  • When we were hiding in the mountain some people in the group had mobile phones with them and they got news . Bad news, they learned that ISIS has surrounded the mountain and we were scared that they will find our place. <br />
<br />
We were very tired, we were hungry and thirsty. <br />
<br />
I cannot forget those moments in my life. All the Yazidis were walking and walking and praying for our lives because we thought that all of us we will die.

  • When we arrived in Lesbos in Greece we thought that we will be safe, but they put us in a camp together with many Muslim man. Some of them looked like ISIS with long beards, some were Afghan, some Pakistani and there were some Arabs too. We were scared and we said to the police that they should put us in a separate place. <br />
<br />
In Leros the Afghans and Pakistanis attacked us few times, and sometimes after their Friday prayers they were making gestures like they wanted to behead us.

  • On the 3rd of August 2014 at 2:30 at night I was chatting with a friend on Facebook. At some point he warned me that ISIS is heading towards my village. I replied that there is nothing to fear about, we are in our village, we are peaceful, we have no weapons. I thought that they will not harm us. <br />
<br />
Half an hour later I’ve heard the first gun shot. Most of my family were sleeping on the roof because it was a hot night. When I heard more gunshots I closed my laptop and I went upstairs to inform my father. <br />
<br />
That was at 3 o’clock. We waited for few hours and at 7 in the morning we left our village.
