Germany Greens Advocating for Yazidi Residency Opportunities
On the eleventh anniversary of the genocide perpetrated by the Islamic State (IS) against the Yazidi people in Sinjar, Iraq, the Greens have issued a statement emphasizing the importance of ensuring the rights and safety of Yazidi members in Germany.
The joint statement by Katharina Dröge, Green parliamentary group leader, and Max Lucks, the party's spokesperson on human rights policy, was issued on Saturday evening.
The Greens' statement underscores the ongoing struggles faced by Yazidi members in Germany, highlighting the need for the German government to provide a safe and secure future for this vulnerable community.
The genocide against the Yazidis by IS was aimed at the systematic elimination of the Yazidi people. The current perspectives for Yazidi members to stay in Germany are influenced by the ongoing insecurity and persecution they face in Iraq and Syria. Many Yazidis living in displacement camps or in Sinjar express a strong preference to remain abroad due to fears of renewed persecution and lack of political and security guarantees.
Germany, along with other Western countries, has recognized the Yazidi genocide and has provided asylum and protection to Yazidi survivors. However, the long-term legal and social integration prospects for Yazidi refugees in Germany depend on ongoing policies concerning asylum, family reunification, and humanitarian protection.
The Greens' statement calls for action to be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of Yazidi members in Germany. The party is advocating for a perspective that would allow Yazidi members to remain in Germany, urging the German government to take steps towards providing a secure future for this community.
The statement by the Greens on the eleventh anniversary of the genocide was about the Yazidi genocide in Sinjar, Iraq. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by the Yazidi community and the need for continued support and action.
- The Greens' statement, issued on the eleventh anniversary of the Yazidi genocide, emphasizes the necessity of policy-and-legislation changes to ensure the long-term safety and integration of Yazidi members in Germany, particularly concerning asylum, family reunification, and humanitarian protection.
- Amidst concerns of renewed persecution and lack of guarantees in Iraq and Syria, the ongoing war-and-conflicts have significantly influenced the perspectives of Yazidi members to stay in Germany, with many preferring to remain abroad.
