Kidnapped Yazidi woman stuck in Gaza for years yearns to be set free

[Claira]

Over 100 hostages remain in the hands of Hamas’s extremist militias, yet it turns out that Hamas militants were also keen on kidnapping other nationals when the opportunity arose.

This is the unbelievable story of M., a 20-year-old Yazidi woman from Sinjar, who was abducted in August 2014 by ISIS terrorists when she was 11, and is now waiting in Gaza for her freedom.

What a horrific story. Kidnapped by ISIS when she was just 11 years old, incarcerated and then sold to a Palestinian man from Gaza who was apparently affiliated with Hamas. And to think that she is just one of thousands of women who've suffered the same horrific abuse.

Update:  M. has finally managed to leave the Gaza Strip. She is currently being treated at an American facility in the region and is making her way back to her family. I was concerned that efforts to rescue her would prove futile, and am relieved to learn they were successful.

Glad to hear M has left captivity. Thou horrific what the Yazidi people have suffered from many of the major actors in the Middle East. Part of me yearns for Israel’s operation to lead to border changes in the region and for the Yazidi’s and Kurds to get their own country.

I doubt the Yazidi will ever get their own country and I've never heard of them aspiring for one.  I agree the Kurds deserve one but that's easier said than done because of a guy called Erdogan (it even rhymes )....and Iran.

History shows when authoritarian regimes fall they leave a power vacuum that implodes creating chaos and many new borders. Look at Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, the fall of communism etc. There is much opportunity in chaos
