Haider Shashu: We will never give up the Kurdish identity of Shingles Haider Shashu, the commander of the Azdekan Defense Forces affiliated with the KDP, reaffirmed his firm position regarding the identity of Shingal district, stressing that "we have never given up, and we will never give up, the Kurdish identity of Shingles, neither in the past nor now." Shashu explained that Article 140 is a constitutional provision in Iraq, noting that statements claiming that the article has been canceled or no longer applies to Sinjar are nothing more than "passing comments and just words spoken to appease those around them."
