| [RUDAW.NET] The Shabak minority in Nineveh province wants only the Peshmerga to liberate their homes from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS), saying that the operation of Iraqi forces in their areas will create decades of strife. "Participation of any other Iraqi forces will open the hostile and Dire Revenge front for tens of years with the Shabaks," Salim al-Shabaki, a representative of Shabaks in the Iraqi parliament, told Summaria news on Tuesday. "The Shabaks won’t accept participation of any other forces except the Peshmerga to liberate their villages from ISIS, despite their respect to all other security forces under different names," he added. Al-Shabaki said that the Peshmerga have liberated some Shabak villages recently and he believes they will liberate the remaining villages soon. He emphasized that Shabaks are ethnically Kurdish and want their areas in Nineveh annexed with the Kurdistan Region after the war with ISIS, noting that "we have moved 6,700 Shabak families from the southern provinces to the Kurdistan Region." "The Shabaks are part of the Kurdish nation, and they will enjoy same rights like their Kurdish brothers in all Nineveh soon, and like the residents of Kurdistan, our areas will return to Erbil, Dohuk, and Sulaimani provinces. Shabaks support establishing a new province in their area to become part of the Kurdistan Region," he said. The Shabak representative earlier in July told Rudaw that there should be a road map before the djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... offensive that all entities in the province agree to, one in which the Shabak minority become part of the Kurdistan Region. "So far we have 1,384 deaders and 208 Shabaks who are still held captive by ISIS and their fate is unknown," he said. "Therefore we won’t stay with Mosul. We want to incorporate with the KRG [Kurdistan Regional Government] and become the fifth province of the Kurdistan Region." There are 56 Shabak villages in Nineveh which are in Qaraqush, Nimrud, Bartle, Tel Kaif and Bashiqa. The Shabak are an ethnic and cultural minority living in northern Iraq. |

| #2 In October 2013 Masoud Barzani, President of the Iraqi Kurdistan, basically created a Peshmerga protectorate over thirty Shabak villages in the Mosul region. Elsewhere in the north, the Shabak have little love for Sunnis as they were uprooted from their homes in southern Iraq during the Saddam Hussein epoch. |
