German military instructors begin training Iraqi Yezidis in the fight against ISIS militants

German Defense Minister Ursula Gertrud von der Lyayen told the media that the representatives of the armed forces of Germany begin to train Iraqi Yezidis in the fight against the militants of the so-called Islamic State. For reference: Yezidis - an ethnic group belonging to the Kurdish branch and recognized by experts of one of the oldest nations on the planet. Yezidis profess the ancient Middle Eastern religion - Yezidism. More than 600 thousand Yezidis live in Iraq. ISIS fighters consider Yezidis "infidels."
From now on, our military instructors are training Yezidis, who intend to win back their lands from ISIL militants.
Meanwhile, in Russia, an increasing number of supporters have the initiative of introducing disciplines into educational standards that will tell schoolchildren and students how to counteract recruiting extremist organizations. The initiative was voiced by representatives of the Public Chamber of Russia, citing the proposal of the increasing number of cases of recruitment of citizens of the Russian Federation by representatives of the LIH network. According to representatives of the CP of the Russian Federation, they wrote a letter to the Minister of Education Livanov asking to pay attention to the initiative.
Perhaps, for stories to schoolchildren and students about opposing the ISIL recruiters it is not necessary to introduce a new academic discipline, for this it would be worthwhile to provide hours, for example, as part of the Life Safety course.
