In December 2011, the Ezidische Akademie (EA) e.V. Hannover and The Society for Endangered Peoples e.V. in Göttingen sent an emergency transport with supplies to the Shingal region in North Iraq. They relied on and strengthened already existing contacts to individuals and Non Government Organizations (NGOs) there. The suffering of the population was determined to be so great that both organizations wish to initiate an aid program: "Humanitarian Help for Children in Iraq."  For this reason, plans are underway for a group to visit the Shingal region in October 2012. We are trying to make it possible, for example, to bring one -- or perhaps two to three -- severely handicapped children along on the return trip for medical treatment in Germany. We are in contact with German NGOs who have shown interest in giving us their support.

In the past weeks, two murders, in which Yazidis were involved, have received much attention in the German media: in Remminghausen, near Detmold, 18-year-old Arzu Ö. was kidnapped by her siblings because she had fallen in love with a German youth; it is feared that she was also murdered.  In Stolzenau, Lower Saxony, 13-year-old Zozan B. was shot to death by her father because she had run away from home as a result of problems with her parents.

Allow us to take a moment of your time to introduce you to our still young organization, the Ezidische Akademie e. V. Hannover. We would like to take this opportunity to recommend the Academy to you as a future cooperation partner and contact address for Ezidi affairs, regarding a variety of issues and events. Just recently, 2009, we founded this non-profit organization dedicated to the research, promotion, and integration of Ezidism in Germany.
