the Iraqi army, but we do not approve using the army for the sake of an external agenda."
