Two locals of the district of Shingal west of Mosul, home to the Ezidi community, are missing since August 22nd and their truck was found on the way to Mount Shingal, relatives said.

Sileman Khalil Eido, brother of Barjas, said his brother is driver of cargo vehicle transporting construction material and has no affiliation to any of the political parties.
"He has gone missing with our relative Jamil Khidir on August 22nd in Mount Shingal," Sileman said. "We have checked with all security forces, poltical parties and armed groups in Shingal but no one had any information about them," he added.
""My brother and Jamil had no problem or issue with anyone. We call on the security services to uncover their fate as soon as possible.
Shingal is one of the disputed territories between Erbil-based Kurdistan Regional Government KRG and Iraqi government. It is home for Ezidi ethno-religious minority whom the Jihadist fighters of so-called Islamic State ISIS accuse of being infidels.
In August 2104, ISIS took control of significant cities of the north, committing atrocities mounted to genocidal acts against the Ezidi minority, centered around their centuries-old ancestral home of Shingal.
Natiq Alo Ahmed, media officer of SHingal police, said relatives of the tow missing filed the case and they are following the case. "So far we could not get any information about their destiny."
"We have gone to Mount Shingal and found the truck near the main road. There was no any sign of bullet and it is not broken so let us see where the investigations will lead us," Ahmed added.
Tens of thousands of Ezidis fled their homes toward the 4,800-foot-high and almost 100-km-long Mount Shingal and the adjacent Kurdistan region and still in living in IDP camps. About 2,800 enslaved women and girls are still missing after many were trafficked and enslaved in ISIS controlled Syrian territories. About 80 mass graves and tens of individual graves were found yet so far one fourth of it has been exhumed.
Since the military defeat of ISIS, discord over security arrangements, public services, and the lack of a unified administration, have plagued victims in the war-ravaged region.
