Evil
beget evil! May God save our world from their insurgents!! Amen!!!
Speaking with popular media
platform, Associated Press, a 15
year old girl, who was one of those Yazidi women that were reportedly kidnapped
in mount Sinjar, anonymously exposed
the cruelty of the dread group, ISIS. The lady narrated her heart wrenching
horrific experience in the hands of the group; how she escaped from the ISIS
militants by drugging and shooting two husbands who bought her as a slave.
According to the girl who chooses
to remain anonymous to protect her family; the kidnapped women and girls were
trafficked to ISIS strongholds, where many were raped. She allegedly revealed
to the journalists that some of the captives include girls as young as five. The
militants, according to the teenager, are still holding her two sisters. Her
father, other brothers and other male relatives have vanished, their fates
unknown.
In her words:
“They
took girls to Syria to sell them, 'I was sold in Syria. I stayed about five
days with my two sisters, then one of my sisters was sold and taken (back) to
Mosul, and I remained in Syria”.
In Raqqa, she said, she was first
married off to a Palestinian man. She claims she shot him, saying the
Palestinian's Iraqi housekeeper who was in a dispute with the man helped her by
giving her a gun. She fled, but she had nowhere to run. So she went to the only
place she knew, she said - the house where she was first held with the other
girls in Raqqa.
There, the militants did not
recognize her and sold her off again - for $1,000 to a Saudi fighter, she said.
The Saudi militant took her to a house where he lived with other fighters.
"He
told me, 'I'm going to change your name to Abeer, so your mother doesn't
recognize you,'" she said. "'You'll become Muslim, then I will marry
you.' But I refused to become a Muslim and that's why I fled".
She said she saw the fighters at
time taking a powdered drug. So she poured it into tea she served to the Saudi
and the other men, causing them to fall asleep. Then she fled the house.
She found a man who would drive
her to Turkey to meet her brother. Her brother then borrowed $2,000 from
friends to pay a smuggler to get them both back to Iraq. They ended up in
Maqluba, a tiny roadside hamlet just outside the Kurdish city of Dahuk, where
several other Yazidi families are staying.
The other women who spoke to The
AP described difficult conditions, where the militant fighters would deprive
them of enough food, water or even a place to sit. They all reported having
seen dozens of other Yazidi women and children as young as 5 years old in
captivity, and they all said that they have relatives who are still missing.
Amsha Ali, a 19-year-old, said
she was taken from Sinjar to Mosul. Ali was around six months pregnant at the
time. The last she saw of her husband and other men in her family as she was being
dragged off, was the scene of the militants forcing them to lie on the ground,
apparently to shoot them. Ali agreed to be identified, saying she wanted the
ordeals of the women to be known.
In Mosul, she said, she and other
women were taken to a house full of ISIS fighters to be married off. "Each
of them took one of us for themselves," she said. She too was given to a
fighter. She said she was never raped by the man - likely because of her
pregnancy, she said - but she witnessed other girls being raped.
After several weeks, she was able
to slip out of a bathroom window at night and escape. A Mosul resident who
found her in the streets helped her get out of the city to nearby Kurdish
territory on Aug. 28, she said. She said she tried to convince other women to
flee with her, but they were too afraid. "Because they were so terrified,
they are left there and now I know nothing about them," .
Now Ali is with her father and a
surviving sister living in an unfinished building in the town of Sharia, where
some 5,000 Yazidi refugees live, also near Dahuk.
"The
killing was not the hardest thing for me,"
"Even though they forced my husband, brother-in-law and
father-in-law on the ground to be murdered - it was painful - but marrying (the
militant) was the worst. It was hardest thing for me."
