Within its program to restore trust among the social components in the liberated areas from ISIS, Masrat for Cultural and Media Development (MCMD) convened a large meeting for communities leaders and administrative officials in Sinjar, Bashiqa and Bahzani districts.
Participants in the meeting discussed the mechanisms and methods proposed by MCMD to restore trust in their own cities.
The meeting tackled various issues which may hinder these mechanisms such as the absence of justice and the failure to respond to the demands of the Yazidi people to prosecute the perpetrators, redress the victims and the return of IDPs to Sinjar. These are the main demands that are suspended since the liberation of the Yazidi areas from ISIS.
Discussions also included the complications of managing the liberated areas from ISIS in the light of the political conflict among the bigger groups in these areas, and other similar complications in issues like demining the lands, the absence of services in a way that may impede the return of IDPs in spite of liberating their areas.
