'I met my IS captor on a German street'
bbc ^ | 08/17/2018 | Victoria Bisset & Lyse Doucet

Ashwaq was only 14 when Islamic State fighters stormed into northern Iraq, including the heartland of the Yazidi people.

They took thousands of women as sex slaves, including Ashwaq - sold for $100 to a man named Abu Humam. Raped and beaten, she managed to escape three months later and then went to Germany with her mother and one brother.

A few months ago, on the street outside a supermarket, she heard someone call out her name. She says it was Abu Humam - and he said he knew where she lived.

Düzen Tekkal, an activist and the founder of Hawar.Help, a Berlin-based organisation which campaigns for Yazidi rights, says she has heard of several cases where female Yazidi refugees recognised IS fighters in Germany.

Ashwaq herself says she heard similar accounts from other Yazidi girls who had escaped the jihadists. Not all cases are reported to the authorities, however.

Back in Kurdistan now living in a Yazidi camp, Ashwaq still wants to continue her education but both she and her family also want to leave the country.

"We're scared of the people of IS," her father told the BBC.

her experience in Germany has had a profound impact on Ashwaq.

"If the world was destroyed, I would not go to Germany again," she said.

“...She says it was Abu Humam - and he said he knew where she lived....”

In Texas, he would have just signed his death warrant.

Thank you for posting this. It is very important that the world be made aware that this “Great Evil” (genocide) still exists and who is committing it.

Currently the center of ISIS’s ideology is in Turkey. And Turkey has never admitted to any of their massacres or genocides. Not even the Armenian Genocide from which the name “genocide” came.

There are resident’s of Texas who support Erdogan the Islamist dictator of Turkey who supports ISIS and al-Qaeda. I’ve encountered a few on the Web and have been followed on Twitter by some of them. They even pose as Kurd supporters, but pursue opponents of Erdogan in the US.

They are a threat even here.

Yes, it will take great effort and years to uproot the damage of 8 years of the Obamanation.
