Yazidis Unifying in New Leadership Towards Sovereignty
Yazidi Leaders Overcoming Death of Chief Prince with Diplomatic Support

Quotable:

"The Yazidi people can already be reassured of the strength and
stability of their future Crown Prince Naif, in all humility, without making any claims
for himself, already arranged for everything that his people needed. This will finally
give the Yazidi people a voice, and a seat at the table, to speak for themselves in
international affairs." Prince Judge Matthew of Thebes, Chief Inspector General,
Ignita Veritas United (IVU) inter-governmental (IGO)

Press Release:
Yazidi tribal leaders are unifying, over the death of their long-time
Chief Prince, and the unification with new leadership now positions the Yazidis to
launch plans, many years in preparation, to assert their sovereignty as an indigenous
people in diplomatic relations, under new leadership.

The previous Chief Prince of the Yazidi people (since 1944) passed away by natural
causes on 28 January 2019. By ancient Yazidi law, a successor "must have both
parents from one of the six Yazidi Royal Houses" (Yazidi Rule of Succession ca. 1120
AD). His son has a mother who is not from any Royal House, and is thus disqualified by
Yazidi law, and the family of the past Chief Prince has no other heirs qualified as
candidates for succession.

The Yazidi indigenous people of ancient Iraq are recognized as striving to survive their
74th Genocide, described as "One of the world's most endangered religious minorities"
by the Oxford Encyclopedia of Religion (2018). The Yazidi people thus cannot afford
any disruptions of unity, requiring a smooth succession of a new Chief Prince, during
this critical period of their geopolitical fight for survival.

The inter-governmental international law firm, Magna Carta Bar Chambers (MCBC),
issued a Barristers Opinion on Yazidi Royal Succession, with recommendations to
Yazidi leaders, to use unification and succession to ensure full legalization of Yazidi
sovereign statehood in diplomatic relations:

The law firm report advises that Prince Naif bin Dawud bin Sulaiman is the only
candidate fully qualified for succession under Yazidi law, enabling completion of many
years of expert work on full legal restoration of the Yazidi Kingdom of Ezidkhan. It
"pledges our continued support" for "all other Yazidi Princes and community leaders",
"to help establish many official diplomatic roles for them to share in the powers and
authorities of the Yazidi Kingdom."

The inter-governmental organization (IGO) Ignita Veritas United (IVU) issued a
Diplomatic Recognition of the Yazidi nation represented by Prince Naif, on behalf of its
Member States including an International Royal Alliance of Kingdoms, backed by an
IGO Court of Justice and IGO refugee agency supported by a university:

The statement confirms official recognition of Prince Naif since 2016 as "Crown Prince
(Royal Successor) of the Yazidi people, and also as Crown Regent and thus Acting Head
of State of the restored Kingdom of Ezidkhan as the Yazidi sovereign nation state", on
the basis of his being "the leader of the historic Restoration of Ezidkhan, leading our
group of affiliated IGO institutions in its legal restoration to full diplomatic status".

The IGO letter declares that it "serves as a shared Ministry of Foreign Affairs
providing full legal and diplomatic support and infrastructure for Member States
such as Ezidkhan giving a geopolitical platform for worldwide impact."

More than a two-thirds majority of all Yazidi tribal leaders and political leaders,
throughout the Yazidi ancestral territories of Northern Iraq, have already given
statements nominating and supporting Crown Prince Naif for Royal Succession.

The Chief Inspector General of the IGO group, Prince Judge Matthew of Thebes,
summarized the movement by this statement:

"This Yazidi unification, based upon the Restoration led by Crown Prince Naif, is the
best possible move for Yazidi survival. The Yazidi people can already be reassured of
the strength and stability of their future, now driven by the power and authority of
Ezidkhan Kingdom as their ancestral heritage. It was immediately clear to our
Diplomatic Corps, that Crown Prince Naif, in all humility, without making any claims for
himself, already arranged for everything that his people needed. This will finally give
the Yazidi people a voice, and a seat at the table, to speak for themselves in
international affairs."

Crown Prince Naif reportedly commented to supporting Diplomats: "I am honored
and humbled by this unexpected show of overwhelming support, calling me to a
higher level of sacred service representing my beloved people. I only wanted to do the
best for the Yazidi nation to have a voice in diplomatic relations. But I accept this call
to service by the Yazidi tribal leaders supported by the inter-governmental agencies."
