The voice of the Yazidi minority was heard thanks to Iraqi MP Vian Dakhil, who called out to the entire world, decrying the fate of her people under the control of the Islamic State (IS). However, other Iraqi minorities live under similar — or even worse — circumstances, but have nobody to voice their concerns to the world. Instead, they face their seemingly inevitable fates under the control of IS.
Iraq is home to some of the world's rarest minorities, many of whose very existence will be threatened if their situation further deteriorates under IS oppression and violence in Ninevah.
