Members of Iraq’s Yazidis sect follow an ancient religion, which incorporates elements of Islam and indigenous beliefs. After the Islamic State overran parts of northern Iraq, tens of thousands of Yazidis were forced into the Sinjar mountain range, where Islamic State militants — who consider the Yazidi devil worshippers — surrounded them.
President Obama claimed on August 14 that the US military intervention in Iraq broke the siege of the trapped Yazidi civilians in the Sinjar mountains. But the Yazidi themselves disagree. Instead, they are adamant that they owe their rescue from the surrounding Islamic State militants to the Syrian Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG). The YPG has been fighting the Islamic State longer and harder than any other group in Syria, and pushed a narrow escape route deep through Islamic State territory to rescue the Yazidis.
VICE News travelled through the desert corridor to ascertain the true story of the Yazidis’ last minute escape from the Islamic State.

Despite international condemnations, the ISIL Takfiri terrorists remained busy eliminating minorities, starting with Christians a month ago and now with the Izadi Kurds. Thousands of Izadi Kurds have already been killed and thousands more fled their homes once ISIL entered Sinjar. Still thousands of others are still trapped with no food or water in the area with 50 degrees Celsius temperature.
The UN called for an immediate aid to those trapped in the mountainous track and the US dropped aid package to the besieged minorities. On Tuesday, a helicopter on rescue mission crashed with 20 people on board causing the death of the pilot while others including an Izadi parliament member Vian Dakhil sustained injuries. The ISIL terrorists have reportedly taken the female captives to an unknown location after killing their close relatives.

US strikes spur Kurd fightback against Iraq jihadists!!!
Iraq's Kurdish peshmerga, buoyed by US air strikes, reclaimed two towns from jihadist fighters Sunday, while Western powers ramped up efforts to save displaced civilians stranded on a mountain. The third straight day of strikes by US jets and drones brought the first sign that US President Barack Obama's decision to return to Iraq could turn the tide on two months of jihadist expansion. "The peshmerga have liberated Makhmur and Gwer," peshmerga spokesman Halgord Hekmat told AFP, adding that "US aerial support helped". Another official confirmed the Kurdish troops had recaptured the towns, which Islamic State (IS) militants had seized days earlier, bringing them within striking distance of Kurdish capital Arbil. The past week saw jihadist fighters make dramatic gains, seizing Iraq's largest dam, repeatedly defeating the peshmerga and taking over large swathes of land. The US air strikes which Obama announced on Thursday stopped the rot just as the militants moved close enough to the autonomous Kurdish region to cause a panic in Arbil, where some US personnel are stationed. IS attacks have displaced 200,000 people since August 3, including all the residents of Iraq's largest Christian town Qaraqosh. Among the others affected were a large contingent of Iraq's small Yazidi minority, whose main hub Sinjar was attacked last weekend. According to leaders and witnesses, several dozen men were executed and groups of women abducted, although reliable information from IS-held areas is scarce. When the militants entered Sinjar, tens of thousands of people ran up the nearby mountain to hide. Thousands were still there a week later, trying to survive in searing heat with little food or water. The siege of Mount Sinjar, which local legend holds as the final resting place of Noah's Ark, as and a poignant appeal by Yazidi MP Vian Dakhil to save her community from extermination have captured the West's attention. Obama justified his decision to send warplanes back over Iraqi skies three years after the last troops pulled out partly because of the risk of an impending genocide. he US intervention appeared to yield early results on that front too as officials said around 20,000 people had escaped the siege and been escorted to safety by Kurdish troops since Saturday. "20,000 to 30,000 have managed to flee Mount Sinjar but there are still thousands on the mountain," Dakhil told AFP. "The passage isn't 100 percent safe. There is still a risk." Foreign aid groups operating in the region confirmed several thousand survivors of the Mount Sinjar siege had transited through Syria and crossed back into Iraq, many of them traumatised and dehydrated. US and Iraqi cargo planes have been air dropping food and water over Mount Sinjar, a barren 60-kilometre (35-mile) ridge. Britain joined the effort overnight Saturday with its first air drop of food and water. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also visited Iraq on Sunday to oversee the delivery of France's first aid consignment, but stressed Paris would not get involved militarily. At pains to assure war-weary Americans he was not being dragged into a new Iraqi quagmire, Obama put the onus on Iraqi politicians to form an inclusive government and turn the tide on jihadist expansion which has brought Iraq closer than ever to breakup. His comments were yet another nudge for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to step aside and allow for a consensus government by abandoning what looks like an increasingly desperate bid to seek a third term. Obama did not give a timetable for the US military intervention but said Saturday that Iraq's problems would not be solved in weeks. "This is going to be a long-term project," he said.

Sinjar Mountains
The Sinjar MountainsArabic: جبل سنجار jabal Sinjār; also Shingal\Shengar Mountains; Kurdish: Çiyayên Şengalê چیای شەنگال/شەنگار) are a 100-kilometre-long (62 mi) mountain range that runs east to west, rising above the surrounding alluvial steppe plains in northwestern Iraq to an elevation of 1,463 meters (4,800 ft). The highest segment of these mountains, about 75 km (47 mi) long, lies in Nineveh Governorate, currently partly administered by the Iraqi Kurdistan. The western and lower segment of these mountains lies in Syria which is about 25 km (16 mi) long and controlled by the de facto autonomous Syrian Kurdistan. The city of Sinjar is just south of the range. These mountains are regarded as sacred by the Yazidis.
Geology
The Sinjar Mountains are a spectacular example of a breached anticlinal structure. These mountains consist of an asymmetrical, doubly plunging anticline, which is called the Sinjar Anticline, with a steep northern limb, gentle southern limb and a northerly vergence. The northern side of the anticline is normally faulted, which results in the repetition of the sequence of sedimentary strata exposed in it. The deeply eroded Sinjar Anticline exposes a number of sedimentary formations ranging from Late Cretaceous to Early Neogene in age. The Late Cretaceous Shiranish Formation outcrops within the middle of the Sinjar Mountains. The flanks of this mountain range consist of outward dipping strata of the Sinjar and Aliji formations (Paleocene to Early Eocene); Jaddala Formation (Middle to Late Eocene); Serikagne Formation (Early Miocene); and Jeribe Formation (Early Miocene). The Sinjar Mountains are surrounded by exposures of Middle and Late Miocene sedimentary strata

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.

Despite international condemnations, the ISIL Takfiri terrorists remained busy eliminating minorities, starting with Christians a month ago and now with the Izadi Kurds. Thousands of Izadi Kurds have already been killed and thousands more fled their homes once ISIL entered Sinjar. Still thousands of others are still trapped with no food or water in the area with 50 degrees Celsius temperature.
The UN called for an immediate aid to those trapped in the mountainous track and the US dropped aid package to the besieged minorities. On Tuesday, a helicopter on rescue mission crashed with 20 people on board causing the death of the pilot while others including an Izadi parliament member Vian Dakhil sustained injuries. The ISIL terrorists have reportedly taken the female captives to an unknown location after killing their close relatives.

US strikes spur Kurd fightback against Iraq jihadists!!!
Iraq's Kurdish peshmerga, buoyed by US air strikes, reclaimed two towns from jihadist fighters Sunday, while Western powers ramped up efforts to save displaced civilians stranded on a mountain. The third straight day of strikes by US jets and drones brought the first sign that US President Barack Obama's decision to return to Iraq could turn the tide on two months of jihadist expansion. "The peshmerga have liberated Makhmur and Gwer," peshmerga spokesman Halgord Hekmat told AFP, adding that "US aerial support helped". Another official confirmed the Kurdish troops had recaptured the towns, which Islamic State (IS) militants had seized days earlier, bringing them within striking distance of Kurdish capital Arbil. The past week saw jihadist fighters make dramatic gains, seizing Iraq's largest dam, repeatedly defeating the peshmerga and taking over large swathes of land. The US air strikes which Obama announced on Thursday stopped the rot just as the militants moved close enough to the autonomous Kurdish region to cause a panic in Arbil, where some US personnel are stationed. IS attacks have displaced 200,000 people since August 3, including all the residents of Iraq's largest Christian town Qaraqosh. Among the others affected were a large contingent of Iraq's small Yazidi minority, whose main hub Sinjar was attacked last weekend. According to leaders and witnesses, several dozen men were executed and groups of women abducted, although reliable information from IS-held areas is scarce. When the militants entered Sinjar, tens of thousands of people ran up the nearby mountain to hide. Thousands were still there a week later, trying to survive in searing heat with little food or water. The siege of Mount Sinjar, which local legend holds as the final resting place of Noah's Ark, as and a poignant appeal by Yazidi MP Vian Dakhil to save her community from extermination have captured the West's attention. Obama justified his decision to send warplanes back over Iraqi skies three years after the last troops pulled out partly because of the risk of an impending genocide. he US intervention appeared to yield early results on that front too as officials said around 20,000 people had escaped the siege and been escorted to safety by Kurdish troops since Saturday. "20,000 to 30,000 have managed to flee Mount Sinjar but there are still thousands on the mountain," Dakhil told AFP. "The passage isn't 100 percent safe. There is still a risk." Foreign aid groups operating in the region confirmed several thousand survivors of the Mount Sinjar siege had transited through Syria and crossed back into Iraq, many of them traumatised and dehydrated. US and Iraqi cargo planes have been air dropping food and water over Mount Sinjar, a barren 60-kilometre (35-mile) ridge. Britain joined the effort overnight Saturday with its first air drop of food and water. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also visited Iraq on Sunday to oversee the delivery of France's first aid consignment, but stressed Paris would not get involved militarily. At pains to assure war-weary Americans he was not being dragged into a new Iraqi quagmire, Obama put the onus on Iraqi politicians to form an inclusive government and turn the tide on jihadist expansion which has brought Iraq closer than ever to breakup. His comments were yet another nudge for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to step aside and allow for a consensus government by abandoning what looks like an increasingly desperate bid to seek a third term. Obama did not give a timetable for the US military intervention but said Saturday that Iraq's problems would not be solved in weeks. "This is going to be a long-term project," he said.

UN Says Iraq Humanitarian Crisis At Highest Level
The United Nations says the humanitarian crisis in Iraq has reached its highest level. U.N. special representative Nickolay Mladenov said Wednesday that declaring Iraq a "Level 3 Emergency" will help trigger additional goods, funds and assets to respond to the needs of tens of thousands of people displaced by the Islamic State extremist group's offensive. He went to say that Iraq was raised to the most serious level "given the scale and complexity of the current humanitarian catastrophe." Mladenov said tens of thousands of people are reportedly still trapped on Sinjar Mountain "with health conditions quickly deteriorating." Mladenov added that the situation in Dahuk, where more than 200,000 displaced Iraqis have fled, is also of "grave concern." http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/3d281c11a96... -

Damascus, the empty city: LIFE has to go on in the middle of WAR
A strong blast has occurred in the Syrian capital Damascus, says RT's correspondent on the ground. Internet access has been cut off. According to security sources, the Syrian army has begun a counter attack to regain control of the capital.
¬RT's correspondent Maria Finoshina said it was "the loudest explosion heard in days", with internet and WI-FI access disappearing immediately afterwards.
Black smoke rose from ruined homes and three bloodied corpses lay in a square in Midan in Damascus, AFP reported.
Government forces recaptured the rebellious district of Midan in a "fierce fight" earlier in the day, Syrian State TV reported.
"Army forces have completely cleaned the area of Midan in Damascus of the remaining mercenary terrorists and have reestablished security," state television said.
"Armed elements entered neighborhoods and attacked the residents, who begged us to rescue them," the state broadcaster cited an officer, whose name was not mentioned, as saying.
"We began the recapture the day before yesterday, in the evening, and finished our work today (Friday) at dawn," the officer continued.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based watchdog, said "tanks and armed personnel carriers stormed the district", which is located in the south of the capital.
RT's correspondent twitted on her microblog that Midan used to be one of the most beautiful areas in the capital, but now, after all the battles, it is difficult to recognize.
The fighting in Midan and several other districts has forced many Syrian families to leave their houses in Damascus and flee.
Fighting in the capital has intensified over the past few days as rebels launched their most serious assault on the capital so far on Wednesday. Rebels detonated an explosive device hidden at the National Security building in the district of Rawda during a meeting, killing Syria's Defence Minister Dawoud Rajha, Gen. Assef Shawkat -- the deputy defense minister who was married to Assad's elder sister -- and Hassan Turkmani, a former defense minister who later died of wounds suffered in the blast.
Syrian intelligence Chief Hisham Bekhtyar, who also seriously injured during the attack, died in the hospital later on Friday.
The Wednesday attack which targeted members of Assad's inner circle was followed by an attack on the government headquarters carried out by Syrian rebels the next day.
Fighting continued to rage on Thursday in the al-Midan and Zahira neighbourhoods, while loud explosions were heard in Mashrou-Dumar.
It was reported on Friday morning that rebels have seized at least one check-point in the remote Sinjar mountain range near the Iraqi border, killing "22 Syrian soldiers in front of the eyes of Iraqi soldiers", AFP reposted.
The news agency also quoted Iraq's Deputy Interior Minister Adnan al-Assadi, who said that Syrian rebels took control under "all Iraq border points".
In addition, amateur video posted online showed rebels taking over the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, where they stomped on portraits of Assad.
The new wave of violence coincided with discussions in the UN Security Council concerning a resolution On Thursday Russia and China vetoed the Chapter 7 resolution drafted by Britain, which would also allow the 15-member council to authorize actions ranging from diplomatic and economic sanctions to military intervention.

The fighting in Midan and several other districts has forced many Syrian families to leave their houses in Damascus and flee.
Fighting in the capital has intensified over the past few days as rebels launched their most serious assault on the capital so far on Wednesday. Rebels detonated an explosive device hidden at the National Security building in the district of Rawda during a meeting, killing Syria's Defence Minister Dawoud Rajha, Gen. Assef Shawkat -- the deputy defense minister who was married to Assad's elder sister -- and Hassan Turkmani, a former defense minister who later died of wounds suffered in the blast.
Syrian intelligence Chief Hisham Bekhtyar, who also seriously injured during the attack, died in the hospital later on Friday.
The Wednesday attack which targeted members of Assad's inner circle was followed by an attack on the government headquarters carried out by Syrian rebels the next day.
Fighting continued to rage on Thursday in the al-Midan and Zahira neighbourhoods, while loud explosions were heard in Mashrou-Dumar.
It was reported on Friday morning that rebels have seized at least one check-point in the remote Sinjar mountain range near the Iraqi border, killing "22 Syrian soldiers in front of the eyes of Iraqi soldiers", AFP reposted.
The news agency also quoted Iraq's Deputy Interior Minister Adnan al-Assadi, who said that Syrian rebels took control under "all Iraq border points".
In addition, amateur video posted online showed rebels taking over the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, where they stomped on portraits of Assad.
The new wave of violence coincided with discussions in the UN Security Council concerning a resolution On Thursday Russia and China vetoed the Chapter 7 resolution drafted by Britain, which would also allow the 15-member council to authorize actions ranging from diplomatic and economic sanctions to military intervention.

Police have released CCTV footage showing the moment a car crashes into a college in Manchester, narrowly missing two pedestrians. The crash happened on August 9 as a grey mini was travelling along a main road towards Rochdale, when the driver lost control at a junction. The car crossed the central reservation and collided with some railings, before ploughing into the college. The two pedestrians had a lucky escape and can be seen looking on in shock. The driver, a 21-year-old man, suffered head injuries, was taken to hospital for treatment and is currently in a stable condition. Manchester Police have now launched an investigation and are particularly keen to speak to the two witnesses walking on pavement. Report by Johnny Chiodini.
