Islamic State (IS) fighters swept into the Iraqi city of Sinjar in August 2014, forcing Kurdish peshmerga forces to retreat. The city, primarily made up of Yazidis, a religious minority with roots going back thousands of years in the region, was soon overran with IS militants. They then set about terrorizing the Yazidis, who they see as apostates and devil worshippers who need to be cleansed.
Tens of thousands of people fled, with many ending up on in dire straits on nearby Mount Sinjar, creating an urgent humanitarian situation that led to US President Barack Obama ordering American jets to bomb IS for the first time. Thousands of Yazidis were killed by IS, with women being raped and enslaved to be sold as property. Mass graves are still being discovered.
Kurdish militias have battled for Sinjar since then without much progress. And up until now the city has remained under IS control.
Over the course of two days in mid-November, VICE News embedded with peshmerga forces as they retook the city in a massive push involving 7,500 troops, with the hopes of cutting off the resupply routes between IS territory in Syria and Iraq. Snaking through the desert in large convoys with heavy artillery and tanks, and backed by international coalition air strikes, they faced little resistance besides snipers, mortars, and IEDs as IS fled and the city was taken back.

When former Army Ranger Chuck Holton last visited Iraqi Kurdistan, the city of Sinjar was in the hands of ISIS forces, being hammered by coalition airstrikes as Kurdish Peshmerga forces prepared to launch an offensive. Now ISIS has retreated to a position outside Sinjar, leaving the largely ruined city in Peshmerga hands - and full of explosive traps. The Frontlines team talks to the brave fighters who are taking their homeland back from the terrorists, the nonprofit workers who are here to help, and the Yezidi refugees still waiting to return to the shattered remains of their homes.

Iraq day 8. We spent the day documenting the destruction caused by ISIS in the city of Sinjar. I got to explore the front lines, go in tunnels dug by ISIS, and see first hand the horrors of living in a war-torn region. Words cannot express the devastation, but I tried my best to capture this in video form. I pray that this world will never forget the brutality and darkness of senseless hatred.

Sinjar
Sinjar (Arabic: سنجار, Sinjar; Latin: Singara), also known as Shingal (Kurdish: Şengal/Şingal/Şingar/شنگار/ شنگال,Syriac: ܫܝܓܳܪ, Shiggor) and formerly Sanjár, is a town in Sinjar District, Nineveh Province, Iraq near Mount Sinjar. Its population in 2013 was estimated at 88,023. The town is mainly inhabited by Yazidis and Shingali Muslims with Arab and Assyrian minorities.
The important Chermera temple (meaning 40 Men) is found at the highest peak of the Sinjar Mountains.
History
Peutinger's map of the inhabited world known to the Roman geographers depicts Singara as located west of the Trogoditi. Persi. (Latin: Troglodytae Persiae, "Persian troglodytes") who inhabited the territory around Mount Sinjar. By the medieval Arabs, Sinjar was reckoned as part of the province of Diyār Rabīʿa, the "abode of the Rabīʿa" tribe. The nearby Plain of Sanjár (now the Nineveh Plains) was the site of the determination of the degree by al-Khwārizmī and other astronomers during the reign of the caliph al-Mamun. The city boasted a famous Assyrian church in the 8th century.

Sinjar District
The Sinjar District (Kurdish: Şengal/Şingal/Şingar) is a district of the Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. The district seat is the town of Sinjar. The district has two subdistricts, al-Shemal and al-Qayrawan. The district is one of two major population centers for Yazidi people, the other being Shekhan District.
History
Sinjar District was created in 1934 by Royal decree. After the 1935 Yazidi revolt, the district was placed under military control.
The al-Shamal district, originally formed in 1936, was abolished in 1987, and its area was added to Sinjar. Qayrawan was formed as a district in 1977, was also abolished in 1987, and was added to the district. In 1994, al-Shamal and Qayrawan were reformed as a sub-districts.
In 2007, several explosions set off by al-Qaeda in Iraq killed hundreds of Yazidis in Shengal.
In August 2014, the Siege of Mount Sinjar raged between Sunni militants of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Kurdish Peshmerga, leading to a mass exodus of residents, especially from the Yazidi community, branded by the Islamic State as "devil worshipers", after the Peshmerga was defeated. The New York Times reported that ISIL killed dozens of Yazidi men and forced their women to marry jihadi fighters."

When former Army Ranger Chuck Holton last visited Iraqi Kurdistan, the city of Sinjar was in the hands of ISIS forces, being hammered by coalition airstrikes as Kurdish Peshmerga forces prepared to launch an offensive. Now ISIS has retreated to a position outside Sinjar, leaving the largely ruined city in Peshmerga hands - and full of explosive traps. The Frontlines team talks to the brave fighters who are taking their homeland back from the terrorists, the nonprofit workers who are here to help, and the Yezidi refugees still waiting to return to the shattered remains of their homes.
