Current Event 11/5/15

My article is about Yazidi refugees returning to their homes to fight ISIS. The title is “Driven by horrific memories, Yazidis prepare to reclaim their homes from ISIS.” Hundreds of Yazidis have been massacred by ISIS, and even more have been sold into slavery. Many Yazidi women have been killing themselves in captivity, believing that slavery under ISIS is a fate worse than death. About 5000 Yazidis have taken up arms to fight ISIS instead of continuing to run away. There are hundreds of ISIS soldiers still in the Yazidis homeland, and many will die before they leave. This event affects me because ISIS is one of the most prominent terror groups today. They are only getting bigger, and are a growing problem. The Yazidis are fighting to protect their homes, their families, and their sacred religious sites. Thousands of them had to climb a mountain to escape being massacred. ISIS is one of the greatest evils of the modern age and will kill as many people as it can for as long as it can. This event affects the world because ISIS continues to bomb, rape, murder, kill, and destroy as many innocent people as it possibly can. They should be exterminated as soon as possible. The Yazidis are only the first to have to fight to defend their homes. Soon, more and more people will be having to fight ISIS just to stay alive. In a matter of years, we may be fighting them here as well. Every day, they grow stronger and destroy more irreplaceable history.
