Sinjar after ISIS
This case study of Sinjar also shows that Iraq after ISIS contains potential for new conflict, stimulated by both real and perceived threats to the human security of the different Iraqi communities vis-à-vis each other. This reality demands a pro-active and comprehensive conflict management
strategy oriented to Iraq as a whole rather than “ISIS only”, while taking into account root drivers of conflict, such as the Disputed Internal Boundaries. It was precisely this lack of a political and security agreement, inclusive of all Iraqi communities, where ISIS was able to generate support and
eventually control many parts of Iraq. Only an inclusive and long-term peacebuilding plan, critically assessing Iraq’s political and security disputes and developed in consultation with all local communities, medical laboratory can break the cycle of violence and contribute to sustainable peace and stability in Iraq. !
