YAZIDIS refused to be held under siege today as they denounced a wall being built to divide Shengal in northern Iraq from neighbouring Rojava in northern Syria.
Spokeswoman for the autonomous administration in Shengal, Xezal Resho, said its construction poses a threat to all people in the region, particularly the Yazidi people.
They survived a 2014 genocide at the hands of Isis by crossing the border which is now closed as a result , she said.
