Yazidi

Yazidi is the name of a group of people who live in the Middle East, mainly in Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. They have their own unique religion and culture, different from other religions like Islam, Christianity, or Judaism.

Yazidis believe in one god who created the world and appointed seven angels to guide and protect humans. They also believe in a figure called Melek Taus, who they consider to be the chief of angels and responsible for the protection of the world.

Yazidis have faced a lot of persecution and discrimination throughout history because of their beliefs, and they have been victims of genocide, slavery, and forced conversion. This is because some people think that their religion is devil-worship or not legitimate, which is not true.

Despite these challenges, Yazidis have survived and maintained their unique culture and traditions, which include celebrating New Year's Day, annual pilgrimages to sacred shrines, and the practice of harmony between nature and humans.

In recent years, the world has become more aware of the Yazidi struggle, and many organizations and governments are working to support them and protect their rights.
