Iraq integration of YBŞ into national security forces

Overview

The Iraqi government has initiated a process to integrate members of the Sinjar Resistance Units (YBŞ)—an organization identified as an extension of the PKK—into official state security institutions. Under an agreement directed by Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi, approximately 4,000 to 4,165 personnel, including women, are being absorbed into the Ministry of Interior and the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi).

As part of this transition, the Iraqi military has begun taking control of strategic military sites and checkpoints in the Sinjar district. This includes the transfer of security responsibility for Mount Sinjar to federal authorities, marked by the handover of control to the Iraqi army and other federal security units.

The move aims to consolidate all weapons and military authority under the central state in accordance with the Iraqi Constitution. Alongside these security measures, the federal government is working on reconstruction efforts, providing compensation to affected families, facilitating the return of displaced persons, and planning the establishment of a local administration through legal processes.
