Aide aux réfugiés : envoyez vos dons à l'École internationale de Duhok





(D'après l'article paru hier dans Aachener Zeitung : Aachener Friedenspreisträger braucht Spenden )

Les milices terroristes de l’État islamique se déchaînent avec une violence inimaginable. Des gens sont décapités ou enterrés vivants, et à ce jour, mille femmes et jeunes filles ont été enlevées, mariées de force, vendues en esclaves ou données en butin aux terroristes. 

L’année dernière, Mgr Rabban Al-Qas a reçu le prix de la Paix d’Aix-la-Chapelle, pour avoir fondé une école dans la Région kurde à Duhok, qui dispense un enseignement de qualité aux garçons comme aux filles, indépendamment de leur appartenance religieuse.

Le principe fondateur de cette école, qui est considérée comme un signe d’espoir pour toute la région, est que chacun, quels que soient son sexe, son origine ou sa religion, a droit à l’éducation. Située à 60 km de Mossoul, ville occupée par les combattants de l’État islamique, cette école et sa philosophie sont, dans le pire des scénario, une cible de choix pour cet État islamique.

En conséquence, Mgr Rabban Al-Qas a mis en place des équipes composées d’élèves et de bénévoles pour se porter au secours de 3000 familles réfugiées (environ 15 000 personnes) qu’il a fallu reloger jusque dans les plus petits villages. Dépourvus de tout, abri, vêtements, nourriture, médicaments, ils n’ont pu, dans leur fuite, sauver que leur vie.

Les besoins sont grands et le défi est énorme pour la Région du Kurdistan.  Ils ont besoin de toute urgence d’un soutien financier extérieur. Vous pouvez aider à alléger une souffrance indescriptible. 

Tous vos dons parviendront dans leur intégralité à l’École. Dieter Spoo, agent pastoral de la paroisse catholique d’Aachen s;engage à faire parvenir vos dons dans leur intégralité à l’école de Duhok, via ce compte :

Support the International School of Duhok,
Winner of the 2013 Aachen Peace Prize:

Every hour the situation in Iraq is worsening. As you read this people are dying.

The terrorist militia of the Islamic State runs amok with unspeakable violence. People are being beheaded or buried alive, and to this day, more than a thousand women and girls have been abducted, forcibly married, sold as slaves or given as booty to terrorists.

More than 150,000 Christians, Yezidis and other minorities, fled in panic to the Kurdish Region, most on foot.

Many thousands of Yezidis are still trapped in the mountain of Shingal by the Islamic State terrorists, and are dying of hunger and thirst in temperatures as high as 50c.

Please help the winner of the Aachan Peace Prize to help others.

Bishop Rabban Al Qas, founder of the International School of Duhok, in Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which last year received the Aachen Peace Prize, is organizing the supply of essentials to more than 3,000 displaced families (approximately 15,000 people) in Duhok, who deprived of everything now urgently require: shelter, medicine, food, water, clothing, blankets, mattresses, hygiene items such as soap and shampoo - in their flight they could take practically nothing with them, often escaping with only the clothes they were wearing.

Worst of all - they have lost contact with family members and friends, not knowing if they managed to escape, if they are alive, or if they have been slaughtered or died on the arid mountainside.

Within days, Mgr Rabban has mobilized volunteer helpers, even in the smallest villages; volunteer students from the prize winning International School also joined in to help the refugees. But sadly, their need is far too great and the challenge is huge for the Kurdistan Region.

Many hundreds of thousands of innocent people have lost everything, their homes and belongings have all been destroyed, their wheat fields have been burnt and livestock stolen.

Urgent external financial support is needed. Your help can alleviate untold sufferings and help to save lives.

Support Kurdish Independence



WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:Support Kurdish Independence

For over a century, the Kurdish people have been repeatedly tortured, gassed, and brutally repressed in every country they live in. Denied an independent state of their own, the Kurds have suffered innumerable injustices at the hands of the people ruling them, including but not limited to a horrific genocide at the hands of Saddam Hussein in the late 80s. Recently, the President of Iraqi Kurdistan, Masoud Barzani, announced his support for an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq. The Kurds, already given self-autonomy in part of Iraq, have proven themselves more than able to run a country and are currently fighting against the malicious terrorist group, ISIL. As such, the Obama Administration should support Kurdish Independence for the betterment of the region and the world.
