Sinjar

Sinjar is a region in northern Iraq, home to the Yazidi community, an ancient religious minority. It is known for its mountain range and cultural significance. In 2014, Sinjar gained international attention when ISIS militants attacked, leading to mass killings and the displacement of thousands of Yazidis. The area remains a symbol of resilience and suffering, with ongoing efforts to rebuild and restore stability. Sinjar’s strategic location and diverse population highlight its importance in regional history and ongoing security challenges.
