Traditionally, people attend funerals to lament someone's death.
During a genocidal campaign targeting Mirgah (Yazidi Emirate), Avdal Omara joined the battlefield to defend his land accompanied by his young nephew Laveje. Avdal promised his sister Pire that he would keep Laveje safe. In the heat of battle, Laveje courageously rushed to save Avdal from a perilous situation, but tragically, he was fatally stabbed.
His death led to a lamentation model performed during social and religious gatherings.
Yazda produced the videos with support from Antiquities Coalition and USAID.
