Remarks by the SRSG for Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), Ms. Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, at the 9th Annual Commemoration of Victims of the Genocide Against Yazidis and other Iraqi Components [EN/AR/KU]

Attachments

Prime Minister,

Excellencies,

Ladies and gentlemen,

When remembering the untold suffering of the Yazidi community in the district of Sinjar, words come up short.

Too many lives were lost; too many families were ripped apart; and too many traumas were inflicted on people who did not deserve them.

Today, we are listening, and we will hear directly from brave voices and listen to their tragic accounts of what happened. Importantly, we will also listen to their perspectives on what must happen next.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have not forgotten – nor will we forget. To prevent such atrocities from reoccurring, undying memory is a collective duty.

But as I have said many times: this memory must not be static. The most powerful form of remembrance is the one that compels action.

In August 2019, I publicly shared my shock after one of my early visits to Sinjar. Five years after the horrific violence, which culminated in heinous crimes against the Yazidis, and many others, the need for action was still so clearly visible and so painfully palpable.

In other words: while the people of Sinjar urgently needed to rebuild their lives, they were facing immense obstacles. Obstacles due to discord on stable security structures and a unified administration.

In October 2020, so almost three years ago, agreement was reached between Baghdad and Erbil. At last. The Sinjar Agreement, which focused on governance and security arrangements, as well as the much-needed reconstruction of the district, was a first but important step in the right direction.

And, the UN was hopeful. Hopeful that the Agreement would be the start of a new chapter for Sinjar. One in which the interests of the Sinjari people would come first. One in which all actors, no matter their background or affiliation, would stand up…

FET supplies electric observation-class ROV to University

Forum Energy Technologies (FET) has secured a contract from the Memorial University of Newfoundland to supply an electric observation-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to its Fisheries and Marine Institute (MI), School of Ocean Technology.

FET supplies electric observation-class ROV to University

The primary function of the Sub-Atlantic Mohican ROV system will be to support ocean research, while it will also be used for pilot technician training. For ocean research operations, the ROV will be required to carry a payload skid for navigation, equipment and sensors, as well as be capable of manipulation and intervention.

The Mohican is equipped for inspection tasks, non-destructive testing (NDT), light intervention, pipeline/cable/seabed survey, diver assist/safety, harbour and port security, scientific survey and data collection, renewable energy projects, civil engineering, long tunnel excursion and for inland waterways. The ROV was manufactured at FET’s UK facility at Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, UK, and delivered to MI this year.

Kevin Taylor, FET Vice President – Subsea Vehicles, said: “FET has a strong reputation as a single source for manufacturing and delivering high-quality, robust vehicles and associated auxiliary products which are suited to underwater industry applications. As well as defence, this includes oil and gas, renewables, telecommunications, mining, aquaculture and academia. This contract demonstrates the value our vehicles can also offer to scientific research projects. We are very proud that Memorial University recognises our capabilities and reliability. I am looking forward to seeing our system provide the required operational resilience and performance standards expected in such an important sector.”

Joe Singleton, Interim Head for the School of Ocean Technology at the MI of Memorial University, said: “The acquisition of the FET Mohican ROV system vastly increases our capability to complete scientific observation and sampling research work up to depths of 2000 m. The ability to…

Tesla to open first direct sales outlet in Connecticut at Mohegan Sun

Gamblers will soon be able to take a break from the slots to admire and buy the latest models of Tesla electric vehicles at a dealership and showroom set to open this fall at Mohegan Sun, the casino announced Wednesday.

The new Tesla Sales & Delivery Center will be located in The Shops at Mohegan Sun across from Todd English’s Tuscany restaurant. Prospective buyers can use casino loyalty points to buy a Tesla and test drive the cars on Mohegan Sun’s property.

Located on sovereign tribal land, Mohegan Sun will be the first location in Connecticut that you can directly buy a Tesla: Once again this year the state legislature failed to put forward a bill to allow Tesla and other electric-vehicle manufacturers to sell directly to customers. 

On non-tribal land in the state, electric car-makers instead must open franchised dealerships.

Mohegan Sun officials said the new Tesla outlet will employ and train Mohegan Tribal members and casino employees, preparing them for jobs at the carmaker.

“This endeavor with Tesla marks an electrifying milestone in Mohegan Sun’s commitment to fostering impactful relationships, promoting environmental sustainability and offering cutting-edge experiences for our millions of annual guests,” said Jeff Hamilton, the casino’s president and general manager.

14 Best Hikes In Ohio

Humans stand on two feet for a reason: To walk, to run, and to hike. In Ohio, getaways like Mohican State Park will unfold before you while the fresh, earthy aroma of Rhododendron Cove’s undergrowth fills the air — the trees in Old Man’s Cave and Cedar Falls can show you the way. Here are fourteen locations with scenic views steeped in Ohio pride that deserve to be discovered. From expert to novice hikers, we selected trails for every skill level. Lace on your hiking boots and get ready for these memorable hikes in the Buckeye State!

Old Man’s Cave and Cedar Falls

The Upper Falls at Old Man’s CaveThe Upper Falls at Old Man’s Cave

Hocking Hills State Park is one of the most popular parks in the state for a reason. You can follow many paths, so choosing each trail can be challenging. However, we recommend a charming loop from Old Man’s Cave to Cedar Falls and back. This 6-mile loop will bring you through to the Upper Falls, then the gorge valley, passing the Lower Falls and Queer Creek. Following the trail, you can look for blue blaze marks around Grandma Gatewood Trail, where you will encounter recess caves, seasonal waterfalls, and slump blocks before reaching Cedar Falls. At this point, you can choose between going up to the parking lot to find facilities to stop for a picnic on the tables or descending via the Gorge Overlook Trail, leading to Rose Lake and back to Old Man’s Cave. For a more extended adventure, explore the new trails to Whispering Cave by following the Hemlock Bridge Trail, adding 1.2 miles to your hike.

Tesla to sell electric cars at Mohegan Sun casino, skirting state ban

Electric vehicle maker Tesla has been selling its cars to eager U.S. consumers since 2008. But not in Connecticut.

This state is one of more than a dozen that ban automobile manufacturers from selling directly to consumers, requiring instead that new cars be purchased through a licensed dealership. Tesla sells all of its new vehicles directly to consumers, primarily via online ordering, and delivers them through a network of storefronts in states that allow the company’s direct-sales model. 

For Connecticut EV enthusiasts, picking up a newly purchased Tesla meant driving across state lines — until now. 

On Wednesday, Mohegan Sun announced that Tesla plans to open a “Sales & Delivery Center” at the casino’s mall before the end of this year. Beginning this fall, patrons will be able to buy or pick up new Tesla vehicles at the store, or take the cars for a test drive around the resort grounds. The storefront will sit across from chef Todd English’s restaurant, Tuscany.

The casino’s press release Wednesday described Tesla’s new storefront as “a first-of-its-kind venture” for the state. “Locals and visitors alike will soon have the chance to take home the Model Y, Model 3, Model S and more,” the announcement read. 

In response to the news, Hayden Reynolds, chairman of the Connecticut Automotive Retail Association, said, “It is essential to strike a balance between respecting tribal sovereignty and maintaining a level playing field for all car dealerships in Connecticut.” Reynolds said the association respects the tribe’s sovereignty, “but we strongly believe that this does not change the discussion about Tesla and other EV manufacturers with direct-to-consumer sales, and we continue to oppose that model. Connecticut’s dealer franchise laws benefit consumers and provide a competitive marketplace.”

Connecticut is only the latest state where Tesla has employed this strategy…

US tries to undermine Iran-Iraq economic relations

Kharrazi made the comments in a meeting with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert in Tehran on Monday.

In the meeting, the former Iranian foreign minister pointed to recent Qur’an sacrilege in Sweden and Denmark, calling on the United Nations to clearly define freedom of expression in a resolution.

He further emphasized the need to withdraw foreign military forces from Iraq as soon as possible in accordance with a piece of legislation approved by the Iraqi parliament in early 2020 after the assassination of the anti-terror commanders in a US airstrike.

He also pointed out the Iraqis are able to govern themselves independently and secure their country, highlighting that the Iraqis do not need any foreign troops.

Kharazi also referred to the UN report regarding Iran’s defensive measures against the bases of separatist terrorist groups in northern Iraq and emphasized the need for realism in preparing such reports by the UN.

“Iran, in accordance with its right to legitimate defense and in response to the moves of terrorist groups, has been forced to take action,” he noted.

Elsewhere, Iran’s Foreign Policy Strategic Council further pointed out that the United States attempts to undermine the economic relations between Iran and Iraq, noting that the US pressures to prevent the payment of Iraq’s debt to Iran will only increase the suffering and hardship of the Iraqi people.

Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, for her part, pointed to the security agreement between Iran and Iraq and the two sides’ emphasis on its full implementation and expressed hope that this would prevent such problems from emerging again.

She also expressed her satisfaction with her trip to Iran and appreciated Iran’s positive role in helping Iraq, voicing hope that regional and international actors will help advance the Iraqi government’s plans for political stability, security and prosperity…
