At Carsema Sor (Yazidi New Year) 36 woman received blessings from Baba Sheikh, the religious leader of the Yazidi. During the 74th genocide against the Yazidi community at 3rd August 2014 they had been abducted by the Islamic State and were held as slaves by the terrorists since then. SDF forces from Rojava in North-Syria freed them during the liberation of Raqqa and brought them back to their families only some days before the Yazidi New Year.
